Mobile Sites for Phone Viewing - Really?

Posted By Jenn Brockman on May 20, 2008 @ 11:46 am

I had someone try to place an order using her Blackberry several months ago. It didn’t work quite right and the order didn’t go all the way through.  I hadn’t ever though of using a phone or mobile device to order products from the Internet because I don’t use my own phone to do this.

It has had me thinking though since then and wondering if a site looks the same on a phone as it does on a computer. Are there actually mobile websites that are designed and made specially for this purpose?

Yep, there are. I still don’t know much about it but I did find some information on wap sites.
Apparently a website designed for viewing on a computer screen won’t show up the same way on a mobile device and I’m not too surprised.

Now, I’ll have to figure out if it’s worth adding this type of thing to my own regular website.
