Importance Of Thumb Zone For Designing
Mobile-Friendly Websites
Have you ever used a mobile website or app where
you thought it is hard for your thumb to click
on links or buttons? Have you felt like you need
to stretch a little bit more to tap on an
important menu or icon? Have you thought that
the position of some features and elements should
be changed to make it easy for you to use the
website? These types of feelings are common for
online users who use the internet everyday to
look for any product or information. Do you know
what these types of mobile web designs indicate?
It indicates that the designer has not considered
the thumb zone accurately that has resulted in
the poor user experience.

However, if you want to create a mobile website
or app for your target audience that can be
operated by thumb movement easily, get hold of
SFWP Experts. Our web design company in Los
Angeles is focused on creating user-centric
websites for mobile phone and desktop users who
can click or tap on links, buttons and features
of your website easily. We provide many services
to businesses across the country including custom
web design, ecommerce website development, SEO,
online marketing, social media promotion
etc. In this article, I will share my knowledge
about the thumb zone, its rule for navigation,
and the swipe gestures. Origin of Thumb Zone The
theory of thumb zone was published in a book that
was written by the president of a well-known
design consultancy for mobiles and touchscreen
devices. The author has researched about how
people hold their devices and move their thumbs
on the screen while using it. In their testing
they found that mobile users have to stretch
their fingers distance a little to tap on a
particular link or button when it is out of reach
of their thumb. Considering this problem now
designers tend to place the links or buttons in
mobile websites or apps within the thumb
zone. If you also want to develop a mobile app
for your online business in which the thumb zone
is properly considered, share your app
requirement with us and we will create a fully
user-centered design for you. Our web design
company in Los Angeles has a strong team of
designers and developers who works with you to
create an online experience that helps in
converting your website traffic into valuable
customers. Thumbs Interaction with
Touchscreens Often most of the users hold their
phone in one hand and swipe, slide and tap with
their thumbs. With this you can understand that
thumbs play a major role in how we interact with
our mobile touchscreen devices. There are
certain zones in mobiles and touchscreen devices
in which thumb movements can be classified as
easy-to-reach, hard-to-reach and in-between
areas. The priority of designers is to design a
user-focused

mobile website or app for the target audience
that is based on the flow of the thumb zone. It
gives a clear idea what does better designs
should include and how user-friendly experiences
can be created. Since users are the end-consumer
of the products or services, it is necessary for
every designer to create user-friendly websites
that are compatible with all devices such as
tablets, mobiles, and desktops. For this you
need to find a top-rated web design company that
has years of experience in building professional
websites for growing big companies, government
agencies and non-profit organizations.
Alternatively you can also directly approach our
web design company in Los Angeles as our team
has extensive experience in developing responsive
websites, mobile applications, and web-based
software. Navigation In Mobiles There was a time
when mobile navigation was like a dropdown list
of links that were used for different tasks. But
today there are countless examples of navigation
patterns that are pleasing to the eye. If your
app has a long list of links that you want to
display for your users, then youll probably
consider using a full-screen overlay menu. This
type of menu helps you to organize the list,
social buttons and other useful content in a
better way so that it looks well-structured.
Besides this it also allows to align clickable
elements within the thumb zone to make it
comfortable for users to swipe, slide or tap on
links and buttons easily. On the other hand, if
your app doesnt have a long list of links then
it might be better to use a sticky menu in your
app. This type of menu is placed at the top or
bottom of the screen and functions pretty well
when users refer to it for their purpose. In the
past few years the number of mobile users has
increased drastically, therefore it is important
to design your mobile website or app in such a
way that it should be easy to use, easy to
navigate and easy to understand for them. We can
build this kind of mobile website for you if you
would like to work with us. The designers of our
Los Angeles web design company are
intellectually-minded who designs every element
of a website assuming themselves as a mobile
user and considering how different features and
4
elements can be easily accessed by everyone. They
design fully responsive websites for businesses
so that it can adjust to any screen size of any
device such as mobile phones, tablets, and
desktops. Swipe Gestures in Touchscreen
Devices Some of the common gestures in
touchscreen devices are tap, double-tap, swipe,
drag, pinch and press. The role of these gestures
is to engage users with technology through a
sense of touch and enable them to do certain
tasks easily. For this reason it is important for
designers to keep gestures within the thumb zone
so that visitors dont have to stretch out their
fingers distance. Also it should be ensured
that users are allowed to perform the gestures
in a natural way. It is very important for the
mobile website or app owner to deliver a
comfortable experience to its users and that can
be done by determining the position of gestures
appropriately. As far as swipe gesture is
concerned it has been found in the latest
research that the appropriate size of swipe areas
should be at least 45 pixels tall and wide. It
covers the area in which thumbs can move easily
to swipe or tap on something. So it is a good
idea to place swipe-gesture actions in
easy-to-reach areas and provide enough tapping
space that will make users comfortable in using
a website. In case you are interested in having
an excellent mobile website or app that has
important controls in the thumb zone, get in
touch with SFWP Experts. This innovative
Wordpress w ebsite design company creates
responsive web designs for clients around the
world that helps them present their brand
