Answer to Question 1

Answer: Use these five techniques to make your mobile messages more effective: (1) Use a linear organization. With small mobile device screens, a complicated organization requires readers to zoom in and out and pan around to see the message. To simplify reading, organize with a linear flow from the top to the bottom of the message or article. (2) Prioritize information. Small screens make it difficult for readers to scan the page to find the information they want. Use the inverted pyramid style to reveal the most important information briefly at first and then provide successive layers of detail that readers can consume if they want. (3) Write shorter and more-focused messages and documents. Mobile users often lack the patience or opportunity to read lengthy messages or documents, so keep it short. (4) Use shorter subject lines and headings. Mobile devices can't display as many characters in a single line of text as the typical computer screen can. As a rule, keep subject lines and headlines to around 25 characters. (5) Use shorter paragraphs. Shorter paragraphs are less intimidating and let readers take frequent micro rests as they move through a document.
