TEN KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR MOBILE STRATEGY

1. Define Needs of Mobile Web Design

Are your customers using mobile devices to search for services such as yours? Do you want to make sure that you are found on mobile devices? Most likely they are, and this will only continue to increase in the future.

2. Consider Business Objectives

Objectives will be prioritized, and that hierarchy will be communicated in the design. Mobile devices are smaller than laptops or desktops, so the focus of a mobile design will be on the top priorities of the business.

3. Study Past Data

Your main website has been tracking traffic with Google Analytics. This enables us to analyze things like which devices (iPhone, Android, iPad, etc) have been used to access your site, which carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, TMobile), how many visits by each etc.

4. Responsive Web Design

With so many new mobile devices being released every year, the website will have to be optimized for a wide range of mobile web browsers. The site will have to be scaleable and adaptable to any device.

5. Simplicity is Golden

When converting a desktop site design to a mobile web design format, you want to simplify things wherever possible. There are several reasons for this. Keeping file size and load times down is always a good idea for mobile sites. Wireless connections – while faster than years past – are still relatively slow, so the faster your mobile site loads, the better.

However, we can still create aesthetically pleasing designs that are optimized for mobile.

6. Single-Column Layouts Usually Work Best

A single column structure tends to work best. Not only does this help with managing limited space on the smaller screen, it also helps you easily scale between different device resolutions and flipping between portrait and landscape mode.

7. Vertical Hierarchy: Think in Collapsible Terms

A good way to organize things in a simple and digestible way is to set up a collapsible navigation. Take a single column structure a step further, you can stack chunks of content in folding modules that allow the user to tap open the content that they’re interested in and hide the rest.
