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 &

BASIC iOS NAVIGATIONCONSISTENT ACROSS VERSIONS

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.

ANDROID NAVIGATIONDIFFERENT BETWEEN VERSIONS. IN ICE CREAM SANDWICH:

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.

MODULAR DESIGNTHE TASK:You've been asked to develop a responsive site for a small furniture store for summer. They sell indoor tables (dinner, kitchen, sofa tables) as well as outdoor tables. They are an independent store and want to inform users about their store.

Identify a number (not all) main content modules you’d imagine that the site would need and define them for smartphone and desktop.

GUIDING PRINCIPLESMOBILE DEVICES ARE USED ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE

A LARGE PROPORTION OF USAGE HAPPENS WHEN WE HAVE TIME TO KILL

THE SAME TASKS ARE CARRIED OUT ON SMARTPHONES AS ON DESKTOPS

USERS INCREASINGLY EXPECT AN EQUAL & CONTINUOS EXPERIENCE ACROSS DEVICES

CORE CONTENT SHOULD REMAIN THE SAME BUT THE EXPERIENCE SHOULD BE OPTIMISED

COMMON PROBLEMSNUMBER OF WIREFRAMESDEPENDS ON YOUR PROJECT, BUDGET & TEAM AS WELL AS WHO IS BUILDING IT

VISUAL DESIGNLESS STATIC DESIGNS, MORE MODULARITY & PROTOTYPING

SCREENSIZES & BREAKPOINTSUSE ANALYTICS FOR GUIDANCE & DESIGN FOR THE MOST COMMON ONES

WHAT TO TEST ONAS MANY AS POSSIBLE BUT PRIORITISE BASED ON YOUR AUDIENCE

IMAGES & ICONSAS FLEXIBLE AS POSSIBLE

CONTENT STRATEGY & HIERARCHY KNOW YOUR CONTENTPRIORITISE WHAT & HOW MUCH BUT KEEP THE CORE CONTENT THE SAME

CONSIDER THE MOBILE CONTEXTADAPT TO LAYOUT, INTERACTION AND CONTENT PRIORITY & PRESENTATION

DEFINE CONTENT STACKINGTHE GRID & BREAKPOINTS IS YOUR GUIDE BUT DON'T JUST WORK WITH THE COLUMNS. CONSIDER EACH MODULE & THE STORY OF THE PAGE

RESPONSIVE NAVIGATIONRESEARCH DIFFERENT APPROACHESKNOW YOUR OPTIONS & THE PROS & CONS FOR EACH

BASE IT ON YOUR PROJECTASSESS HOW MANY LEVELS THAT ARE NEEDED & REVIEW APPROACH ACROSS DEVICES BUT ALSO WHAT GOES IN

WORK WITH DIFFERENT TYPESIT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE MAIN NAVIGATION BUT ALSO SUB-NAVIGATION, SEARCH, IN PAGE LINKS & THE FOOTER

BE CONSISTENTUSE SAYING VISUAL CUES & CONSIDER NAVIGATION ACROSS ALL PRODUCTS

TESTING APPS & RESPONSIVE SITESTESTING APPSBOTH STRUCTURE, NAVIGATION, INTERACTIONS & TRANSITIONS

TESTING RESPONSIVE SITESDO THIS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE IT ACTUALLY WORKS IN THE BROWSER

TESTING IN THE BROWSERBY RESIZING THE BROWSER WINDOW OR DESIGNING & CREATING PROTOTYPES

USING EMULATORSALLOWS YOU TO VIEW HOW YOUR SITE IS DISPLAYED ACROSS DEVICES & ORIENTATIONS

TESTING APPS & RESPONSIVE SITESON ACTUAL DEVICESTEST ON AS MANY AS POSSIBLE. THE BEST REPRESENTATION BUT CAN BE EXPENSIVE. INVEST IN KEY DEVICES & POOL TOGETHER TO SHARE DEVICES

TESTING WITH USERSTEST EARLY & FREQUENTLY. DEFINE YOUR AUDIENCE, TEST CASES, OBJECTIVES & IDENTIFY SPECIFIC CROSS DEVICE SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS & LIMITATIONS
