The mobile Web is having its time in the limelight. There are mobile applications with us for quite some time.
You can send text messages to check your remaining prepaid minutes, you can send Twitter messages from mobile or can send TANs for phone banking.
As the first device the iPhone integrates traditional phone capabilities with Web access.
So what is the success of smart mobile and web applications: it is the need of efficiency, clear user interaction and presentation design.
Why, there are so many applications out there without following the W3C recommendations:
- Keep content consistent and structurally simples
- Provide easy means of navigation
- Avoid free text input whenever possible
- Use small individual markup documents
- Avoid embedded objects of scripts
Sounds easy? The same simple rules can be adopt to all web applications around. When visiting eBay, have you ever been asked to “look carefully, because the order of any menu options have been changed” or when returning to Amazon (the early one, today a lot of pages at Amazon are overloaded), did you ever need to navigate through five levels of menus just to see whether your order has shipped?
The Product Guy wrote some words about a quick assessment of user experiences:
The Quick-UX evaluates the degree to which a product successfully addresses the following 3 questions:
* Can I use it? (Usability)
* Should I use it? (Usefulness)
* Do I want to use it? (Desirability)
Keep all applications small and simple!
