10 Ways the Mobile Web is Different

As mobile web browsing becomes more common, it’s increasingly important to design websites for mobile use as well as for desktop browsing. This can mean anything from tweaking your regular site so it looks OK on Android and iOS devices, through to CSS media queries, responsive layouts, and even completely separate websites for mobile users.

The question is: How do you make a website work well on a mobile browser? It helps to start out by thinking about how the mobile browsing experience differs from desktop browsing. In this article I’ll touch on 10 important factors that make the mobile web different, and show how you can use those factors to influence your mobile site design decisions.

jQuery Mobile: What Can It Do for You?

jQuery Mobile: What Can It Do for You?

jQuery has long been a popular JavaScript library for creating rich interactive websites and web apps. However, since it was designed primarily for desktop browsers, it doesn’t have many features specifically designed for building mobile web apps.

jQuery Mobile is a new project that addresses this shortfall. It’s a framework built on top of jQuery that provides a range of user interface elements and features for you to use in your mobile apps.

The framework is pretty cutting-edge at the time of writing — in fact, the first alpha version was only released last month — but it’s already possible to do some great things with it.

In this article I’ll look at some of the key features and benefits of jQuery Mobile, and show some examples of how this new framework can help you build top-quality mobile apps in next to no time.

For best results, you’ll probably want to view the examples in this article with a mobile device such as iPhone or Android. Alternatively, Safari on the desktop (with a narrow window width) makes a good substitute.

Let’s go!
