Responsive design
Responsive design is a web design approach that allows your website to adapt to different screen sizes, including mobile devices. With responsive design, your website will automatically adjust its layout and content to fit the screen size of the device being used to view it. This ensures that your website looks great and consistent on all devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Users can switch between the desktop and mobile versions easily and have a seamless experience on all devices.
Single Column layout
One of the biggest challenges with mobile devices is the limited screen size. It is recommended to use a single column layout with a vertical scrollbar. This type of layout makes it easier for users to scroll through content without having to zoom in and out or scroll horizontally.
Navgiation with hamburger menu
Navigation is a critical aspect of any website, but it’s especially important on mobile devices. To make navigation easy on mobile devices, it’s important to provide links and buttons that are easy to tap with a finger. Avoid requiring users to type in information as much as possible, as this can be difficult on a small screen. Provide clear navigation paths and make it easy for users to access different pages of the website.
A hamburger menu is a common design element used in mobile websites to provide easy access to navigation options. It is represented by three horizontal lines and is typically located in the top left or right corner of the screen. When tapped, the hamburger menu expands to reveal a list of navigation options. Do limit the number of navigation options to avoid overwhelming the user. Some studies suggest that users can only effectively process and remember around 5-7 navigation options at a time.
Bullet Points and Headings
Mobile devices have limited screen space, so it’s important to minimize the amount of content on your website. This means focusing on the most important information and avoiding long paragraphs of text. Use bullet points and headings to break up your content and make it easier to read on mobile devices.
Font
Choose a font that is easy to read on a mobile screen. Consider using sans-serif fonts like Arial or Helvetica with font size of at least 16px is recommended for body text.
Use the same font and font size throughout your website for consistency, and use different font sizes to create a visual hierarchy that helps users easily scan and understand the content.
