Organising Mobile Web Experiences
The things that make mobile devices unique have a big impact on how we can organise and guide people through the content of our web experiences.
Mobile Input
Mobile devices aren’t just glowing rectangles filled with Angry Birds and Facebook updates, they’re an amazing way for people to participate, create, and collaborate wherever and whenever inspiration strikes. But for years, the sage design advice has been to limit input on mobile devices because it’s too "hard"&emdash;screens are small, networks are spotty, and typing is hard. It’s high time to reverse this thinking and embrace the mobile opportunity instead.
