s i v e ? R E S P O N S I V E • Shared customer experience across diﬀerent devices. • Share similar experiences across consumers, customer service reps, and in-store retailers. I also wrote labs.telus.com/blog/inside-the-lab/responding-to-the-new-mobile-landscape/

W h a t i s " m o b
i l e f i r s t " R E S P O N S I V E • Embrace changing usage contexts and devices. • Focus, focus, focus.

Me a s u r i n g s u
c c e s s R E S P O N S I V E • Call centre oﬄoad will save TELUS billions of dollars. • The less time a customer spends on the website, the more successful we can call it!

C S S m e d i a q u
e r i e s R E S P O N S I V E At the heart of responsive design is the media query: • Single:  @media ([feature property]: [value]) {  /* css */  } • Chained:  @media ([feature property]: [value]) and  ([another feature property]: [value]) {  /* css */  }

C S S m e d i a q u
e r i e s R E S P O N S I V E • iPhone-ish:  @media (max-‐width: 320px) {  img { max-‐width: 100%; }  } • iPad-ish:  @media (min-‐width: 321px) and (max-‐width: 768px) {  img { max-‐width: 60%; }  }

C o n t e n t v i e
w p o r t R E S P O N S I V E Important gotcha! Update your page's viewport: <html>  <head>  <meta name="viewport"   content="initial-‐scale=1.0, width=device-‐width">  </head>  </html>

c t u r e f i r s t I T E R AT I V E • Don't ﬁxate on details too early  — they will slow you down. • Get the base structure right ﬁrst  — it'll make everything else afterwards easier. • Set goals and learn from each step. • The less time you invest in something,   the easier it is to throw it away and start over.

1 . L o - f i p ro t
o t y p e s I T E R AT I V E Lo-ﬁdelity HTML & CSS prototypes

1 . L o - f i g o a
l s I T E R AT I V E • Structurally markup blocks of content. • Do proof of concepts of any interactive elements. • Time cap this HTML "sketching" period  — 1/2 a day or a full day should be enough.

1 . L o - f i w hy '
s I T E R AT I V E • Getting started is the hardest part! • Developers get involved with design process earlier. • Better time estimates. • User testers have something that is interactive for validation and feedback.

2 . H i - f i p ro t
o t y p e s I T E R AT I V E Hi-ﬁdelity HTML & CSS prototypes

2 . H i - f i g o a
l s I T E R AT I V E • Iterate on the lo-ﬁ prototypes and add visual elements from the comps. • Re-structure CSS and HTML more eﬃciently  (but code optimization not the point of this round.) • Prepare for backend integration.

2 . H i - f i w hy '
s I T E R AT I V E • Better designer/developer workﬂow. • No need to wait until designs are "ﬁnal" to start building. • Identify systems that need to be created/optimized  e.g. component libraries and framework

3 . P ro d u c t i o
n r e a d y I T E R AT I V E Same as hi-ﬁ prototypes but diﬀerent under the hood!

n g o a l s I T E R AT I V E • Wrap up all remaining dev tasks • Refactor and clean up code as per style guides, etc. • Do a pre-QA test such as making sure it's working on all target devices and speed/performance tests • Write unit tests and documentation.

n w hy ' s I T E R AT I V E • Better build quality since it's already gone through 2 rounds. • But  sometimes it's okay to launch rough code!
