cell phone enabled web site
What's it take to view a video or picture that's on line with a cell phone
Do I simple have to have a separate size for cell phones? Is there a way to send cell phone users to a page made for cell phones Is there a script that sets everything up for you?

I think this may be the code... Code:

Hi T Pat,
I really want to do a mobile site because presumably if you're the first in then there is a greater chance of making money. Having said that, IMHO mobile is all fucked up because of lack of standards and fragmentation. The British magazine, Practical Web Design (Issue 178) has a great article on designing sites for mobile. [I think the magazine might be called .Net in the States.] If you're serious about it then it is well worth the read. My mini summary of it would be this: - There are no standards. - You can adopt one of the following strategies: 1) Lowest common denominator (i.e. pics of 120px size) 2) Create a baseline of phones you'll support with Wireless CSS OR table based pages. 3) Only support the latest phones which will have full mini-browsers and video (iphone / (Google) Andriod [coming this fall] / Phones with Opera) To answer your direct questions: What's it take to view a video or picture that's on line with a cell phone Fine, I've viewed NaughtyAmerica's 5 minute iPod movie verions just fine on my phone. If I were a "young buck" I'd wack off to it! Do I simple have to have a separate size for cell phones? See my comments above. Is there a way to send cell phone users to a page made for cell phones I don't know. I suspect a text link would do it. I can certainly open URLs in email on my Blackberry browser. Is there a script that sets everything up for you?[/quote] I have seen a script that determines from the referrer info what kind of page to send someone but I am afraid I've lost the link. Look up mobile, referrer, script -- maybe add Symbian or some other phone OS. That should find it for you. Here are some links: dotMobi Mobile Web Developers Guides Designing For The Mobile User Experience W3 Mobile Web Initiative Good luck! |
