Moving websites onto mobile-friendly pages and apps
Description
These are screenshots from three separate social media platforms, organized into a rough collage. Each social media platform (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) is now conveniently located on almost any phone's app store and has been made mobile-friendly. This accessibility, however, is not exclusive to social media.
The structure of web design changes when made mobile-friendly. In an app, rather than clusters of hyper-links, everything is contained on pages that one only need scroll and swipe to get to. On a mobile-friendly website, links for pages for the sites are located in drop down menus that help make the site more visibly appealing through simplicity and compactness.
This shift in availability is a response to the growing access we have to the internet through mobile devices.
