Checkpoint 3.3 - Mobile-PDA

The site is kept shallow

DEECD Requirement

DEECD Guideline

Users become increasingly disoriented as they go deeper into a site on a mobile device, and ultimately give up if the frustration of finding content becomes too great.

Requirement

The site is kept shallow. No more than three levels is preferred.

Recommendation

Limit categories as much possible to avoid a lengthy sequence of retrievals.

Checking Tool

View the site on a mobile device and ensure that all content can be reached by drilling down approximately three levels from the entry page.
