19. common mobile development options
separate device experiences responsive design (website+)
advantages: advantages:
• fully customized experience • lower ongoing maintenance
• low barrier to financial entry • one URL for all
• better user experience
challenges: challenges:
• ongoing maintenance, • more complex front-end
often per device coding & thoughtful content
• search disadvantages mapping
19

20. Google has expressed an opinion…
“ sites that use responsive web design, i.e. sites that
serve all devices on the same set of URLs, with each
URL serving the same HTML to all devices & using
”
just CSS to change how the page is rendered on the
device. this is Google's recommended configuration.

21. …but it’s also “enhancing”

22. desktop recommendations
• near term, do the best with what you have. if
starting from scratch, at a minimum, get back in
the Delorean & set it for 2009, & develop mobile
friendly landing pages, & optimize the experience
for popular mobile content. Low-functioning mobile
site experiences are also easier than ever before.
• plan for responsive design in future iterations
thinking mobile first
• but first, develop a content strategy if you don’t
have one already, & consider content variations by
outpost, device, & localized
• then, build & organize your content warehouse, the
lifeblood of integrated digital success 22

experiences, but few fully
maximized their mobile opportunity

30. smartphone travel booking
while smartphone travel booking is expected to grow significantly, nearly
2x the amount of consumers will use smartphones to research vs. book

31. standard travel mobile experience: booking engine
it’s a start, but “research” means more than booking. where’s the
local interests, attractions, maps, room images, & other info that
matters to me & my decision?
31

32. and how’s that app treating me?
exact same
experience,
so what’s
the point?
32

33. WWJND? (what would Jamie Nordstrom do)
create the best customer
experience possible at
every desired touch-point
website: develop the website & mobile: provide a handheld tablet: today, Nordstrom has
content to be as accessible & friendly experience, in this case one site experience for personal
future forward as possible for m.nordstrom.com for full site computer & tablet users, & the
all customers consumption, while publicizing application is available for
an alternative application enhanced shopping in tablet
experience & its benefits friendly format
all is based on stated customer
desires & behavior, not on
Nordstrom desired outcome 33
