7. List-Based Layout Every mobile web document has a few identified zones:

8. Horizontal List Design Pattern

9. Horizontal lists have limited use on the mobile web as they can be difficult to read once they begin to wrap

10. A common use of this design pattern is for breadcrumbs and for top navigation menus.

11. Breadcrumbs are typically short and rendered in a small font which minimizes wrapping

12. if the list is being used as high level navigation use a background colour to visually separate the list (or list elements) from other elements on the page.

13. Accordion Menu Design Pattern makes good use of the display space available to the user without compromising on the ease of use and look/feel aspect of the web page
