Media Queries
Also written as @media
A CSS feature that applies different styles based on conditions like screen width, letting one page adapt across phone, tablet, and desktop — the core mechanism behind responsive design.
Think of it like
Like a building's automatic doors that open differently for a person versus a delivery cart — the same doorway adapting its behavior based on what's approaching.
Junior or senior?
Junior sounds like
Says the design is 'responsive' without explaining how.
Senior sounds like
Can explain the actual breakpoints they chose and why, whether via media queries or a framework's system.
Ask them
“What breakpoints did you design around, and how did you decide where to put them?”
