Book description
Create Web Designs That Work Perfectly on Any
Device—Simply and Beautifully!
Billions of people access the web via smartphones, tablets, and
devices of all types, using every imaginable interface and display.
But they all want the same thing: the right information, right now,
delivered in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible. Give
them what they want with Responsive Mobile
Design.
Whether you’re a developer, designer, or manager, Phil Dutson
teaches you principles, techniques, and best practices for
delivering a successful experience to all users on all
devices.
Dutson shows how to design sites that are responsive “from
the start,” while keeping development simple and flexible.
Next, he delivers complete technical know-how for transforming
responsive designs into responsive sites. You’ll find
coverage of key issues such as integrating media content,
optimizing performance, and serving Retina or high-density
displays.
Throughout, he combines detailed and practical explanations with
functional, easy-to-reuse code snippets.
Coverage includes
• Demonstrating why “mobile
first” is still a best practice
• Fusing content, structure, and beauty to
deliver experiences users love
• Using responsive images to improve speed
and convey visual messages more effectively
• Using grid systems without making it feel
like your design is “locked in a box”
• Mastering measurement values such as px,
em, rem, and viewport units—and understanding their crucial
differences
• Improving the finer details of your
design with web fonts
• Retrofitting current websites to prepare
them for the future
• Introducing web components into your HTML
markup
• Using built-in browser development tools
to streamline debugging and “in-browser”
prototyping
