How designing for mobile is different from desktop?
Mobile sites are better suited to vertical, rather than horizontal navigation. While it's true that horizontal is the navigation style of choice for desktop – since it makes it easier for users to focus on site content – vertical navigation is much easier to use on mobile.
Why should a mobile website be different from a desktop website?
