Where do you begin? g • y
j Project Planning g • The Path to Success requires: • Have a Project Manager • Has vision of needs and goals of project. • Make sure goals can be measured. • Site Map Architecture • What subsites and pages will you have? • Content Architecture • What shows up in each part of the site map? i.e. the Home page • Wireframe (Can be adjusted) • Mockup (NOT the same as a wireframe) • Build it • Test it in every browser possible
Site Map Example p p
Wireframes Created to get an idea of where general items will be placed for the mockup of the design. They can be adjusted later. NOT FINAL Balsamiq Just in Mind Visio Photoshop
Responsive Design g p p
Desktop View Tablet View Mobile View
Which is best for you? y Responsive Design: Uses CSS3 media queries and proportion-based grids. All elements continue to be shown as screen width changes. Adaptive Design: Uses CSS3 media queries to hide elements as screen width lessens. Progressive Enhancement: Design for the mobile view first, then add elements as the screen increases in width.
RWD Considerations Audience Positives Negatives Resources • Mobile Users • Desktop Users • One Masterpage that adapts to all devices. • Uses Fluid Grids • Uses HTML5/CSS3 Media Queries • Limited Overhead • Bandwidth • Wide Lists and Site Settings pages are not mobile friendly • Responsive Web Design by Ethan Marcottehttp://bit.ly/bcKwQS • Responsive Framework at CodePlexhttp://responsivesharepoint.codeplex.com • Configure SharePoint Server 2010 for Mobile Device Accesshttp://bit.ly/cg6Yo
