- When a smartphone accesses a website that's not mobile optimized, the website appears as a much smaller version of itself. Building a mobile-optimized site using larger-sized text will make your site easier to read on the small screen of a smartphone. Also take into account the amount of space larger text will fill up, so use shortened phrases and link lengthy descriptions to their own pages.
- Setting the size of images to be used on a mobile site can be a tricky process. Images with too low of a dpi (dots per inch) will appear in low resolution and look pixelated. However, using large image sizes like those on desktop websites can take a long time to load.
Eliminate Flash, Java
If you're looking to build a truly dynamic retail mobile site, you may want to approach it as you would your online site with Flash and Java. However, Apple's mobile devices do not support Flash, Java, frames, pop-ups and other similar elements. Though Flash is now being used in mobile applications, sites accessed through a browser still cannot display any sort of animation with Flash.
