Mobile devices have become part of everyday lives for busy
professionals. They have combined many tools into one object and eliminated
clutter from people’s lives. Some people have eliminated desktop computers altogether
and do most of their light browsing on their phones. While they may not always
be classified as phones as their main usage, I think it’s safe to say they are
here to stay.
Building a mobile website is generally easier than building fully
fledged computer version. This is because it generally contains less content
and less visual features due to limited screen real estate of mobile devices.
Limited performance of mobile devices also poses a challenge especially when
dealing with flash and design rich in media. Also, all mobile devices are
different in their screen resolution, dots per inch of their screens, hardware
capabilities, and the software they run. Also a mobile user may turn their
screen sideways which will affect the aspect ratio of how your website is
displayed. Your code needs to take all this into account and be flexible.
The first step in creating a web page, mobile or
otherwise is to identify what your target audience wants. This largely depends
on the type of your website. If you are providing a SaaS (software as a
service) website, then it can be said with a fair amount of confidence that the
majority of your users will be visiting your site to access their account and
receive such a service over their mobile website.
This is just enough to reach the current status quo of
mobile websites. Ideally you would want to make it stand out and be innovative,
and provide a special something to your audience that makes your site stand out
and be spoken of. Skygate Media is a high end website design company
that takes all these issues into account when building client websites. They
are dedicated to providing a high impact portal to your business and to
strongly communicate your corporate message.
