IMPROVING AND DEVELOPING WEBSITE DESIGN FOR MOBILE DEVICES

Here are the ten quick easy tips on how to make your mobile website user friendly

HAVE A PLAN FOR LAYOUTS

Before anything else, you must generate a specific plan on what the actual appearance of your website will be if viewed from mobile phones. Draft some designs or layouts that can adapt to the same features that your website has. Anything you sketch, regardless of whether they are from scratches, tissue papers, or pizza box, is important. Innovative or clever ideas from the layout are also significant. Just draw some sort of layouts. Make sure that the important tabs or buttons are present in the layouts.

JUST MAKE IT SIMPLE

Consider the fact that your website is viewed from mobile devices. The website must be simple and not complicated to deliver a great user experience to your visitors and customers. There are lots of ways to make your website simple. Just be sure that the main message of the website is there and make sure that its layout is not complicated from the user’s point-of-view.

USE WHITE SPACES

Most of the users are irritated if the text of your mobile website is small and not displayed equally. Make sure that all of the text of your website, when viewed from mobile device, is readable. Always consider the capability of the user to read especially from mobile devices. Use lots of white spaces because people are used to read from white-spaced text. This is just a part of considering the feedbacks that you may receive after you implement optimisation to your mobile website. Just make sure each and every text is easy to read.

DEVELOP IT FOR MULTIPLE HANDSETS

Some websites are well viewed from Android operating system (OS) but when it is viewed through Nokia smart phones or through iPhone OS (iOS), the website fails and is not the same. A development in optimisation of mobile websites considers these things. Because there are lots of OS for phones, make sure that these OS adapt to your website no matter what. Never design a site for a specific device or OS only. Ensure that all mobile devices and OS can read your website so that whoever browses your website can view it without hassle.

AVOID TOO MUCH IMAGES

You don’t want your website to be an online gallery do you? Don’t put too much images to your website; otherwise, it will look like a portfolio or an online gallery. Make sure that whatever images you will put to your website is important and will help your website’s appearance. Just put all necessary images to your website. Don’t put images that are not related to the idea of your website because the branding of your website might disappear.

OBSERVE AND LEARN FROM OTHER MOBILE WEBSITES

This is a significant strategy to do. It is not bad to learn from other websites on how they optimised theirs for mobile phones. Just make sure that you will not copy or violate their copyrights. Just learn from their website on how they use this method for mobile phone viewing.

MAKE THE ELEMENTS FROM YOUR STANDARD SITE AND MOBILE SITE MATCH

Make sure that whatever elements or appearance that your standard site has when browsed from a desktop is the same when it is browsed from mobile devices. Make sure that the colours, images, fonts, and links are the same. It is as if mimicking your own website and making its mini version.

PROVIDE AN EASY-SCROLL EXPERIENCE

Some of the visitors or viewers are getting pissed if they have a hard time scrolling the website from their mobile phones. This leads them to a decision that they will never visit the site again. Well that is a big No. you must put yourself to the situation of the viewers when they visit your site using a mobile device. Make sure that you will give a smooth-scrolling website with a great user experience so that they will visit again.

LISTEN TO VIEWERS’ FEEDBACK

Listening to the feedback or suggestions will make your website stronger. Don’t mind those bad comments from other people. Focus on what the people are telling you to improve so that you know what to do to improve your website. In short, learn from them.
