Key factors
Hamburger Menu
Utilize the hamburger menu icon, which allows hiding navigation elements under a single button. This saves screen space, and users can easily open the menu with just one tap.
Minimalist Elements
Ensure that navigation elements are minimalist and concise to occupy as little screen space as possible. Avoid unnecessary graphic elements or text.
Finger Scrolling
Ensure that navigation elements are appropriately sized so users can easily scroll with their finger – thumb. Elements should be large enough to be easy to tap, even on smaller screens.
Simple Structure
Simple navigation structure that is easy to understand and use. Avoid too many levels of depth, so users don't have to scroll through too many options.
Icons Instead of Text
Using icons instead of text for navigation options, if possible. Icons can be more visually accessible and take up less screen space.
