Has anybody designed a website specifically for phones? Any idea about how to go about this? Im not sure even where to start so all help would be appreciated. Thanks Notting
If your document is semantically correct and designed with CSS—a combination that some are now calling CSS-P—then all you would need to do is add a new style sheet for the "handheld" media type. You can make a point of making the handheld version of your site with fewer or no graphics, and designed for reduced screen sizes.
Here are some useful links: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2004/02/06/mobile_browsing.html http://www.xml.com/pub/a/ws/2003/08/19/mobile.html http://www.alistapart.com/articles/pocket/ Good luck!
If you're designing a web page specifically for mobile phones here are a few things you should read up on... WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) WML (Wireless Markup Language) You should also study the source code of sites that already exist for cell phone users such as... http://wap.ebay.com http://wap.afterdawn.com http://wap.google.com http://wap.yahoo.com
You would probably have to make it and then test it using a cellphone. There may be tutorials online.
