How to monetise adult content on mobile
Using cloud services to provide adult content on mobile
The debate for and against adult content on your mobile will go on and on. Inevitably, clients and business owners alike will want to look at how the route to purchase, on your handset, can be visualised. This is where the UX/UI designer in me comes out to play.

Providing familiar interface design, such as the carousel, will always promote a natural interaction with the end user. Content can be loaded in, via CMS or otherwise, and displayed as your shop window.
Easy selection
The grid format can easily accommodate the multitude of file formats out there. Simple previews can act as sign-posts for the content underneath.

Design Trends For Mobile – Part 6: Location, Location, Location
Design Trends For Mobile – Part 6 – Location.pdfDesign Trends in Mobile
After only a few years the mobile landscape has generated a selection of trends and UX that have now become best practice in mobile design and an essential skill-set for the experienced UI designer. And as a UX designer you should be aware of these experiences and how best to incorporate them into your design decisions.
Location, location, location
Not only discovering the nearest banking cash machine or the whereabouts of a friend or employee, location services can include parcel and vehicle tracking, mobile commerce when taking the form of coupons or advertising directed at customers based on their current location. They include personalised weather services and even location-based games. They are an example of telecommunication convergence.
By 2010, location-based services power Mobile Local Search to enable the search and discovery of persons, places, and things within an identifiable space defined by distinct parameters. These parameters are evolving. Today they include social networks, individuals, cities, neighborhoods, landmarks, and actions that are relevant to the searcher’s past, current, and future location.

Design Trends For Mobile – Part 5: Minimise The Taps
Design Trends For Mobile – Part 5 – Minimise The Taps.pdfDesign Trends in Mobile
This is the 5th part in a series of trends that I have witnessed in the design world. When designing, design for short bursts of activity similar to how people use phones across the board—in short bursts of activity. Users probably won’t sit for an hours going through your masterpiece, they will take bite-sized chunks and digest it at their will. These trends and UX have now become best practice in mobile design and an essential skill-set for the experienced UI designer.
It’s best to minimise your grand concepts to a simple set of options that gets the job done.
Less functionality = Simple user interface = Easily perceived and understood
Minimise The Taps
Limit your options and lead users through a series of simple choices, limiting options to 5-7 big links at any stage. Effectively holding the users hand and guiding them through is a specialism that all UX designers need to master.

Design Trends For Mobile – Part 4: Interactive Feedback
Design Trends For Mobile – Part 4 – Interactive Feedback.pdfDesign Trends in Mobile
This is the 4th part in a series of trends that I have witnessed in the design world. These trends and UX have now become best practice in mobile design and an essential skill-set for the experienced UI designer.
Interactive Feedback
Provide obvious feedback for any action. Actions which take a long time to load need an indication that something is in progress. For each process, include loading states to provide the user with a timeline. This type of visual feedback is familiar to most users and you’d be wise to take advantage of it.
Basecamp Mobile does a great job of this by showing a spinning loading gif as it loads the next page. Remember, the desktop browsers have various indicators built-in to show that something is in progress. Mobile browsers don’t make it as obvious, so it’s important to build visual feedback into your mobile site and/or app design.
