Viewport
A Viewport is the visible area of a webpage. The viewport for a mobile device will be smaller than a desktop screen, and there is considerable variance within device types as well.
Websites need to be responsive to account for differing viewport sizes to avoid massive visual errors and user frustration, which is why responsive web design is so important.
