WIRELESS
Why should I have my website designed for wireless devices?
(Explain market trends here)
Why my existing web
is not suitable for wireless devices?
Well consider this
- unlike PC or Apple computers with monitors from 14" and up
wireless devices are coming with a way smaller screens in size and resolution.
I did some quick research and here are my findings:
| Phone |
Screen resolution (w/h) in pixels |
| Motorola Razr |
176x220 |
| Samsung |
240x320 |
| Nokia |
240x320 |
| Treo |
320x320 |
| Sidekick LX |
400x240 (some earlier version 320x240 and 400x208) |
| iPhone |
480x320 |
Your web page
developed for PC or notebook computer will not fit into a wireless
device screen for sure. My daughters are using
Sidekick and both are Internet enabled. On several occasions I was browsing
various pages and had to scroll up/down and left/right to read the pages and
reach information I was looking for.
Many
wireless device manufacturers and software writers are working hard
to squeeze and make the web pages visible on these screens and avoid
at least horizontal scrolling.

Google even has developed its search page for cell phones and
below is the example - I believe no comment needed it speaks for it self enough.
Of course and as in example it is almost impossible to avoid
vertical scrolling unless you cut your page content to just a few basic
information.
I would say vertical scrolling is fine - most of the websites
you have to scroll down even on big screens. |
So here is my solution and sample of my website reduced to the cell phone.

As you can see I did cut the content of my website to a bit more than a basic
information. Also you probably noted in my home page the top paragraph reading
"Click
HERE
for the cell phone or PDA friendly page."
I hope clear enough to point to my home page for wireless
devices until I find solution to automatically detect wireless
device visitor and redirect them to my wireless page. Will post an
update as soon I get the results.
So if you have internet capable cell phone
please visit my sample page at

and if you like it give me a call or email and lets get
started with your wireless web.
