Mobile Usability and Designing for Interrupt-ability

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

Last week we attended an evening dedicated to opening our minds and gathering some tips on mobile usability. The evening was free and hosted by Northern User Experience, and these are my thoughts…

The main talk was by Kimberley Bottomley, a User Experience Manager at Aviva who has “spent a considerable amount of time researching [mobile usability] and learning about [it] in the past 12 months”.

The talk got off to a bit of a slow start, detailing some points which any good designer or User Experience professional should take into consideration on every project, whether mobile or not. However there were several interesting facts and figures to spark discussion amongst the group.

Responsive Web Design is a very concise and to-the-point book on how to apply front end development techniques in order to make a single website adapt to be more easily viewed at multiple screen resolutions, and on multiple mobile and desktop platforms.
