    I've just merged "web-design" into website-design. Because website-design is used more than 1.5x as often, the tool wouldn't let me do the synonym the other way around. Jun 23, 2016 at 14:18

My two-cents would be to combine website-design and web-design, but leave the others separate.

Personally I would favor just responsive over responsive-webdesign since this isn't a broad term and most people associate the word responsive with website design in any case and it would be more favorable in my honest opinion to have people tagging both website-design and responsive at the same time rather than one or the other since both are related and would enhance the browsing through tags.

    You wouldn't be worried about "responsive" getting confused with performance issues around how responsive their server is to requests? Nov 7, 2013 at 16:26

is a different concept than the rest. It should be left separate. We should write a tag wiki for it. It should be renamed to be consistent with the main tag for design.


The other three are very similar. and mean exactly the same thing to me.

I could see the case for being separate as it could have different meanings. However in the context of this site, which is all about websites, it seems to refer to "web design" in all the tagged questions. The only exception that I notice is the question What is good URI design? which is talking about how URLs should look. When merging the tags, I would un-tag "design" from this question.

I would pick "web-design" as the canonical name for these three tags.
