How This Course Will Help Your Career

Mobile is everywhere—over 80% of the world’s population owns a smartphone. Half of the globe’s internet traffic comes from mobile. In fact, in Q2 of 2022, that number climbed to 58%. 

The user experience is different on mobile. A user’s comprehension drops by 50% when they move from desktop to mobile. To overcome this, your content, visual design, navigation, etc. needs to be twice as intuitive. 

Mobile is ubiquitous and inescapable, and it needs good user experience—that’s where you come in. 

Mobile UX design skills are now an essential part of any UX designer’s skill set. This course will provide you with the foundations of mobile UX so that you can break into this extensive market.

  • Different mobile design approaches, like adaptive and responsive design, and how to choose the best approach for your project.
