The Age of Responsive Design

We are at a critical nexus point in the history of web design: the web is finally coming of age with respect to increasing sophistication of the structure and presentation of visual information, the standardization of technologies to more easily create and display this information, physical devices that make this information easily accessible, and finally growing social connectivity. The confluence of these factors creates an improved platform and foundation upon which to start designing user interfaces that create user affinity by being beautiful, easy to use and delightful -- and responsive to various devices through which users access sites and applications.

In this session, we’ll explore just how far we’ve come since the beginning of the web and how leveraging newer technologies is changing the face of web design towards emotional, experience, and responsive design, and how the lastest platforms are redefining how we use and experience websites now, and what we will expect in the future. It’s time to examine what we consider the “standard” web or application user experience and discover ways to transform a good user interface and experience -- on any device -- into a great one.
