Best Website Layout for Mobile Phone?

[Astonlee]

Thinking long-term about website layout, due to the growth in the use of smart type phones, which I am told now account for around 45% of all search done on the internet, and it still increasing!

I would like your opinions on how you carry out searched on your smart phone?

As my brother asked me to help him with ideas for creating a new website for his business, and prefer to use just a horizontal navigation bar below his site banner, and I don’t agreed.

When I use a my smart phone I tend to hold it in a upright position, and prefer sites that list their products/service vertical down the left hand side, with their company profile information in a horizontal navigation bar below their site banner.

I find that I can more quickly want to find what I am looking, as you can see/read the bulk their product listing and it also a lot easier to scroll down the screen to click on it.

How do you hold/use your phones when carrying out a search?

On both computers and cell phones held horizontally, there is on ongoing battle for the space at the top and bottom. More or less, there is less vertical space on a screen every day.

For this reason, I already turn off many icon and tool bar functions in software and browsers already, but there is still a vertical space shortage.

My wife tends to hold her iphone with the screen vertical when she is playing solitare, but routinely switches it to horizontal as needed.

I use my nokia E7 almost always in horizontal mode, and strongly prefer it.

I faced this same question when I had my own web site made, and only wanted links on the left side of the page - no links at all at the top or bottom at all. Interestingly, a number of the templates out there make this quite difficult, but I sort of forced it to happen. That being said, my web site is still a work in progress and has a few bugs.

My suggestion is to also keep in mind that a significant number of people still have relatively modest DSL speed connections (under 1 mbs actual, and significant latency) If a page does not load in 1/2 second or less, I tend to skip the site.

Like you I think I will stick with the product heading vertically down the left hand side, and ‘about us’ stuff in a horizontal navigation bar, has I agreed that ease/speed of finding what you are looking for is paramount.
As I tend to look first at what I want, and if the offering is of interest, then and only then I would then start to check out the supplier credentials.
