Web Design for Mobile Devices

The number of hand-held and mobile devices used for shopping and searching the internet continues to grow rapidly.

Still, not all businesses need to go mobile now. Certainly retailers, restaurants, and other core consumer providers need separate mobile sites. Others may only need to optimize their desktop sites for the smaller screen.

Your overall approach to a mobile site should begin with the user. What features are they looking for? What devices are they using? What is making it more difficult for them to use your site? Asking these types of questions can lead to a better understanding of the design of the site.

Another big factor is the typical mobile user experience. Keep in mind the context of usage - they're on the go, manipulating a very small screen, usually in short bursts of activity. They're also looking for what's close to their location, what's local.

These considerations and others dictate the design process. More completer discussions of mobile applications can be found in the blog.
