Ensuring consistent design across different devices and screen sizes involves several key practices:

1. **Responsive Design**: Implement a responsive web design (RWD) approach using CSS media queries. This allows your website to adapt and display correctly on various screen sizes, from large desktop monitors to tablets and smartphones.

2. **Viewport Meta Tag**: Use the viewport meta tag in your HTML `<head>` to control the layout on mobile browsers. This tag ensures that the browser renders the page at an appropriate width and scale.

   ```html
   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
   ```

3. **Flexible Grid Layouts**: Use relative units like percentages or `em` instead of fixed units (`px`) for layout dimensions. This approach helps elements to resize proportionally based on the viewport size.

4. **Flexible Images and Media**: Ensure images, videos, and other media are also responsive by using `max-width: 100%;` in your CSS. This prevents them from overflowing their containers on smaller screens.

   ```css
   img, video {
       max-width: 100%;
       height: auto;
   }
   ```

5. **CSS Flexbox and Grid**: Utilize CSS Flexbox and Grid Layout modules for creating flexible and responsive layouts. They provide powerful tools for organizing content within containers and handling complex layouts efficiently.

6. **Testing Across Devices**: Regularly test your website across different devices and screen sizes during development. Use browser developer tools to simulate various devices or use physical devices for accurate testing.

7. **Performance Optimization**: Ensure that your design remains consistent without sacrificing performance. Optimize images and scripts to improve load times, especially on mobile devices with slower connections.

8. **Consistent Typography and UI Elements**: Maintain consistency in typography, colors, spacing, and UI elements across all screen sizes. This provides a unified experience for users regardless of the device they are using.

9. **Progressive Enhancement**: Start with a basic layout that works on all devices and then enhance it with advanced features for larger screens. This approach ensures a functional experience across a wide range of devices.

By following these practices, you can create a website design that adapts seamlessly to different devices and screen sizes, providing a consistent and user-friendly experience across the board.
