It was key to walk through the Responsive Design considerations with the stakeholders of possible future phases and future mobility needs as there was a custom branding and user interface (UI) design that their marketing department was having us implement in phase 1. The design was very appealing and looked great but it was important to help both I.T. and the business understand that the “look and feel” that is implemented should follow Response Web Design (RWD) but also take into consideration the “Device Channels” or ways the users within their company will access SharePoint long-term so that this branding would be compatible in future phases
Software development skills come into play whenever you want to extend SharePoint beyond what it does or looks like out of the box. SharePoint branding and custom web parts are common development activities for almost every SharePoint implementation
We want this project to not only focus on getting us into SharePoint 2013 and off the older version but also as an opportunity to implement governance and new permission strategies and also implement custom branding that aligns with our corporate brand

The search UI itself has specific characteristics for which you can tailor or configure as a “one off” branding initiative or to simply offer a set of specific and tailored search result-type pages to meet a department or specific user’s needs
For new organizations signing up for Office365, you aren’t likely to have the option of a SP2010 interface, but since it’s a brand new implementation, that likely doesn’t really matter
In essence, you then brand the content on the publishing site via custom master pages , page layouts and display templates
