Often when browsing a website on my iPhone I am impatiently zooming in and out trying to make use of their standard non responsive menu, this often leads to some clumsy fat fingered iPhone stabbing which only results in me being taken to the wrong page anyway.

When creating your website, in a majority of instances you would take the decision to make it responsive on all screen sizes so the website still provides a great user experience, no matter if the user is on an iPhone or a small tablet device.

A decision you need to consider in the early concept stages is how best to present your website menu structure to your user. Depending on the menu size and hierarchy will influence how you decide to present your responsive menu.

Today I wanted to take a look at a couple of different ways responsive websites are presenting their menu structures to mobile and tablet users, helping in the fight against fat fingered navigation errors.

By chance I came across a pretty interesting conceptual redesign of Facebook whilst browsing on Dribbble. After seeing that, I noticed that many designers have used their spare time to create some pretty interesting redesign concepts of big brand apps, websites and branding.

Using your spare time to create design concepts is a good way to hone your skill-set and get some feedback on your work, especially if your actual work does not include big brand names or does not allow you to post your work on design specific social network websites.

Today I wanted to share with you some of these design concepts that I thought were interesting, I particularly like the Facebook redesign concept and the New York Times concept.

If video enhances your website and conveys your message with flair, imagine how much more exciting your site will be with full-screen video rather than simply a window.

A website designer used to be restricted to Flash in order to add such video, but today you can use Javascript or HTML5 to make your video stretch to full-screen size.

With internet speeds as fast as they currently are, designers are able to create astonishing videos with no limits to their usability. Website visitors can be treated to as much creativity and imagination as you can bring.
