Seven usability guidelines for websites on mobile devices
Yahoo!'s oneSearch predicts what users are searching for and tailors results to their location.
1. Meet Users’ Needs Quickly
2. Don't repeat the navigation on every page
BBC Mobile does this effectively with a clickable breadcrumb trail at the top and a list of links at the bottom.
3. Clearly distinguish selected items
Simple page designs allow for more effective highlighting on Thomson Local.
4. Make user input as simple as possible
• Users make errors when trying to type long text on Thomson Local.• Users can quickly browse to the right cinema using Odeon's Cinema List.
5. Only show essential information
Unnecessary content pushes down Thomson Local's search box and BAA's main content below the fold.
6. Place basic browsing controls on the page
TFL's site was easy to navigate because basic controls appear on the page.
7. Design mobile-friendly page layouts
TFL's mobile site renders well on mobile screens. BAA's site doesn't appear to be designed for mobiles and renders poorly.
