What kind of mobile presence should you consider
implementing?

“The phrase ‘mobile usability’ is pretty much an oxymoron. It's neither easy nor pleasant to use the Web on mobile devices. Observing user suffering during our sessions reminded us of the very first usability studies we did with traditional websites in 1994. It was that bad.In our mobile studies, the which is admittedly higher than success rates in the 1990s, but substantially lower than the roughly 80% success rate when testing websites on a regular PC today.“Before the study, we had expected to get better results in London because the UK has a stronger tradition for mobile services than the US. However, the actual sessions didn't bear this out: the British sites were just as bad as the American sites, and users struggled about as much to get things done.”

average success rate was 59%
The Mobile User Experience Is Miserable

People aren’t using mobile devices for searching as much*

CONSIDERATIONS FOR A MOBILE SITE
• What is the most essential content I should offer?
• What has the most utility?
• What could be practical for a person on-the-go?
• What additional services could I offer? (and should I?)
• Remember: Less is more.

What parts of my site should I put in a mobile application?
