This free report from Mequoda Group provides information on properly creating mobile sites that are user-friendly
(Nationwide)—To be successful in the world of mobile sites, it’s important to keep the notion that ‘less is more’ in mind. Attempting to incorporate too much into a mobile site will only confuse and frustrate users.
Instead of trying to display as much of the site as possible, include the main category names first so visitors will see it as they arrive. It will help them maneuver the site better and they will know precisely where specific content will be housed.
Taking into account the fact that users will be holding the device in their hands. Make sure the feel of the mobile site is very natural. Tests of a prototype should include moving the device around to properly gauge its usability.
Proper testing should be seen all the way through. It may be important to get a mobile site ready to stand up against competitors, but it’s also important to release a product that works to its greatest potential. Reputation of a brand may be at stake.
While testing, remember that variety is key. With all of the different mobile devices available on the market today, you will want one that is accessible on all of them. What may look great on an Android may not look good on an iPhone. Being able to please an audience is very important with mobile sites.
