“You don’t walk into a hardware store, notice a good-
looking shovel, then say “Boy this sure looks like a mighty
fine looking shovel. I’m gonna head home and start
finding stuff to dig up with this here shovel.”
Brad Frost, blogpost “Native vs Web” is total bullshit, July 2011
the native road
11
“As of this writing, there’s no contest: Ship [native] mobile apps if you can afford
it
(…)
We measured a success rate of 74 percent when people used [native] mobile apps,
which is much higher than the 64 percent recorded for mobile-specific websites.”
Jakob Nielsen, Mobile Usability, 2013

§  When to build?
§  you want
§  rich interaction
§  fluent animations
§  full access to device functionality
§  shiny graphics
§  on a level you would struggle with HTML5 (at the time of this
writing)
§  you can afford it (and the price tag tends to go up and up and…)
§  more platforms, often forked in
¨  sub-platforms: e.g. iOS for iPhone and iPad
¨  sub-versions: Android Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich,
Jelly Bean,…
§  native development is not a walk in the park

§  your users will download updates, won’t they…?

§  multitouch

The web road
“Once you start thinking in terms of networks, it just doesn’t make much
sense to prefer local apps, with downloadable, installable code that
needs to be constantly updated.
(…)
But we’re not yet in a world of infinite speed, so that’s why we have
mobile apps and PC and Mac software on laptops and phones. That’s why
there are still Xbox games on discs. That’s why everything isn’t in the
cloud. But eventually the technology wants it all to be up there.”
Marc Andreessen, Wired Magazine, April 2012

§  Mobile-optimized websites and web applications
§  Living on the web
§  Often a subset of content/features of the
“normal” version of the website/web application
§  but what’s important? what’s not?
-> user research (esp. data analysis) will help you out
§  A wide audience reach
The web road, direction mobile
22
§  When to build?
§  your users’ goals differ depending on device/context
§  you offer ‘simple’ functionality like look-ups and
simple workflows
§  you need speed
§  you don’t need
§  lots of editing or data manipulation
§  on-device functions
The web road, direction mobile - when
§  Your focus is on
§  stripping features that are not the core of the mobile
use case
§  reducing ⎜ removing ⎜ demoting
§  enlarging interface elements
§  providing an emergency exit
§  cross-link from desktop site (or ‘full site’) to mobile site and
vice versa

“Perhaps there’s a compelling reason to keep your site’s desktop and mobile
experiences separate, or perhaps your content would be better served by a
responsive approach. Only you and your users know for certain.”
