Designing Mobile Web Experiences
Each day, device manufacturers ship more than a million touch-screen phones enabling new ways for people to interact with the web. But when they get to your website or application, what kind of experience will people with these devices have? Will they be delighted by your mobile web experience or frustrated?
In this full-day session on web design best practices for mobile devices, Luke will detail how to think about and design for web organization, actions, inputs, and layout on mobile. Through lots of examples, you’ll learn how to:
- Use “content first/navigate second” organizational structures optimized for small screens and mobile use cases
- Design for increasingly prevalent touch interactions with appropriate targets and gestures
- Construct forms and input fields to make input on mobile easier and more pervasive
- Manage layouts across multiple devices with ruthless editing, device experiences, and responsive/flexible designs
- And more!
Armed with these design best practices and principles, you can make sure people have a great mobile Web experience whenever they visit your site.
This full-day session follows An Event Apart San Francisco and runs 9:00am - 4:00pm on Wednesday, November 14. You can register online and save over $100 when you sign up for both An Event Apart and Designing Mobile Web Experiences.
NOTE: The full-day session on Responsive Web Design is not a hands-on learning session or small-group workshop; upwards of 200 people typically attend A Day Apart.
