New download: mobile site search and navigation design

The number of people shopping on mobile devices continues to increase year-on-year. Analysts predict that mobile will drive almost 50% of eCommerce sales by 2022, and we’re seeing similar trends in Europe and the rest of the world.

It’s become such a significant source of online traffic, in fact, that Google launched mobile-first indexing earlier this year. This means that the algorithm underpinning the world’s most popular search engine will now prioritise mobile performance over desktop when ranking web pages – potentially penalising sites that don't have a good mobile presence.

To stay competitive in this changing retail landscape, it’s vital that your eCommerce store offers a smooth user experience for your mobile customers.

Adapting your website for mobile

Search and navigation are key to providing a positive user experience on mobile.

When mobile customers visit an eCommerce site, many of them are looking for a specific product. And they expect to be able to locate it and complete their purchase, fast. Recent research suggests that as many as 59% of smartphone users favour mobile websites that allow them to make quick purchases.

But optimising search and navigation for mobile is a delicate process.

Conveying key product information with limited on-screen real estate; ensuring customers know what’s clickable and what isn’t; compensating for the inevitable errors that come from using a digital keyboard. There are many unique challenges associated with mobile design.
