Responsive Web Design

                   • Works across multitude of devices
                   • Optimized for screen resolutions, not
                         screen sizes
                   • Unified code base


Monday, November 7, 11
Design

                   • Focus on the content first
                   • Make sure its readable on variety of
                         resolutions
                   • Design around main content

Design

                   • Optimal images - Do you really need that
                         image?
                   • Easy to touch controls - Not necessarily
                         larger. Can use spacing
                   • Clear and concise navigation

Monday, November 7, 11
Development

                   • Avoid hover effects
                   • Avoid horizontal scrolling
                   • Keep the page light

Adobe’s Site

                   • Good Start
                   • Some readability issues
                   • Navigation is easy to use

Twitter’s Site


                   • Very simple to use
                   • Lots of spacing makes touching elements
                         easy and readable

Yahoo’s Site

                   • Focused on the content
                   • Browsing to more content is prominent
                   • Everything on the initial page is all about
                         the content
