Mobile first: it's no longer an option
Mobile is the new normal. It is no longer an option not to think about the mobile version of your website, in fact, you should start developing the mobile version ( mobile first ) and then add for tablet and pc.

Recent figures show that PC sales have continued to decline. It is not feasible to develop an iPhone app, an Android app and a Windows phone app. So the outcome is simple. A responsive website is the best solution.

Practical case: Floor van Riet on responsive web design
The expert session by Floor van Riet from Sabel Online ties in perfectly with where the previous keynote left off. Floor is going to talk to us about responsive web design . That is – in a nutshell – a hybrid version of a website that adapts to the device you are using to access the website.

Floor also outlines the past with us (one device, the PC, on which we were all designing for – who doesn't know it – the minimum resolution of 1024 x 768), the present (smartphones, tablets, laptops, PCs, smart TVs, game consoles) and the near future (iWatch, Google glasses and who knows, a 'smart' refrigerator or car).


The context has become very blurred in recent years. We always assumed that someone with a certain focus is sitting at a workplace with a fast internet connection behind a laptop with a keyboard and mouse.

Also at home on the couch with a smartphone or tablet
Not so long ago, a mobile version of a website was seen as a phase in which you are on the road, have little time and want to quickly find certain information (such as contact information). That is no longer the case. People are also sitting at home on the couch with a certain amount of attention and want to be able to do the things from their smartphone or tablet that they do from their laptop.

The starting point of responsive design is that you offer the same content, functionality and navigation to your users on any platform. Responsive design is a very sustainable technique that ensures poland phone data that you will be visible on multiple platforms next year.

From mobile first to content first
In web development projects we see a change that is increasingly in line with this. Where we used to walk to a customer with 'sticked signs' under our arms and coordinate everything in advance and then start a large 'project' with a beginning and an end, nowadays it is increasingly Agile. I certainly recognize this in practice.

The phase in which content is written also changes. Often, content is only developed when there are already screens, but you should actually think about this at an earlier stage. You have to think about which content you want to offer in which order (Floor calls this content choreography) and what that content looks like. A very interesting subject, which I could write an article about in itself, but which has also been discussed extensively in the article ' Responsive design, development and content in one flexible approach '.
