The 7 Practical How-to’s for Mobile Content Sites

Design for the Widest Reach

• There are approximately 5200+ mobile devices out there!

• The majority of phone devices share three screen widths;

128, 240 and 176 …..However 120, 130, 160, 208 and

220 pixels are common as well

• Tablets range from 9.7 inches

down to around 4 inches

Take Away: Auto-Optimize

Context Is Everything

• Why is someone going to your mobile website?

• Get to the point – for a mobile viewer

• Keep Scrolling to “3”X

• Call to action above and below

Take Away: Think like a mobile user

Create Location-ships

• Enable their experiences using the viewer’s location

• Make it easy for them to get to your location

• Reward them for stopping by

Take Away: Use the Handset’s Special

capabilities

Design For 2 Thumbs4

• Do create data capture forms

• Don’t make forms very long

• Do use drop-down select boxes

• Do use radio button and select

boxes

• Don’t make them type alot

Take Away: Handsets are small, don’t

frustrate them

to connect with readers and give

depth to published content

erpts
