- 12. Visualforce in Salesforce1 • Design VF pages taking the limited real-estate in mobile into accountMiddle ground between page layouts and Visualforce pages • Decide which form-factors your page has to support - phone, tablet, both • Develop for the mobile context – Use device features like geolocation, camera etc. where appropriate – Mobile version of the page/app does not have to support all the bells and whistles – less is more – Optimize for your most common mobile use case – discovery, data entry, search etc. • <apex:page docType=“html-5.0” standardStylesheets="false”> • Use Responsive Design principles (same as the Salesforce1 app)
