Responsive Web Design Part2

Test it straight away:
As soon as you have created your first wire frame test it on the relevant device straight away. It’s easy to get the image on a simple web page and take a look at how it looks and feels to scroll down. This will let you know early on if your wire frame is working. Testing in this way gave us clues really early on what was and wasn’t working. If you look at this wire frame you should quickly see our first issue. Adding the tablet and mobile versions to your user testing process will give you a lot of useful feedback too. Now that your wire frames are created, tested, amended and approved it’s time to make them look good for all your screen widths. It isn’t necessary to create visuals for every wire frame. The main objective is to cover all the styles that will be required to create the HTML and CSS. There will be a little bit of a crossover for wire frames and visuals, some styles that will be required for the mobile where there wasn’t a need for an initial wire frame. Styling the page: Think about keeping your styles simpler for your mobile version—what’s great about CSS3 is that you don’t need lots of images to get great styled effects, but these still take a bit of time to load.

Thinking about font : Make sure your font sizes are going to be readable on each device. They’ll have to be much larger on the mobile device to ensure readability.

The impact of image sizes : The site will need to load in the full size images even if the CSS scales them down, so try to keep image sizes as low as possible. There can be some nifty JavaScript tricks though to make the site run smoother. On this site we initially loaded in the smallest image size, and then used JavaScript to decide if a larger image was then needed.

Use advanced CSS : It’s important to get the client behind the idea of using advanced CSS styles, allowing the site styles to degrade as the browser capability does. This lets you keep site loading times low Constant communication is required: The project will always go smoother if the team speak to each other, so from both designer and developer it’s good to discuss problems and solutions as soon as they turn up.

So what does all this mean?
If you are thinking about convincing your client to have their new site designed and developed in a responsive way, firstly you should consider if it really is the right solution for them, then you’ll need to be able to persuade them of the benefits and communicate that it will add more time to the project. But, I do believe that this is how more sites will be developed in the future.

Mobile View: 

In Web view the main menu which I underline in red color, it will be change in mobile point of view. See the Above example of mobile screen. I am not saying every site looks like this; it’s one of the way to present the menu navigation in mobile screen.

See the Below Examples of Homepages in web and mobile view….
