BUT WHY?” Today's popular devices are
not tomorrow's so building something which works on any
device is better than building something which works on
today's devices “- COMBINED WISE WORDS FROM @ONEXTRAPIXEL &

• IF THERE ARE SPECIFIC DEVICE CAPABILITIES YOU WANT TO UTILISE
• IF OFFLINE READING/USAGE IS REQUIRED
• & OF COURSE BUDGET
DIFFERENT TYPES OF APPSTHE MAIN TWO TYPES
NATIVE APPS (e.g. Instagram)
• MOST OPTIMISED USER EXPERIENCE• ACCESS TO DEVICE CAPABILITIES & APIs• BUT REQUIRES PLATFORM SPECIFIC CODE BASE
HYBRID (e.g. First Facebook)
• USE OF HTML5 & JAVASRIPT• WRAPPER TO PROVIDE NATIVE CAPABILITIES• FEWER “VERSIONS” TO MAINTAIN• BUT CAN BE TIME CONSUMING TO CREATE APP LIKE INTERACTIONS• CAN'T JUST BE WRAPPED. MUST HAVE APP LIKE FUNCTIONALITIES

4. THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED... RESPONSIVE DESIGN
www.flickr.com/photos/adactio/5818096043
“ Design & development should respond to the user’s behaviour & environment based on screen size, platform & orientation. [It’s]...a mix of flexible grids & layouts, images & an intelligent use of media queries. ”- SMASHING MAGAZINE
http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/layout.php
DEFINE YOUR GRID & BREAK POINTS• USE AS THE BASIS OF
YOUR PAGE LAYOUTS
• CHECKPOINT FOR MODULE SIZES & VARIANTS
• FIXED OR FLUID COLUMNS
• DEFINES HOW CONTENT WILL BEHAVE ACROSS DEVICES
“ Content needs to be choreographed to ensure the intended message is preserved
on any device and at any width ”- TRENT WALTONwww.flickr.com/photos/theaftershock/2811382400/

NAVIGATION BAREnables navigation through the app hierarchy. Holds the back button, controls for managing screen content & the title of the screen.
BACK BUTTONShould always take the user one step back from where they came from & be descriptive.
TAB BARCan often be customised. Holds the main sections of the app.
‘MORE’ TAB BAR ITEMUsed to hold & provide access to all other sections of the app that don’t fit in the tab bar.

NAVIGATION BARFor devices that don't have the hardware keys. Holds 'Back', 'Home' and 'Recents'
ACTION BARHolds the most important action buttons for your app (3 + overflow menu)
UP VS. BACK BUTTONThe Up button is used to navigate up one level based on the hierarchical structure of the site.
Back is used to navigate back one step from where you came from & as such works in reverse chronological order.

DEVICE USAGE & PATTERNSFUTURE DEVICESThe number of different devices will only grow & we don’t know what’s coming.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 DEVICESOur use of mobile devices is increasingly replicating that of desktop.
www.flickr.com/photos/thecaucas/2597813380
IMPLICATIONS FOR UX & DESIGN THINKINGAN EQUAL & CONTINUOUS EXPERIENCE ACROSS DEVICESAs they & the services we use become more sophisticated & optimised we expect more from them.KEEP THE CORE BUT OPTIMISEConsider the limitations but also the opportunities with mobile devices.

WHEN DO WHATBESPOKE MOBILE WEBSITETry to avoid it but do it if necessaryRESPONSIVE DESIGNThe most device & future “proof ” approach right now. Use if possible. But challenge content delivery.APPBase on user & business needs. Strong argument if you require offline reading/functionality & access to device capabilities. Base which type on objectives & stats.
www.flickr.com/photos/thecaucas/2597813380
FOR RESPONSIVEDEFINE YOUR GRID & BREAKPOINTSThis is the backbone of responsive design & content choreography.DON’T FORGET THE NAVIGATIONConsider the pros & cons of different methods.TEST & COLLABORATEThis is new grounds & we’re all learning so work together & test as you go.
www.flickr.com/photos/thecaucas/2597813380
FOR APPSREMEMBER PLATFORM SPECIFIC GUIDELINESAdhering to them will make your app easier to use.CONSIDER BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITYNot everyone will be on the latest version. Ensure you cater for the majority.CONSULT THE INTERNETThere are a number of great resources for knowledge & inspiration. Use them.
