Side Drawer Navigation Could Cost Half Your User Engagement

Side Drawer Navigation Could Cost Half Your User Engagement
Anthony Rose is co-founder and CTO of zeebox, the social network for TV. So, you have a mobile app where there are more pages or sections than can fit on a mobile screen at once. Your first thought might be to create a tabbed design, with a row of tabs along the top or buttons along the bottom. But wait… that extra row of tabs or buttons wastes a lot of valuable real estate on a small mobile display, so let’s not do that. If your mobile app has multiple views then I would be surprised if this subject has not been vigorously debated by your team: Persist all the navigation options on screen at all times so your users have clear visibility of all the main app views and single-click access to them.Or, free up screen real estate by moving the options into a side menu. The side menu has become fashionable on Android but not yet taken off on iPhone… and so another factor that enters the discussion is the desire for your Android and iOS apps to have similar navigation and user journeys, or not.

Wireframes are dead, long live rapid prototyping Wireframes, your time is up. You’ve served your purpose. You’ve brought order where there was once chaos and provided gainful employment for thousands of UX designers, but I’m afraid now it’s time for you to go to the big recycling bin in the sky. You’re just no longer cut out for the cut and thrust of UX design and have been replaced by that young upstart called rapid prototyping. In this article I argue why you too should ditch wireframes and embrace rapid prototyping. What are wireframes? In the same way that architectural drawings might outline what goes where for buildings, wireframes outline what goes where for a set of UI screens. An example wireframe with footnotes Wireframes are usually put together by a UX designer (or designers) prior to any visual design work and are typically constructed using diagramming tools such as Visio and Omnigraffle, or design and drawing tools such as InDesign and Fireworks. Why ditch wireframes? So what’s so wrong with wireframes?

Les bonnes habitudes de développeurs à appliquer dans sa vie quotidienne Le métier de développeur a cela de singulier qu'il consiste principalement à transformer de simples lignes de textes frappées sur un clavier en programmes qui font fonctionner logiciels, machines, et sites Internet dans le monde entier. Comme tous les métiers, il possède son lot de bonnes pratiques qui permettent de travailler plus vite et plus efficacement, mais avec des méthodes plutôt avancées, ceci étant en grande partie lié à la maîtrise des outils informatiques (à mon humble avis).

Quelques idées ? - etc... Debug photo flickr / Michael Mol
