Hosting a website became a necessity for business owners over 15 years ago. Without a website today, your business is invisible to consumers, like not having a telephone number. In this day, you can look around and see that almost every single successful business has a website on the Internet.

The desktop website trend took shape in the late ’90s and and even exploded into the business world. As with business, the economy and business environment are always changing. Indeed, today, there is a new trend that is taking off and changing the way that the business world works, and it is coming straight at the business world like a freight train! Mobile websites are becoming a necessity for business owners.

Mobile Design Mistakes: Navigation First, Content Second

How do we allow people to move through your mobile website? What are the navigation elements and the user interface we can put on the screen to allow visitors to move through your mobile website more easily?

Many mobile web experiences offer introductions, and even when you get through the “skip-introduction” phase, you get navigation options. What works better on mobile websites is content first and navigation second. Look at YouTube’s mobile website, for example. You will see a minimal amount of navigation at the top.

Then, content such as stories, videos, and live streaming. Why should we put content first? Speed matters. Does your visitor have to tap a couple of times to see your content? There are constraints on mobile. The screen is smaller, and screen space is limited. What are you going to fill it with… five bars of navigation or content that people want to interact with?

Mobile Website Design Tips:

The point of mobile marketing is to give your customers quick and direct access to your business. The longer your message is, the less likely you will pull them in. Be clear and concise. Tell them only what they need to know, and it will be easier to pull people into your brand, entice them to stay at your site and convert leads into sales.

Now, the mass adoption of smartphones and tablets has set the stage for a new move – away from fixed-point, card-based transactions and toward those completed on mobile.
