Mobile Web The mobile web refers to access to the world wide web, i.e. the use of browser-based Internet services, from a handheld mobile device, such as a smartphone or a feature phone, connected to a mobile network or other wireless network. Traditionally, access to the Web has been via fixed-line services on laptops and desktop computers. However, the Web is becoming more accessible by portable and wireless devices. An early 2010 ITU (International Telecommunication Union) report said that with the current growth rates, web access by people on the go — via laptops and smart mobile devices – is likely to exceed web access from desktop computers within the next five years.[1] The shift to mobile Web access has been accelerating with the rise since 2007 of larger multitouch smartphones, and of multitouch tablet computers since 2010. The Mobile Web has also been called Web 3.0, drawing parallels to the changes users were experiencing as Web 2.0 websites proliferated.[2][3][4] Mobile access[edit]

設計行動裝置網頁(Mobile-Web)的10個要素 [image credit:Basecamp mobile] Mashable的Brian Casel(@CasJam)是一個網頁設計師, 他觀察到網路行動化的趨勢越來越值得被重視,因為使用手機上網的人比以前多了很多,這對網頁設計者以及網頁擁有人來說意味著甚麼呢? Casel告訴我們以後除了電腦版的網頁,也要做出一個對應手機或行動裝置的網頁。 我們整理編譯了Casel給網頁設計者的十個重要提醒,包括了設計過程,設計策略及實際操作,希望大家在設計及推出網頁的時候先認真地研究一番手機網頁及電腦網頁的不同。 1 確立網頁設計的內容,方向及類型 執行一個網頁設計的計劃前先要確定的一些方向: 全新網頁設計-是為某產品/品牌做一個新的網頁,包括電腦頁面及行動裝置頁面嗎? 以上3個不同的情況都有不同的設計策略,是網頁設計者開始做網頁設計前必須要釐清的。 2 確定公司/品牌所要表達的形象 很多時候,網頁設計者/開發者需要為公司設計一個網頁,因此首要注意的是公司的形象及產品的特色,Casel舉了hyundai汽車網頁來做例子: 當我們進入hyundai(hyundai.com)汽車的網站,立刻看到的是他們汽車的大圖,目的就是要給消費者一個鮮明的汽車形象,讓大家知道他們的汽車外型有多吸引人: 接著我們看到行動版本的網頁,表達的內容跟電腦版網頁一樣,汽車的形象依然清楚的呈現在消費者面前,沒有太多複雜的界面,因為Hyundai公司對網頁的訴求就是要用鮮明的汽車圖片抓住消費者的目光。 以上是Hyundai.com的網頁,如果我們用手機及電腦上Hyundai.com,會出現的畫面不會是上面的示範,而會Hyundai.com/TW/en, 而台灣版的網頁在我們實際研究下,似乎就跟上面Hyundai.com的版本有點落差。 3 在設計行動裝置版網頁前務必預測網站流量 如果是要用舊有的電腦版網站為藍本,重新設計行動裝置版的網頁(目前這種案例居多),建議先用Google Analytics或其他測量網頁流量的工具來作一些訪客背景調查,能夠掌握越多關於網站訪客的資料越好, 例如:大部分訪客是用甚麼樣的裝置或瀏覽器來看網站的? 4 學習如何設計可自動調整版面的網頁設計(Responsive Web Design) 5 簡單,但不能簡陋 6 網頁模板建議採用單欄式設計(Single-Column Layouts) 7 善用摺疊式目錄

Responsive Web Design The English architect Christopher Wren once quipped that his chosen field “aims for Eternity,” and there’s something appealing about that formula: Unlike the web, which often feels like aiming for next week, architecture is a discipline very much defined by its permanence. Article Continues Below A building’s foundation defines its footprint, which defines its frame, which shapes the facade. Working on the web, however, is a wholly different matter. But the landscape is shifting, perhaps more quickly than we might like. In recent years, I’ve been meeting with more companies that request “an iPhone website” as part of their project. A flexible foundation#section1 Let’s consider an example design. But no design, fixed or fluid, scales seamlessly beyond the context for which it was originally intended. In short, our flexible design works well enough in the desktop-centric context for which it was designed, but isn’t optimized to extend far beyond that. Becoming responsive#section2 media types

32 Examples of Usable Mobile Website Layouts The mobile web is clearly changing the way we think about layout design. Even back just 5 or 10 years ago there were barely any developers working on a solution for mobile. Now it seems everybody is doing their Internet surfing on some type of smartphone device. This process can be difficult without a bit of inspiration.
