Mobile Website
First, you have to know that the Web site design and construction generally used for computer browsers is not compatible with that of mobile phones. For your site to work well on a mobile handset, it must follow the accessibility design guidelines for building mobile Websites which are set by the W3C.
In mobile phones, the technology called the WAP is used for browsing. Because of the limitations of WAP browsers in terms of screen size and allowable download, you will need to strip down your current design.
The iPhone Has Changed Mobile Internet
The iPhone has revolutionised how the mobile phone is used to access the Internet. With a large, intuitive multi-touch screen the iPhone has significantly impacted the mobile internet landscape. Before the iPhone´s launch, browsing the Internet from your mobile phone was more of a chore than a convenience. Mobile internet browsing is rapidly becoming a viable alternative to monitor-based Internet browsing
The Screen Size
As the mobile phone screen becomes large enough to make mobile Internet browsing viable, the standard LCD monitor used on your PC or Mac is also becoming larger. While the iPhone has a screen size of 3.5 inches, the smallest LCD monitor available for sale in the market today is 17 inches, with 19, 20 and 22 inch displays becoming more widely used.
Designing a website to produce optimum results from your website traffic means taking full advantage of the screen size and resolution you have available to you. This means that you will need to design a website that displays optimally on large LCD monitors and a different website that displays optimally on a mobile phone screen. Each website design needs a different approach.
Web Design for Mobile Phones
A website designed for a mobile phone screen will use the same website conversion principles as the standard website but will require a different style of web design to make it as easy for the user to read your wording and take action on your offer. Essentially, your mobile phone site will be a condensed version of your main site, optimised to drive visitor action.
