It's
a given - your mobile website or app needs the ability for visitors to navigate
through all of its features. Based on
the latest design trends, you are highly likely to use the three line
"hamburger" menu. Not only does this icon use little space, but since
so many other mobile properties use this icon, everyone will instantly know
that pressing it should bring up a menu, right?
Many user experience professionals recommend labeling the three lines with the
word "MENU" or "SHOP" or "CATEGORIES" or something else to explicitly state what pressing the icon performs. Does labeling
the icon matter?
