Offers reduced work pressure, several simple tool kits like Bootstrap and Foundation.
However with responsive design there are few limitations on what features you include in the website as compared to a website that is being designed for the desktop pc.

The main principal behind client side adaptive web design is similar to that of responsive web design. The main characteristics are:
JavaScript is used extensively to improve user experience.
This design has the ability deliver Retina display quality and standard definition display to the other lower quality displays.
This type of approach does require to build the website from the beginning. Instead an existing website can easily converted to be made viewable on multiple platforms.
