Mobile app users are a different breed. They go to mobile apps for different reasons than websites. In sum, they want a faster, concentrated, and more convenient experience. However, since smartphone screens have limited space, it’s not really feasible to include an expansive menu or set of filters to aid in the navigation of an app.

This post is important and valuable on two fronts. First we all need to start thinking MOBILE FIRST and that is a very different way to think. Second the great list of new to me tools is worth a scan and test.

![How Responsive Web Design Works [Infographic] | Must Design | Scoop.it](https://img.scoop.it/5fsHa4eLiyWsI6RKVn4v8jl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVvK0kTmF0xjctABnaLJIm9)
This infographic illustrates what responsive web design is, how it works, and why you should make the switch.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:
Responsive Web Design * Move from novels to linked snippets. * Rely on tags (tags are about to be HUGE because they create new dimensions into the data). * Can open a site's content for social (reduce distance between THEM [customers] and US [site creators / managers]). * Create clear meta data (goes with connected snippets). That last bullet puts stress on current database thinking and tech. With this many windows into the same data a developer must know about how to cononicalize a URL (or the dupe penalties will be crushing). Responsive websites become an evolving puzzle. As new pieces get created they must fit the existing framework or blow the whole thing up. That said, I don't see any way BUT thinking mobile first from here on out. In the end that is going to be a good thing for all of us, but transitioning is a bear :). Marty

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:
Great work by Simon Collision (@Colly). Picks up for me on slide 17. 2. Standardize production. 3. Experiment and synthesize. 4. Form follows function. 5. Economy and simplicity. 2. Develop systems. 3. Holistic web design approach (slide 32 what's golden important). . 4. Mass production and individual expression. 5. Adapt and respond to an evolving world. Here are points I would make about how Bauhaus values will play an important role in what is next online: * Smart Phones & Apps gamify routine (boring) tasks. * Holistic design will increasingly mean Mobile Fist design. * We are all in the community building business (whether we know it or not) & community creates mass production OUT OF individual expression.
