What Can It Do?

51Degrees device intelligence compliments Responsive Web Design (RWD) providing a wider range of features to optimize for different devices both client and server side. For example:

1. Understand how goal completion varies by device characteristics such as physical screen size by adding additional data to existing reporting and analytics.
2. Utilize the superior power of the web server and SDL DXA to make macro level decisions concerning page layout, navigation and design leading to superior performance, user experience and profit.
3. Implement device specific user interface features such as;
   a. Prominent “Tap to Call” or “Tap to SMS” on devices that always support such features.
   b. Rich hover optimised mega menus on non-touch screen devices.
   c. Optimize navigation on complex sites for different screen sizes.
4. Reduce regression testing by using templates selected on browser capabilities. That is: no need to regression test leading edge enhancements on legacy browsers.
