Mobile Design
The mobile revolution has happened. Companies can no longer just think their site is “mobile-friendly”. With the increase in smart phones and online mobile access, the thought process must now be “mobile-first”. Mobile design is no longer about building your website and then making it fit on a mobile device. The design must focus on what the mobile user wants and how to increase mobile engagement.
Mobile users are single focused and like to be part of a broader experience. Content overload is a negative. Mobile users want to quickly complete their objective an move on. The most common elements of your site must be readily available. For instance, if the customer just wants your phone number, it should be visible right after the site loads. Restaurants need to make reservations easy to find. For any business with physical locations, easy location finders or directions are vital.
