3. Responsive Web Design why? how? tips and techniques
4. Why responsive? and not native and not mobile site
5. Because with a responsive web site we provide support for all devices, including tablets, phones and tvs for all screen sizes for all browsers and because we love the "one site to rule them all" attitude
6. Responsive web design principles flexible layout (grid) media queries flexible media (images, videos, etc.)
7. Being pragmatic think different support as many devices/browsers your budget allows solve problems with simple solutions
8. First things first think out of the box, think responsivly forget pixel-perfection layout (wireframe it) forget colors, images, logos etc. prototype it (browser-ready protype)
9. Mobile first mobile first content? mobile first styles Question : why mobile first?
10. Set your major and minor break points the first break point is the no "break point" primary (mobile first) styles set break points where your content needs adjusting phones (320/480) tablets (768/1024) (small) desktop (1024) (large) desktop (1200 and over)
11. Set your major and minor break points @ m e d i a o n l y s c r e e n a n d ( m i n - w i d t h : 4 8 0 p x ) { } @ m e d i a o n l y s c r e e n a n d ( m i n - w i d t h : 7 6 8 p x ) { } @ m e d i a o n l y s c r e e n a n d ( m i n - w i d t h : 1 0 2 4 p x ) { } @ m e d i a o n l y s c r e e n a n d ( m i n - w i d t h : 1 2 0 0 p x ) { }
12. Question : does it make sense to create a break point (and make adjustments) for every known device?
13. CSS : Flexible layout The % way do the right math (target ÷ context = result) flexible margin / paddings tip: use % for fonts as well # c o n t a i n e r { w i d t h : 1 0 0 % ; m a x - w i d t h : 1 2 0 0 p x ; } # m a i n { f l o a t : l e f t ; w i d t h : 7 5 % ; } / * 9 0 0 / 1 2 0 0 * / # s i d e b a r { f l o a t : r i g h t ; w i d t h : 2 5 % ; } / * 3 0 0 / 1 2 0 0 * / # m a i n { f l o a t : l e f t ; w i d t h : 7 1 . 6 6 6 6 6 6 % ; / * 8 6 0 / 1 2 0 0 * / p a d d i n g : 1 . 6 6 6 6 6 6 % ; / * 2 0 / 1 2 0 0 * / }
14. CSS : Flexible layout The em way same as above, but with ems how much is 1em? tip: use ems for fonts as well 1 e m = 1 0 0 % f r o m 1 6 p x = 1 6 p x 1 . 5 e m = 1 5 0 % f r o m 1 6 p x = 2 4 p x 0 . 5 e m = 5 0 % f r o m 1 6 p x = 8 p x
15. CSS : Flexible media i m g { m a x - w i d t h : 1 0 0 % ; } i m g , o b j e c t , e m b e d , v i d e o { m a x - w i d t h : 1 0 0 % ; } i m g { m a x - w i d t h : 1 0 0 % ; h e i g h t : a u t o ! i m p o r t a n t ; / * j u s t i n c a s e , t o f o r c e c o r r e c t a s p e c t r a t i o * / } i m g { - m s - i n t e r p o l a t i o n - m o d e : b i c u b i c ; } / * I E s c a l i n g f i x * / fluid images from unstoppable robot ninja post fitvids.js
16. CSS : The rest set a good base (typography, colors, helpers, etc.) use CSS preprocessors (SASS, LESS, etc.) normalize
17. Markup use HTML5 take control be nice to IE6-8 use or < m e t a n a m e = " v i e w p o r t " c o n t e n t = " w i d t h = d e v i c e - w i d t h , i n i t i a l - s c a l e = 1 " / > < m e t a h t t p - e q u i v = " X - U A - C o m p a t i b l e " c o n t e n t = " I E = e d g e , c h r o m e = 1 " > html5shiv modernizr respond.js
18. Markup Easy mobile-friendly enchantments Tel: SMS: iPhone/iPad icon: < a h r e f = " t e l : + 3 0 6 9 4 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 " > + 3 0 6 9 4 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 < / a > < a h r e f = " s m s : + 3 0 6 9 4 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 " > + 3 0 6 9 4 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 < / a > < l i n k r e l = " a p p l e - t o u c h - i c o n " s i z e s = " 5 7 x 5 7 " h r e f = " t o u c h - i c o n - i p h o n e - 1 1 4 . p n g " / >
19. Markup Easy mobile-friendly inputs < ! - - D e f a u l t K e y b o a r d - - > < i n p u t t y p e = " t e x t " / > < ! - - N u m e r i c K e y b o a r d - - > < i n p u t t y p e = " n u m b e r " / > < ! - - P a t t e r n K e y b o a r d - - > < i n p u t p a t t e r n = " [ 0 - 9 ] * " t y p e = " t e x t " / > < ! - - N u m b e r K e y b o a r d - - > < i n p u t t y p e = " t e l " / > < ! - - U R L K e y b o a r d - - > < i n p u t t y p e = " u r l " / > < ! - - e - m a i l K e y b o a r d - - > < i n p u t t y p e = " e m a i l " / >
