Everyone has
been talking about the mobile web in recent years, and more of us are
browsing the web on smartphones and similar devices than ever before.
But most of what we are viewing has not yet been updated for mobile
presentation. How can designers bring more of the web up to speed with
the capabilities of today's mobile devices?
|
In Mobilizing Web Sites: Develop and
Design, author and designer Kristofer Layon addresses that elephant in
the room --the many existing web sites that we manage on a day-to-day
basis-- and walks through techniques that web designers can use to make
these legacy web sites better-suited for mobile viewing.
|
By
focusing on content strategy and the mobile UI experience, web
designers can use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to design mobile
presentations of legacy, standards-based web sites. The techniques of
gradual mobile improvement are all that a designer needs to help the
existing web be more mobile.
