Things wordy, geeky, and webbyDesigning Mobile Web Sites
Tuesday, November 8th, 2005 at 8:52 AM | 1 commentWhile designing with XHTML and CSS makes a site more accessible for those with mobile devices and screen readers, it’s not the most effective way to design mobile sites.
As more customers access the Web through the small screens of their cell phones and PDAs, businesses are beginning to develop Web pages specifically for these devices. In this article from the Web Design Reference Guide, I discuss designing mobile Web sites and make the business case for why we need to take the mobile Web more seriously.
Thanks to Brian Fling for his expertise.

I have recently upgraded my handheld and one of the reasons was essentially to avoid lugging around a laptop and access websites: in fact I am on it right now. Many websites are fairly usable but definitely lack the finesse they have on desktops.
I have not yet had a chance to read your article, but I wanted to point out that on Windows Mobile 5’s Internet Explorer, your site is only usable with its one column view. In the default mode, the screen is mostly empty except for about one quarter of the screen which you paragraph renders, with one cr two words per line.
Just thought you would like to know.
