We have a sober-looking MyToday as default and a new MyToday home page which has colourful bands. When you look at the home pages on a mobile, most of us believe the colourful look wins – but when you look at the same home page on the web interface – not everyone seems so enthusiastic. Do we go for sober or colour? The same design, when seen from a different perspective begs the question – do we design for the PC or the GPRS user?
And that’s a dilemna we are facing. While we are designing with GPRS user in mind, a lot of our current users are PC Internet users. Do we try to please our PC users compromising on the principles for GPRS design – or do we continue to design for GPRS usage, letting our PC users down in terms of overall look and feel?
The sober bands vs colourful bands is just one of these questions. Any thoughts welcome.
