Mobile Friendly Content

A responsive design alone doesn’t make a site “mobile friendly”. Understanding the reading pattern on the mobile will help you write better because it will free you from focusing on generic web writing rules that don’t necessarily apply to mobile readers.

  1. Understanding how people read on a mobile
  2. Go for the bite(headline), snack(summary), and meal(full post) approach
  3. Chunk content for easy reading
  4. Write short titles
  5. Go for short, snappy paragraphs
  6. Use small words
  7. Use images
 
Writing a post like this, creating a PowerPoint deck or maybe editing a video are things that are still best done by me using lots of computing power and a large screen or two.
Just about everything else – managing email, reading blog posts, participating in social media and consuming content in various forms – can be done, sometimes much more conveniently, using a mobile or tablet device.
