Mobile Phone Website Design

Did you know that the Australian Communications and Media Authority says there is more than one mobile phone for every person in Australia. Increasingly mobile phones are being used to access the internet and possibly your website.

Websites can be designed to be easier to use on the small screens on a Mobile phone, as well as being optimised for the lower bandwidth although this can be more complicated
than most people realise.

Effective mobile websites take the small screen, limited bandwidth and range of mobile phone web browsers into consideration.

There are some basic fundamentals which need to be considered when designing of an effective mobile phone web site, they include:

•planning the site’s content
•limiting the text to the most important messages
•making the site easily navigatible as possible
•reducing the size and number of images
•avoiding animation, JAVA and flash which don’t work on some mobile phones
•ensuring WC3 Standards compliance
•listing phone numbers on the pages so they can be easily clicked on by the PDA/mobile phone user
•providing clear and simple links to aid navigation through the site.

There is even mobile website domains – .MOBI reserved just for mobile websites
