There are three main techniques for implementing a website that can handle view screens of all types and sizes.

• Responsive Web Design: Serves the same HTML code on the same URL regardless of the users' device (for example, desktop, tablet, mobile, non-visual browser), but can render the display differently based on the screen size.
• Dynamic serving: Uses the same URL regardless of the device, but generates a different version of HTML for different device types based on what the server knows about the user's browser.
• Separate URLs: Serves different code to each device, and on separate URLs. This configuration tries to detect the users' device, then redirects to the appropriate page using HTTP redirects along with the Vary HTTP header.

Among the all three techniques Google recommends Responsive Web Design because it's the easiest design pattern to implement and maintain.
