Mobile Web Design Guidelines
It’s clear that there are many benefits of mobile web design, but you probably want more information about how to go about it. Here are some easy tips for making your website mobile-ready or creating a new one from scratch:
Keep it simple – Mobile web design can be very different from desktop web design. Since you will be using a small screen to access the website, users want easy navigation through all of your site’s content without having to search for links or click on any unnecessary buttons.
Use only necessary images – Don’t use large, bloated graphics that take too long to download on your mobile site. This will not only frustrate users who are trying to access your website quickly, but it could also hurt your search engine rankings because pages that load slowly are given lower priority. Plus, smartphone cameras can now take high-quality pictures so there’s no need to include photos on every page of your site.
Get rid of anything unnecessary – You want to make sure that your mobile website conveys all the necessary information as quickly as possible without overwhelming users with graphics and ads that load slowly. If your site is too overloaded with content, visitors will be frustrated and they’ll probably leave quickly.
Flexibility is key – Make sure your website is flexible enough to cater to any type of mobile device. Even though the most popular smartphones are Android, BlackBerry, iPhone and Windows phone, there are still people who use older devices or different brands that might not have all the same capabilities as the more recent ones.
