HTML Question

[TheJoey]

Hello i have a question, if i was to make a website userfriendly and mobile friendly.. how would i go about doing so..

What are a few tips or guides i can follow

 

For example if i was going to make it so dialup users would have close to no problems loading the website and people on iphones would be able to use it effieciently.

Your questions are really way beyond the scope of what can be answered with one thread.

 

So I'll give you the summaries:

 

To optimize for mobiles as well as PCs: serve up a separate CSS stylesheet for each media type, using the media attribute.

To optimize for people on dialups (do those people still exist?): Compress images. Limit the amount of images you use. Use smaller images rather than larger ones. Set HTTP headers that force documents to cache so they don't have to download as much data on each page load.

To add:

 

- also consider using GZip of which can compress HTML, CSS and JavaScript,

- you should also make sure your CSS and JS files are minified where possible

Well its a question i had trouble understanding..

for example how do you make your website loadup automatically for iphone users when they connect.

 

And for those on slow connections would you still use Jpeg?

There are sites out there that deal in iphone optimizing. You are best to look at them.

 

As for .jpgs, it really depends on the image. Sometimes jpgs are better, sometimes other formats are better.
