A Verizon iPhone is set to be launched anytime soon and users are anxious to get their hands on one of these products. In fact, that isn’t just all that is being talked about in the blogosphere. There are also rumors about two new versions of the iPhone. These are called the iPhone 4G and the iPhone HD.
So where does this sets the webmaster? With the recent advancement of mobile phones, visitors are bound to come and visit through the mobile phones. Websites that are more mobile friendly will prevail. Sites that have features that aren’t making them good for mobile phones on the other hand, may suffer.
Optimizing a website for mobile users requires the webmaster to modify a few factors of their website with one of them being the Flash contents in the website if there is any. The iPhone doesn’t support Flash and neither do most mobile phones. In fact, there aren’t many mobile phone browsers equipped with Flash making everything go to waste. So, it is best to change a Flash content into a HTML.
In addition to that, frames should not be available as well. Their fixed width and height means that everything will look cluttered in a mobile phone. Nobody likes a cluttered content. It makes the task of finding information very hard.
The best way is to create a lighter version of the website so that it will be browsed by a mobile phone. Those that use CMS such as Joomla or WordPress can use some of the mobile extensions available.
