Mobile vs Desktop Traffic

"There’s a plethora of devices out there with widely differing abilities – it’s never been more confusing or challenging to create brilliant interfaces that work across them all.” ~ Jeffery Zeldman


Screen Size

Functionality

Usability

How All Devices Differ


What AboutMobile Apps?


SharePoint Mobile Apps

Freely Available:

SharePoint Newsfeed App

Skydrive Pro App


Third Party:

SharePlus by Infragistics's

Briefcase by Colligo

Mobile Entrée by H3 Solutions

Filamente Mobile SharePoint

App

And more…

Apps and RWD serve different

purposes


Apps -> particular function

Mobile Collaboration

Mobile Document Sharing / Offline Viewing

RWD -> general site / portal

Mobile Friendly Website

Planning ForResponsive

Design@EricOverfield - pixelmill.com

Our Responsive Goals

Single site

Serve a variety of Viewports

And tailored to each viewport


Future Friendly

(i.e. no separate mobile)

Responsive Drawbacks

Desktop vs. Mobile content

Content order


Maybe SharePoint can help?

Device Channels

A lot more work

Start with Content


Mobile First

Information

Architecture

Content Rollups

Search Driven Content

Content is King@EricOverfield - pixelmill.com

Navigation

Responsive Navigation the most difficult decision

SharePoint Navigation is not Responsive friendly


SharePoint relies on hover event / unfriendly HTML

Static Navigation vs. SharePoint Navigation

note: Custom Responsive Navigation will require

JS/jQuery

Off Canvas

jQuery or no jQuery


Time toCode it Up


Frameworks

Pre-Built Responsive and Fluid Grids

Saves time and resources


Many include extras

i.e. Collapsing navigation

Framework Drawbacks

May take time to learn framework

Not always SharePoint friendly


Might not be the way “you” would do

it

But - can save a bunch of time

Twitter Bootstrap

Zurb Foundation

Skeleton

Less Framework

SharePoint and Responsive DesignPush NotificationsLet’s See a ComparisonResponsive Frameworks and SharePoint


http://responsivesharepoint.codeplex.com/

Mobile First

Build Mobile interface first

Forces us to concentrate on content

Helps control some resources


Mobile Interface not great for entering content

May not be preferable with some development

processes

Not IE7/IE8 friendly

Mobile First In Action


Mobile First and IE8 / IE7

Will only load mobile view


Fix with CSS Media Queries

JS Library: http://pxml.ly/zcw2jb2

So we need to use JS?

Or an IE8- stylesheet

Build to the Designnot the Device


Become Device Independent

Base breakpoints based on design

Allows for any device

Use a background image to help


Temporary background image with columns

Start with 300 pixel block

Then 50 to 100 pixel columns through 1200 pixels

total

SharePoint 2013 Helps


Device Channels

New to SharePoint 2013

Interfaces tailored and maps to specific device(s)

Custom Master Pages per Channel

Custom DeviceChannelPanels

Change the order of content!


Device Channels – An Example


Eric’s Practical Tips to #SPRWD

Start with a framework


Mobile first (most likely)

Set your project expectations accordingly

Test your design on primary devices/browsers

Be sure you are very comfortable with CSS/HTML

Don’t stop learning

(Responsive

SharePoint?)

Build towards

progressPerfection does not yet

exist

There is no silver bullet
