Design consistent web pages for multiple devices. When designing mobile web pages, various devices must be taken into account to reduce costs and increase flexibility.
Rely on Web Standards: In a market with various devices, Web Standards ensure compatibility between different devices. Avoid some common problems with mobile devices: such as, do not pop up windows, do not use nested tables, and do not use Frames. To understand the limitations of mobile devices: Mobile devices generally do not support technologies such as cookies and Javascript. Optimize navigation: Use a clear, concise and minimized navigation system. Check graphics and colors: Do not use high-resolution images, check graphics based on possible screen sizes, resolutions, and supported colors and contrasts of your mobile device to make sure they display properly. Find the size of the page, file size, and CSS size should be as small as possible. Save bandwidth: Do not use automatic refresh, redirect and other technologies. Don’t reference too much external resources, make good use of page caching. It is necessary to facilitate user input: The input method of mobile devices is very difficult to use, so it is necessary to provide convenient and assistance for user input as much as possible. Consider those busy users: busy users have limited time, and the information provided by mobile Web should be streamlined and clear.
