USED EVERYWHERE & ANYWHERE And we’re not only using them on the go but increasingly when we have some downtime including the sofa. USE OF MOBILE DEVICES Our use of mobile devices is increasingly replicating that of desktop.
- 81. www.flickr.com/photos/thecaucas/2597813380 IMPLICATIONS FOR UX & DESIGN THINKING AN EQUAL & CONTINUOUS EXPERIENCE ACROSS DEVICES As they & the services we use become more sophisticated & optimised we expect more from them.

- 82. www.flickr.com/photos/thecaucas/2597813380 WHEN DO WHAT BESPOKE MOBILE WEBSITE Try to avoid it but do it if necessary RESPONSIVE DESIGN The most device & future “proof” approach right now. Use if possible. But challenge content delivery. APP Base on user & business needs. Strong argument if you require offline reading/functionality & access to device capabilities. Base which type on objectives & stats.
- 83. www.flickr.com/photos/thecaucas/2597813380 FOR RESPONSIVE DEFINEYOUR GRID & BREAKPOINTS This is the backbone of responsive design & content choreography. DON’T FORGET THE NAVIGATION Consider the pros & cons of different methods. TEST & COLLABORATE This is new grounds & we’re all learning so work together & test as you go.
- 84. www.flickr.com/photos/thecaucas/2597813380 FOR APPS REMEMBER PLATFORM SPECIFIC GUIDELINES Adhering to them will make your app easier to use. CONSIDER BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY Not everyone will be on the latest version. Ensure you cater for the majority. CONSULT THE INTERNET There are a number of great resources for knowledge & inspiration.
