What is a mobile web site?

Define a mobile website

A mobile website is a unique information resource on the World Wide Web. For a mobile version of your company web site to help find new customers, for your business, you need to understand what it means to search the web on a mobile device. Like using a search engine for people with disabilities, mobile devices have serious limitations when compared to using a desktop computer. That's why an accessible website is important. Do you know how to find a mobile website?

To be a valid mobile website, each mobile web page must contain no more the 10K of text and page markup code. The stylesheets and graphics that are required to render each page, can not exceed another 10K. Mobile sites can't use JavaScripts, flash or other non-html elements, because most mobile devices simply don't support them. Mobile websites are used by people who don't have the luxury of downloading large web pages. Surfing the mobile web costs money and takes valuable time. Most people that find a mobile web site are simply looking for contact information. They are usually searching for a phone number, business or email address, or driving directions to the business. Designing a mobile friendly website, makes it easy for them to find your site! You'll want to find a designer who actually understands mobile, to help YOU... find THEM.
