   • Mobile-Friendly Interface: Modify the user interface (UI) for touchscreen use, ensuring that it is optimized for mobile users without compromising content visibility or interaction ease.
   • Accessibility Focus: Implement features that enhance accessibility for all users, including those with visual impairments or mobility challenges. Make sure that the design accommodates screen readers, larger font sizes, and simple navigation.
2. Swipe Gesture Implementation
   • Develop and Integrate Swipe Gestures: Create swipe gestures for navigating through ads, categories, and other important sections of the site. This may include swipe-based scrolling, item selection, or browsing through photos.

   • Error Prevention: Implement touch-optimized controls that reduce user errors, such as large buttons for easy selection and easy-to-access navigation.
   • Feedback Mechanism: Incorporate subtle visual feedback (like button highlights) to confirm user actions, such as taps or swipes, for a more intuitive experience.
4. Content Adaptation for Screen Orientation
   • Responsive Content Display: Ensure that content, images, and buttons adjust to the screen orientation—whether portrait or landscape—without breaking the design or causing unnecessary scrolling.
   • Multi-Device Support: Ensure that the mobile interface works effectively across various devices (smartphones, tablets) with different resolutions and screen sizes.
