A Wijs-example: paths to conversion

First...responsive design?

OMG! We’re still arguing about this?

‣ one back-end to update

‣ one development cost (higher?)

‣ future ready (throw them devices at me!)

‣ browser-based (serendipity)

‣ no install

‣ SEO! E-mail! Social!

‣ coolness...

Why responsive design?

‣ daily appliciation

‣ device capabilities

‣ performance

Why not?

We’re still learning.

1. Think content first

‣ photos of bands and artists are central

‣ we started with 1500px

‣ design is based on aspect ratio of photos

‣ content boxes are responsive in width and height

1. Think content first

content>design>technology

‣ navigation: not the usual hierarchy

‣ fly-outs, hover: big no no!

‣ contextual navigation

‣ starts from content

1. Think content first

2. Think design first

‣ breakpoints are essential

‣ you can’t build for all current and future devices

‣ test if design works, not if devices work

2. Think design first

‣ 5 breakpoints: 480px, 600px, 770px, 980px, 1200px

‣ 480px, 770px, 980px: current popular devices

‣ 600px, 1200px: make it future proof

Breakpoints

‣ if possible: move away from rough breakpoints

‣ gradual shifts

‣ make it future proof

Breakpoints

design testing>device testing

3. Think mobile first

‣ start with touch

‣ navigation and interaction is designed for touch first

‣ information architecture is designed for mobile first

‣ build up to tablet and to desktop

‣ big typography and buttons, made for thumbs

3. Think mobile first

‣ avoid typing where possible

‣ think touch first

3. Think mobile first

4. Think conversion first

‣ bottom line: sell tickets...

‣ typography is responsive: font size changes with screen size

‣ ‘buy tickets’ button stays big

4. Think conversion first

‣ think thumbs

‣ what is the natural stance of your hands on smartphone/tablets?

4. Think conversion first

5. Think retina first

‣ build HD-ready (retina)

‣ all logos and icons are vector based

‣ scales beautifully on all resolutions

5. Think retina first

6. Think back-end first

‣ responsive images: different image size vs. screen size

‣ back-end: one interface

‣ images are scaled automatically

6. Think back-end first

1. Think content first

2. Think design first

3. Think mobile first

4. Think conversion first

5. Think retina first

6. Think back-end first

6 key learnings

Good luck!
