What is a Breakpoint?

A breakpoint is a specific viewport width at which the layout of a website adapts responsively to provide an optimal user experience across different devices and screen sizes.

When to use Breakpoints?

Breakpoints should be used when designing a responsive layout to ensure that the user interface remains functional and visually appealing on various screen sizes, such as mobile phones, tablets, and desktops.

When not to use Breakpoints?

Avoid using breakpoints excessively or at arbitrary widths, as this can lead to a disjointed user experience. It's essential to focus on key breakpoints that correspond with major device categories rather than trying to accommodate every possible screen size.

What is the anatomy of a Breakpoint?

The anatomy of a breakpoint includes the specific pixel width (or viewport width) that triggers changes in layout, such as adjustments in element sizes, stacking of content, and the visibility of certain components based on the screen size.
