Recently, two of us got to go to DrupalCon Denver<\/a>. There were a lot of other drupalista’s there:<\/p>\n

\"DrupalCon<\/a><\/p>\n

We saw all sorts of sessions, but the one that stuck with me the most was Luke Wroblewski<\/a>‘s keynote address on the last day. He gave a talk on the importance of Mobile First Development<\/a>. You can (and should!) watch the full presentation at the his site, but here’s the thing that hit me hardest.<\/p>\n

When you’re developing for mobile devices, you lose 80% of your screen size. That means you need to focus your pages on your core mission. Here’s the example he used, from Southwest’s website:<\/p>\n

\"Southwest's<\/a>Whereas here’s their exact same website, viewed on a (pretend) iPhone:<\/p>\n

\"Southwest's<\/a>Flickr does something similar. Here’s their site on the desktop:<\/p>\n

\"Flickr's<\/a>And once again, here’s their site on a (pretend) iPhone:<\/p>\n

\"Flickr's<\/a>In each case the mobile website shows only the things you most want to do – buy a ticket, check in, upload photos, and seeing photos taken nearby you, which is hard to do on a regular old computer. The sites are, in many ways, actually providing a better experience than the normal desktop website, and are sometimes even providing capacities that can’t be found on a desktop.<\/p>\n

We’re super excited to be committed to a mobile first approach, and are pumped from a week of learning all the latest and greatest things about Drupal. Plus, we learned that next year’s DrupalCon will be in our own backyard<\/a> (be sure to resize their site and to try scrolling it some to see some awesome css\/html5 effects!).<\/p>\n
