With the explosion of smartphones and tablets in a post-PC landscape, the importance of mobility is evident. Mobile devices can differ tremendously, from screen size to functionality and usability, making it impossible to optimize a website for a single device. Given the mobile shift, companies are looking to develop and execute on strategies that provide a first-class experience for all devices. How can SharePoint help? SharePoint is a powerful web content management platform – and it’s even better with the 2013 release. During the webinar, we demonstrated what can be accomplished using SharePoint 2013 and responsive web design. We also examined: - What is responsive web design? - SharePoint 2013’s WCM features - Responsive web design & SharePoint - Responsive SharePoint website examples

6. Responsive Design & SharePoint
What, Why and When?

7. What is Responsive Design?
―Responsive web design (RWD) is a web design approach aimed at crafting
sites to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation
with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of
devices (from mobile phones to desktop computer monitors).‖

8. In Other Words…
• Works well across browsers and form factors
o Desktop, tablet, phone
o IE, Safari, Chrome
• Resizing, scrolling, panning et cetera is minimized: Less
pinching and expanding
• Navigation is easy

9. The Big Question
Responsive Design (i.e., “HTML 5”) vs. Native Mobile Apps

10. Microsoft Provides Native Apps
• Yammer (WinPhone, iOS, Android)
• Office 365 (WinPhone, iOS, Android)
• SharePoint Newsfeed (WinPhone, iOS)
• OneNote (WinPhone, iOS)

15. Best Practices
What We’ve Learned About Doing it Right

16. Okay, but SharePoint?
SharePoint offers some useful out-of-the-box tools for
responsive designs and web content management (WCM):
• Variations
• Device channels
• Content by search

17. Okay, but SharePoint?
SharePoint offers some useful out-of-the-box (―OOB‖) tools for
responsive designs and web content management (WCM):
• Variations
• Device channels
• Content by Search
Generally, this isn’t enough for most designs. Thankfully…

18. Key Findings: #1
Incorporating a responsive design is easier in SharePoint
2013 than in previous versions.

19. Incorporating a responsive design is easier in SharePoint
2013 than in previous versions.
Why? HTML 5, cloud-friendly architecture = client-side
friendly.
Key Findings: #1

20. ―The FrontPage Effect‖:
As SharePoint adds its own HTML elements during
rendering, if the responsive design is not flexible, it will break.
Key Findings: #2

23. Responsive design can quickly get expensive depending upon:

• Which browsers need to be supported
• The design itself (animations, parallax scrolling, etc.)
• Device sizes (iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, etc.)
Key Findings: #3

25. Collaborating?
Think about how the ribbon elements will merge with the
design if it’s an authenticated site (i.e., requiring login –
most intranet and extranet scenarios) versus an anonymous
site (many public internet sites).
Key Findings: #4

PC / Internet Explorer, iPad (Safari iOS),
