Can it be done easily?

Focused and to the Point

• With mobile usage still growing, designers can focus on the most relevant content for companies

• Mobile constraints force you to design web products that are focused, fast and frequently used

Too much content

• A site designed for a desktop has many distractions

• Gone are all the interface debris, and promotions present on the desktop site

Two years ago over a million touch screen mobile devices were sold .....

that’s a million a day

Accessibility

• Speed is an issue with mobile devices, designers can address that issue first and most importantly. CSS3 and HTML5 can be used by designers to focus on speed

• HTML5 allows the user to view your video regardless of the platform

Mobile design might be a good idea….first
