Headspace Halifax Website Design

Testing mobile browser compatibility - the beginning

This is a bit of a techie article, but still worth checking out.

Here at Headspace, we’ve been specifically commissioned by one of our clients to test and ensure a site we’re developing works well in a mobile browsing (hint, the site we’re doing has a huge Japanese audience).

Like many in the web industry, I see designing interfaces for mobile devices as a clear direction we are headed, with the proliferation of mobile usage, especially among teens. Me? I have an iPhone and I still hate browing on the web, maybe I’m an overly “mature” 25 year old. But nonetheless, many have seemed to not only tolerate, but actually enjoy tweeting, emailing and browsing with their tiny little blackberry key pads.

What do you think? Will designing apps or web pages for mobile devices become as common for businesses as having a website?
