Rebuilding a University Homepage to be "Responsive." Twice. In Less than a Year.
102 C, Frontier Airlines Center
There's no doubt Responsive Web Design is a hot topic in the web community. You know you should be considering RWD, but where do you start? Is hacking your current site to make it "responsive" enough? What about "mobile first" and "RESS"? Should you hide content from your mobile visitors? What pitfalls can you expect throughout the process? In the past year, Notre Dame has faced and worked through all of these questions with two redesigns of ND.edu and numerous client projects. During this overview of RWD we'll cover terminology, approaches, best practices, the issues we faced while building a mobile-first ND.edu and the solutions we implemented.
