slide 1: Two Mobile Website
Design Myths Refuted
Mobile website design like a lot of new industries is
awash with false wisdom based on assumptions with little
basis in reality. People see guidelines provided by the first
wave of mobile website designers to be absolute truths
which cannot be circumvented or improved upon. This
attitude serves as a constraint on the talents of designers
and the innovation that’s needed in such a competitive
field. So what myths do you hear the most often
We’re constantly told that mobile users want a quick
concise sometimes heavily simplified experience on
mobile websites. We’re told that users will get distracted
quickly they’re constantly sceptical and will avoid
anything that takes more than 10 seconds to complete.
The truth is that the behaviour of your users will vary
based on demographics. The more diverse your potential
audience the more you may need to simplify whereas
niche audiences will appreciate greater detail and may
hang around longer than expected. Average session times
on mobile and desktop are roughly equivalent but bounce
rates are slightly higher on mobile devices.
slide 2: Another myth is that mobile websites are mostly used for
basic activities: reading blogs or articles getting information
like contact details so you can later visit the site on a full-
feature desktop version. This was because mobile devices
used to be much slower and full browser capabilities weren’t
possible not too long ago. However smartphones have
evolved mobile web browsing considerably and you can do
just about anything on your phone: fill out job applications
write documents buy products from websites and anything
else you can do on a desktop.
There’s also the fact that world trends indicate that desktop
computers are slowly being phased out outside of resource-
heavy activities like gaming or video editing in favour of a
computer that fits in your pocket. 1 in 10 of US adults rely on
their smartphone to use online services and that number
will grow bigger over time.
