PLAN & DESIGN
KNOW What A Responsive WebSITE is
A fluid layout and flexible images adapted with media queries
Responsive vs. Adaptive
A fluid grid layout
Additional changes applied with Media Queries
Multiple fixed width layouts
Layout changes at set breakpoints (with Media Queries)
MISUSe the TERM
Mobile users are not just “on the go”
Many people have mobile devices as their primary internet access
The lines between mobile/tablet/desktop are becoming blurred
Alternative to native mobile apps
LIMIT MOBILE CONTENT
Do a content audit and prioritization before any layout or design
Prioritize Content
... but you don’t HAVE to develop mobile first
Consider:
If it isn’t needed on mobile, is it even
needed on desktop???
Think “mobile first”
USE HTML wireframes
http://foundation.zurb.com Example
.....
BANISH PHOTOSHOP
expect pixel-perfect matching code
Design with dev in mind
Pay attention to order and flow
Limit large or complex graphics
Know what CSS can do
Create a style Guide
• Show available design elements
• Code modular HTML/CSS building blocks
• Include baseline typography, UI elements
(buttons, form constructs, etc)
• Easier to test and improve workflow between
multiple team members

<div class=”row”> <div id="ContentPane" runat="server" class=”col two-third” /> <div id="SmallRightPane" runat="server" class=”col third” /></div><div class=”row”> <div id="LeftPane" runat="server" class=”col half” /> <div id="RightPane" runat="server" class=”col half” /></div>
Use a fluid grid
.half { width: 50%; }
.third { width: 33.333333333333%;}
.two-third { width: 66.66666666667%;}
.fourth { width: 25%; }
.three-fourth{ width: 75%; }
.fifth { width: 20%; }
.two-fifth { width: 40%; }
.three-fifth { width: 60%; }
.four-fifth { width: 80%; }
.col { padding: 10px; float: left; box-sizing: border-box; }
Use a fluid grid
New box model:
Padding & border subtracted from width/height
box-sizing: border-box
Use the new box model
Standard box model:
Padding & border added on to the width/height
box-sizing: border-box
#LeftColumn { padding: 10px 20px;! -moz-box-sizing:border-box; -webkit-box-sizing:border-box;! box-sizing:border-box; }#RightColumn { padding: 10px;! -moz-box-sizing:border-box; -webkit-box-sizing:border-box;! box-sizing:border-box; border: 1px solid #627A7E; }IE Polyfill: (Natively supported in IE8+)https://github.com/Schepp/box-sizing-polyfill
Set fixed-width spacing
DO a lot of math
Widths set with percentage are relative to their container element
#ContentLeft { float: left; width: 60%; padding-right: 40px; box-sizing: border-box; }
#ContentRight { float: left; width: 40%; box-sizing: border-box; }
Keep it simple
Media queries serve different CSS based on your browser size or type.
In your Skin CSS file, define regular (desktop)
styles, then:
• @media (max-width: 900px) { }• @media (max-width: 720px) { }• @media (max-width: 480px) { }• @media (max-width: 320px) { }
use media queries
Or, go “mobile first”:
• @media (min-width: 480px) { }• @media (min-width: 720px) { }• Etc…
Better for performance!
use media queries
USE pre-determined, Specific breakpoints
Set breakpoints when you need them!
@media only works in IE 9 +
• Javascript polyfill for IE 8 and below:
– https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond
– Adds support for media queries set with
min-width/max-width• For wider media query support:
– http://code.google.com/p/css3-mediaqueries-js
• Or use conditional comments to link to IE CSS
use browser fallbacks
• html { font-size: 62.5%; }
• body { font-size: 14px; font-size: 1.4rem; }
• h1 { font-size: 24px; font-size: 2.4rem; }
• Can change body size % in @media to adjust all site fonts
set font sizes with rem’s
Fittextjs.com: for text headlines that dynamically fit the width of its surrounding element.
create scalable headlines
USE ICON FONTS
Always crisp, no pixelization or multiple
image sizes needed
Easily change size, color, and shadows
using CSS
IcoMoon.io Pictos.cc MORE (css-tricks.com/flat-icons-icon-fonts)
Ensure media does not break outside of set container:
• img, object, embed, iframe, video { max-width:100%; }
Set media max-widths
Do not set height or width of images or media in the DNN editor
Do not upload media larger than the maximum size that you want it to display
set inline media sizes
Fitvidsjs.com: for fluid width video embeds
create scalable video
display:none
• Hide unnecessary content for mobile
• Add mobile only content with display:none in the regular CSS
Use Sparingly! Don’t limit content
OVERuse display:none
Important Note:display:none hides content but (generally) does not improve performance!
Hiding images:Setting parent element to display:none will prevent the image from being loaded.
OVERuse display:none
Menu modules that use unordered lists can be made responsive<nav> <ul> <li><a href="/”>Home</a></li> <li><a href="/About.aspx">About</a> <ul> <li><a href=”/About/Bio.aspx”>Bio</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="/Speaking.aspx">Speaking</a></li> <li><a href="/Contact.aspx">Contact</a></li> </ul> </nav>

1. RESIZE & REposition (aka “do NOTHING”)
1. RESIZE & REposition
What a horizontal unordered list will naturally do
Can hide submenu dropdowns (If accessible elsewhere)
• nav ul li ul { display:none; }
Use media queries to shrink fonts and margins before, or to avoid, breaking to multiple lines
Tutorial: http://designshack.net/articles/css/code-a-responsive-navigation-menu
1. RESIZE & REposition
When to use it?
Submenus don’t need to be accessed
Items will fit on one or two lines

4. Toggle menu button
Regular CSS: .show-mobile { display: none; }CSS to show the button and hide the menu for mobile: @media (max-width: 768px) {! ! nav .show-mobile { display: block; } nav ul {! display: none; } }
jQuery for the menu toggle: <script>! ! jQuery(".show-mobile").click(function () { jQuery("nav ul").toggle("fast");! }); <script>
