    On one hand, I agree this might be the word I'm looking for, on the other, this is not explicitly refering to "It can work on multiple devices", it just says "hey, I can response generally". I'm sorry that the sentence isn't as clear as I want, unfortunatelly I have no words for better explanation. This answer will be picked as the correct one if there is none better provided in some time. Thanks! :-) Commented Feb 27, 2018 at 12:32

    @Tatranskymedved actually, "Responsive Design" is the technical term for specifically making a web application which scales well regardless of the screen size. It doesn't refer to the page "responding to the user" or things like that, rather the layout responds to the screen size. It may still not be what you want, especially if you want to use it to explain the concept in a non-technical way, but it does specifically refer to working well on a wide variety of devices.

    Responsive Design is actually the correct technical term for this type of web site. see w3schools.com/html/html_responsive.asp Commented Mar 1, 2018 at 21:56

    @Tatranskymedved This is the most accurate answer. A quick Google search of "Responsive Wordpress Templates" will illustrate that it means precisely what you are looking for. Commented Mar 1, 2018 at 22:47
  • The OP's question asks for a word to describe a system that can be used on multiple devices or multiple peripheries. "Responsive" - although applicable to the specific example that the OP then gives - does not answer the question fully because it is ascribed mainly to interfaces, and not systems.
