You need resources, and we are here to help with excellent webinars and events to jump start your agency’s efforts.

Mobile is heating up this summer, what with the implementation of the Digital Strategy kicking off and anytime, anywhere, any device content being a key tenet. So, mark your calendars.

Responsive Design Webinar

First up, a webinar on responsive design. Responsive design is the new, hot technique to make content work on different devices. The idea is to serve a single site that can rearrange itself and function well on phones, tablets, and desktops. Everyone is talking about it, but is anyone really doing it?

What You’ll Learn

• How responsive design can support device-agnostic content delivery—as called for in the Digital Innovation Strategy
• When responsive design makes sense, and when it doesn’t
• Design implementation “walkthroughs” at other agencies
• Challenges, lessons learned and tips for approaching responsive design

When: Wednesday [Tuesday], June 27, 2012 from 2 – 3 PM ET

Sign up for this free and timely webinar and get ahead of the curve. Register now.
