User Expectations and Behaviour

I’ll probably add more links to this post, but here’s the first few:

Retain Homepage Links

Homepage Links Remain a Necessity

Summary:

• Keep logos top-left
• Make sure logos link to the homepage
• Also provide a text-base ‘Home’ link

Users do scroll / There is no fold

Opera Mini

Lots of people use Opera Mini:

Users don’t interact with Carousels

Usually they don’t:

Carousels MAY be appropriate in some cases, just not as banner / signpost unless navigation is VERY obvious: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2015/02/carousel-usage-exploration-on-mobile-e-commerce-websites/
