  • Description:
    A paradigm has emerged where most people are walking around with powerful computers right in their pockets. Cellphones, and tablets have become the primary tools for many to access web content. Regardless if you’re on a desktop, tablet or cellphone, it is expected that the experience is seamless. So as an industry, how do we optimize the user experience across the multitude of devices, after we have been focused for so long on building solely for the desktop? In some cases, we build custom solutions, one for each iOS, Android, and yes, even for Windows phones. But let’s face it; this is not always an ideal method or the most lucrative solution.

    The answer? Using a technique that utilizes a single set of code that adapts to each scenario. It takes less time, it will save money, and Responsive Web Design (RWD) is its name.

    Join us on September 24th and learn about the experiences from three of the biggest names in the RWD game. Ethan Marcotte, Miranda Mulligan, and Matt Marquis, who will address their individual roles in the Boston Globe redesign, which is commonly referenced as the largest and most successful RWD project to date. These three experts represent the ‘three legged stool’, signifying the Business Manager’s, the Designer, and the Developers points of view; all of which need to play in perfect symphony, to realize a successful RWD project.
