Chapter 24 - Supporting Mobile Devices

Overview

Your website may be optimized for the desktop experience and may need help translating to mobile use. Mobile applications require different, more compact navigational aids, and content must fit into a smaller footprint. Mobile Web sites need "click to call" options to take advantage of cellular technology, a robust search, flexible menus, and quick access to content. Tables and figures may need to be adjusted to avoid unnecessary "pinching" and scrolling.
