Mobile Internet
With so many people using internet on smallre handheld systems, it is important that your website is viewable and presentable in such a format.
All my mobile web probjects include the following as standard:
- XHTML confrming to W3C standards
- Backward compatible with WAP only mobile phones
- UTF-8 character encoding for compatability with world wide mobile phones
- Design based on CSS and not out-dated and file-size consuming tables
- Designed to look ideal on all screen sizes, from the average 120px to the massive 640x480 pixel screens
- Tiny page and image sizes for vital quick loading pages
