So the highlight is how to cater the need of mobile users in order to provide the seamless mobile user experience. The first thing to do is to change our traditional approach towards the information architecture for mobile devices. As compared to a desktop, a mobile architecture is different as it depends on the mobile\u2019s physical dimensions and capabilities. Also, the way people interact with mobile device changes from device to device. For example, the tablet is generally significantly bigger than a smartphone and prevent heavy mobility usage. While the smartphone is supposed to be with you almost all the time, in a pocket. When you are on the move, a smartphone might be preferable as it fits in a pocket or lighter to carry. In the opposite, if you have a lot of information to look at you will prefer a bigger screen i.e tablet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The information architecture (IA) for desktops has become common practice but for mobile, there is still a long way to go as it is not yet established as a common discipline. Although mobile information architecture is hardly a discipline today, it certainly ought to be because of its differences from desktops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>The IA Should Be Differently Organized and Cater to Mobile Needs<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Following figure 1 shows how a typical news website is shown in desktop and mobile browser. Here we see the mobile website is just ported from desktop to make it work on a mobile browser. However, this approach is not useful in case of mobile devices because of its physical dimensions &amp; capabilities. The IA should be differently organized to <\/span>cater<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> mobile needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20 text-center\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Figure 1. Comparison of a news website in desktop and mobile browser<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20 text-center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The role of a mobile information architect would be to interpret the website content in the mobile context.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Below are some questions you have to ask yourself when starting to create a mobile information architecture:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Do you use the same structure or sections as on desktop website?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Do you present the same information above the fold? If so, how should that be prioritized?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">How does the user navigate to other areas?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Do you use the same visual and interaction paradigms, or invent new ones? And if you do start to invent new paradigms, will you lose the visual characteristics of what users expect?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mb20\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">As we see in Figure 2 there are many ways that the news website has been interpreted in the mobile browser.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20 text-center\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Figure 2. Many interpretations for the news website in the mobile browser.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">But we are only beginning to scratch the surface. We also need to organize our mobile information architecture to address the mobile device context and capabilities. For example, the news website could show headlines based on the user\u2019s location to make it more contextual &amp; utilize mobile devices capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Site Maps<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The first deliverable we use to define mobile information architecture is the site map. They visually represent the relationship of content to other content and provide a map for how the user will travel through the informational space, as shown in Figure 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13182\" src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-3.png\" alt width=\"855\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-3.png 855w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-3-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-3-768x326.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13182 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20855%20363%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"855\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20855%20363%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 855w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-3.png 855w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-3-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-3-768x326.png 768w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-3.png\"><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20 text-center\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Figure 3.

But there are a few things specific to mobile that we need to consider while creating a mobile sitemap.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 28px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Offer Only What is Required:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb20\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Take an example of a typical e-commerce website, generally, there are 5-10 main navigation sections which help the user navigate through the website. If a user goes to the wrong section, he can simply click back &amp; goes to another section. In the mobile context, tasks are short and users have limited time to perform them. In mobile websites, we can\u2019t assume reliable network bandwidth that allows a user to quickly go back in case of a wrong choice. Therefore, the solution is to offer only what is absolutely required on mobile devices to minimize the risk of wrong choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> Therefore, the solution is to offer only what is absolutely required on mobile devices to minimize the risk of wrong choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In Figure 4, you can see a poorly designed mobile information architecture that too closely mimics its desktop cousin; it was not designed with the mobile user in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13183\" src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-4.png\" alt width=\"855\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-4.png 855w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-4-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-4-768x326.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13183 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20855%20363%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"855\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20855%20363%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 855w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-4.png 855w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-4-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-4-768x326.png 768w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mobisoftinfotech.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Fig-4.png\"><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb20 text-center\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Figure 4.
