Hello, I’m Simon
I ❤ Making websites
I like to do the front-end of my own designs.
Especially when it comes to responsive websites. Because so many design decisions have to be made in the browser.

(responsive) webdesign
Andy Clarke http://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/ Web design is responsive design. Responsive Web
Design is web design, done right.
In case you haven’t noticed, mobile is growing! ‐
Sollutions • native app • web app • mobile version
• responsive webdesign
It depends.
I ❤ apps
I ☠ mobile sites
I ☠ being redirected.
Via, tweets, Facebook, bookmark, RSS readers, ...
http://cnet.co/A3PWiW The problem is that this redirect is so stupid
that rather than figure out what you wanted to see, it just puts you at the mobile site's home page and thinks it's doing you a favor. At that point, whether you coded your site in native or HTML5 has no bearing. I can't see what I wanted to see.
And what if a user actually sees your regular site
on a mobile device?
Please don’t click here to go to the full site.
↺ The other way around.

Ethan Marcotte Our sites are accessed by an increasing array
of devices and browsers, and our users deserve a quality experience no matter how large (or small) their display.
It doesn't matter whether you have an app or a
mobile version. If you have a website, users should be abble to access it through any device. So optimize it.
Think responsively.

What is it not? • Hiding content • display: none
David (TheLeggett) Leggett http://www.uxbooth.com/blog/considerations-for-mobile-design-part-2-dimensions/ The most reasonable case for omitting
objects from a mobile site is when the object wasn’t essential to the desktop site in the first place.
The new road To enlightment.

♛ Content is king
IA • Gather content • organization of content
Rethink • Header • Navigation • Search bar • Call

Some tips from our IA’s • Avoid subnavigation • Overview
pages • Eliminate all unnecassary stuff • Counts as much for desktop

Designing in the browser
3. Content organisation before design 2. A static image doesn’t
feel like a real page 1. The browser is our canvas

Ethan Marcotte alistapart.com Responsive webdesign consists of three components: a
fluid grid, fluid media and media queries
Fluid vs fixed Responsive vs adaptive
fluid, responsive http://dropmark.com/

the available space 2. Maximum width defined once 1. Page adapts to every possible resolution

CSS3 media queries
Media queries • Check for certain conditions • Apply different
styles • Usually width • Height, orientation, pixel-ratio, ... • Breakpoints
A breakpoint is the size (usually the width) at which
the layout starts to look broken, at which point a new layout is applied.
Common breakpoints • 320px (first generation smartphones portrait) • 480px
(first generation smartphones landsape) • 600px (iphone 4 portrait, kindle fire) • 768px (tablet portrait) • 960px (tablet landscape, old computers) • 1200px and up (modern computers, TV's, projectors)
Long live natural responsive web design breakpoints.
Mark Drummond http://marcdrummond.com/responsive-web-design/2011/12/29/default- breakpoints-are-dead Use awkwardness as your guideline, not
ephemeral default device widths.
http://responsivepx.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=kYpENMubJKQ
Mobile first Basic CSS is defined before the first breakpoint.
Mobile first • Typography • link colors • background colors
• margins • ...
This way the simplest version is served first so less
capable devices still serve a usable readable website.
Progressive enhancement Enhancement to the presentation and behavior of the
page.
This is my grid. There are many like it, but
this one is mine. My grid is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Fluid design formula: (target ÷ context) x 100 = result

Content should be available to as many people as possible.
The device should never be an obstacle between the user
and their goal.
