- Avoid some common problems with mobile devices: for example, don’t pop up windows, don’t use nested tables, and don’t use Frames.
- To understand the limitations of mobile devices: Mobile devices generally do not support technologies such as Cookies and Javascript.
- Optimize navigation: Use a clear, concise, minimal navigation system.
- Check graphics and colors: Do not use high-resolution images. Check graphics based on the possible screen size, resolution, and supported colors and contrast of the mobile device to make sure they display properly.
- Be small: The page display size, file size, and CSS size should be as small as possible.
- Save bandwidth: Do not use automatic refresh, redirection and other technologies. Don’t reference too many external resources and make good use of page caching.
- To facilitate user input: The input method of mobile devices is very difficult to use, so it is necessary to provide convenient assistance for user input as much as possible.
- Consider those busy users: Busy users have limited time, and the information provided by mobile Web should be concise and clear.
