Step 1: Setting Up Your HTML Structure

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
    <title>Responsive Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <header>
        <h1>Welcome to My Responsive Page</h1>
    </header>
    <main>
        <p>This is a sample paragraph.</p>
    </main>
    <footer>
        <p>Footer Content</p>
    </footer>
</body>
</html>

Step 2: Adding CSS for Responsiveness

Use the following CSS to ensure your page is responsive:

body {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

header {
    background-color: #4CAF50;
    color: white;
    padding: 10px 0;
    text-align: center;
}

main {
    padding: 15px;
}

footer {
    background-color: #333;
    color: white;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 10px 0;
}

@media (max-width: 600px) {
    header h1 {
        font-size: 24px;
    }
}
