based on screen size, device and OS; usually
faster load times than RWD (server-side)

required for maintenance due to multiple
codebases
+ Useful if you have a distinct mobile-
only experience vs. desktop; typically
faster load times vs RWD
- Two separate properties to maintain
and update; difficult to provide a custom
experience for tablets and phones;
limited functionality

same experience across devices means
limited opportunity to cater UX to
different user needs
