Mobile browsing statics and studies are crystal clear: mobile device browsing is here, and the use of mobile devices to access the Internet will continue to escalate in the future. Unfortunately, many current websites are not compatible with common mobile devices.
Current mobile design trends appear to indicate that mobile versions of websites are very basic to accommodate a variety of mobile devices so that websites render properly on a number of basic devices. It is conceivable to predict that this trend will evolve into more complex mobile design as newer smartphone and mobile devices are developed. With limited design budgets, many small businesses may take the practical approach to have mobile sites cater to current average mobile phone browser size resolutions.
What are the top priorities when considering a mobile website?
The mobile version should be compatible with common mobile screen resolutions
The mobile version of the website should render well (portray properly) on a number of common mobile browser sizes from a small browser that has the dimensions of 240 x 320 to the iPhone’s 480 x 320 and the Motorola Droid’s 480 x 854 screen resolution.
The mobile version should have optimized content
The mobile version’s images should be reduced to ensure that they load quickly and fit properly in the viewing screen of the most common devices.
The mobile version should have user friendly navigation
The mobile version’s navigation should be user friendly so that the viewer can navigate throughout the site easily.
The mobile version’s design should have a simplistic but compelling design
