more slices = more distributed IT
Table-based layouts were awesome! ucsd.edu 1995-2006
Oooh…CSS & JavaScript ucsd.edu 2006 - 2012
This was a game changer
People love these things
In about 2 months… …there will be more connected phones
than people in the world
5 years ago, the iPhone didn’t exist… …now it generates
$100 Billion per year
The iPhone is bigger than
more tablets will be sold than PC’s
How did we respond in higher ed?

One of them wrote and article that started a buzz…
The dude even wrote a book about it!
.HTML (structure) .CSS (layout) The solution is based off existing
web technologies
CSS3 @media + Fluid Layouts Media Queries
Fluid images & media

What about the Mobile Web Framework?
You want me to make THIS responsive??

Responsive design for Websites & Apps Mobile Framework when RWD
won’t work

Retrofit existing design? Going Responsive, what are your options? Create
new designs?
Pros…. Reduces approval workflow Little or no change for desktop
users Already familiar with the code Retrofit existing site…
Cons…. No “mobile first” design Elements designed without scaling in
mind Unable to leverage frameworks Retrofit existing site…
Pros…. Can leverage a framework Plan for how elements work
at different breakpoints Likely a faster user experience Create new designs…
Cons…. Changing design many need more approvals Need to learn
something new Create new designs…
Make sure your design looks good in all resolutions Add
breakpoints when the design starts to break down
fluid layouts using percentages Responsive Design fixed width layouts targeted
for specific devices Adaptive Design
None
What if all my content isn’t responsive? Is that OK?
Sure Tackle the biggest bang or low hanging fruit first
Be ready to iterate Adjust development cycles to be agile
Does it take more time? Yes. It will increase the
length of a project by 32.6345%
There is no more “fold” Work with content owners to
pair down content
Will another technique replace RWD? At some point, probably.
Downsides
Tables some solutions available but no magic bullets
Images Devices with smaller resolutions still need to download the
full image
RESS Responsive Design + Server Side Components Offload some of
the work to the server…
The Idea is to: Deliver certain components based on the
device, rather than loading all at once for every device. RWD .js .jpg .php

1.‐ Use a Responsive Web Design framework as the primary
way to deliver websites & web apps 2.‐ Use a Mobile Framework to augment when responsive design won’t work 3.‐Deliver the frameworks through a central host and allow other IT units to leverage the capabilities 4.‐ Finally…
