"We found that the de- signs for mobile news pages and the structures for website homepages can have a significant impact on perceived ease of use, reading time, and the overall reading experience. Based on the evaluation results and the analysis of the current interface design for popular mobile news websites, we developed two important guidelines for mobile news websites: (1) the single- page design is favored over the multi-page and zooming designs for displaying text-based information, and (2) a homepage with a thumbnail design facilitates information processing better than the progressive and list-view designs."
"The first one was the single-page design. In this design type, a full news story was presented vertically in a single column. For example, mobile.nytimes.com implements this type of design. Readers slide their fingers downward in order to read the story."
"The third type of homepage design was the thumbnail design in which the homepage usually contained the news section names with relatively large thumbnails or images. By tapping on the image for a section, readers entered another page that listed article headlines for that news section. On this page, each headline might be accompanied by a small picture and a summary of each article. By tapping on the article title, people could read the full news article. Compared with the list-view and progressive designs, the major difference offered by the thumbnail design was that it provided visual presentations. When choosing news sections, users were offered both graphic and text-based information to choose an area of interest. An example of the thumbnail design is m.huffpost.com."

The concept of UX is predicated on
the idea that interactive technologies not only deliver func-
tional beneļ¬ts, but they also deliver experiences, and users’
intention to (re)live positive experiences is an important
driver of the use and adoption of technology (Hassenzahl,
2003). A rationale for research in UX is that the success of
interactive technologies is fundamentally connected to their
ability to promote high-quality experiences, beyond their
capacity to support the completion of instrumental tasks
