This article is an excerpt from an interview that Adam Churchill had with Josh Clark. You can hear the full interview on their podcast or read their transcript.

Adam Churchill: Last month Josh Clark, author of the book “Tapworthy,” joined us for a virtual seminar on mobile design. It was called “Mobile Design: Designing Tapworthy Mobile Apps.” In the seminar, Josh gave us a broad introduction to the design principles for designing for mobile, whether that’s for apps or for mobile web.

We had quite a few left over questions we couldn’t tackle due to time. Lets start with a question from Cliff. Should the mobile websites actually feature different content from their big screen counterparts?

Josh Clark: Well, you know, as with a lot of projects, the answer, isn’t totally clear cut. It depends on what you’re working on. Broadly as design practitioners you need to really think about the use cases.
