If you're like most designers and marketing managers we work with, you need to find a way to deliver sophisticated desktop and mobile websites — without getting buried in technology.

In this free webinar, we'll show you how to create great desktop and mobile sites while remaining focused on design.

To design leading-edge desktop and mobile sites, you don't need to know the technologies in detail. But you do need to understand the design opportunities presented by HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, as well as the constraints and additional considerations for designing for mobile devices.

The webinar will address issues including:

  • Understanding the opportunities presented by HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery
  • Why you need to think differently when designing mobile sites
  • Making your sites work well on iPads and other tablets
  • The pros and cons of responsive design, which adapts dynamically to different screen sizes
  • How to create your design (using Photoshop or the tool of your choice) so a developer can build the site efficiently
  • Why your sites should be built with a content management system, and how to choose one
  • How to get your your designs implemented so they look and behave as you want
