I am new to web designing and confused with the terms of responsive and fluid designs. Can you explain the difference between fluid design and responsive design? Which one is better for a website to load on mobile devices?

If you build a website with percentage (instead of pixel size), we call it a fluid design. In fluid design, the same layout loads on all devices.

In a responsive theme, different web layouts load on each device. That means the layout loads on a desktop PC are different from the iPad.

Thank you, Alex, for the explanation. Which one (fluid design or responsive design) is better for a mobile website?

Go for Responsive Themes. Fluid design is one method for developing responsive themes, but it has some problems with smaller screens.

No one is going for fluid designs these days. Its outdated. You should go for Bootstrap templates.

Responsive themes is a must now. Fluid designs fail in mobile view.
