Book description
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.
