AND CUSTOMERS?
Minimize data entry and scrolling
whenever possible:

with minimal clicks/scrolling

so most content fits on screen
Make sure links and buttons are large
enough to click on with small screens.
Use high quality graphics
Place ‘Checkout Button’ at top &
bottom of the screen
Page load 3-5 sec max

leverage auto-populate
functionality when possible and
provide ‘progress bar’ at top.

guests (without lengthy login)
Automatically save the users
cart contents for return visits
Keep the design simple and
clean- it is not necessary to put
entire website offerings on a
mobile device
