Meagan Fisher @FOWD – Designing Effective Mobile Interfaces
The number of mobile web users is increasing at around 20% per month.
“The mobile web is a hot topic”
Mobile web design seems really scary – I can relate to that.
Meagan is highly recommending Cameron Moll’s mobile web design book.
There are three levels of mobile support
- “naked” – “ad some style” – “deck it out”
Recommend “deck it out” - although it has downsides of adding another site to maintain, and has the most initial design work.
Start simple and iterate to better design
Step 1 : Write clean accessible HTML – designing with web standards - Jeffery Zeldman
Step 2 : Mobilize your layout – One column, no large images
Step 3 : Stay Branded – Header graphic, colours, typography
