Just a point to note, I was at a train station this week and I counted about 30 users on their iphones and mobile phones whilst waiting for the train. All up there were about 50 people waiting. What this means is that over 50% of people are searching for products, services, make bookings or looking up information whist on their mobile phone. Of course, users are SMSing or talking, but from these kind of statistics you should get the idea of where I am coming from.
WHAT ALL THIS MEANS FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY
Nearly all website design in Australia, have not been optimised for these mobile iphone hand sets. Websites traditionally have been specifically designed for desktops without any thought put into the mobile web design and development aspect of the site.
Moving forward, businesses and companies are going to need to take a good long hard look at their marketing and online strategy that now MUST incorporate and integrate mobile web design.
IS THIS A DIFFICULT PROCESS?
A question that is commonly asked, and the answer is simple: NO.
If you look at most of the larger mobile websites online, you will notice that the interface ( basically the way the user interacts with the site), is very simple. Normally, there are only four or five navigation points on these websites meaning the user; who is often on the go and wanting to get information quickly, can get what they want fast. This maeans that converting your web design into a compatible mobile design is not a huge project and in some cases can be done in a couple of days.
SIMPLICITY IS BEST FOR MOBILE IPHONE WEBSITE DESIGN
Keep the design and navigation paths as easy to use as possible and users will keep coming back.
Note that most banking, travel and insurance mobile websites as great examples of simplicity and ease of functionality.
If you have a product based website then a one step process to purchase the products is best. When they land on the mobile website home page there should be a large ' call to action' button saying buy products that should lead them to 1 page that has all these products.
If it is an information or professional services based mobile web design, then all users need to see is a brief bio on you or your business, services you offer( keep this simple) and then a contact button.

If you are running a competition, or trying to promote a brand then make the landing page very visual, keep the graphics strong, with key statements that are large enough to read.
