22. TELL USERS WHICH
SCREEN ORIENTATION
WORKS BEST
Study participants tended to stay in the same
screen orientation until something prompted them
to switch, like trying to read small type or watch a
video. Either design for both landscape and portrait,
or encourage users to switch to the optimal screen
orientation - but make sure your important calls-
to-action can be completed even if they ignore the
suggestion to switch.
Sample screen for illustration only.
Key Takeaway
Communicate to users if your site works
best in a certain orientation, but ensure
your important calls-to-action can be
completed regardless of orientation.
