How to make your website iPhone friendly?
Oct 29, 2008 Hacks and Tips, Internet, Tips
Since the advent of 3G-abled phones and smartphones like the iPhone, users have been resorting to mobile browsing to surf the internet. This should also prompt website owners to make their sites and blogs iPhone friendly.
So how to make your website iPhone-friendly?
1. Make your website ‘light’ by avoid using flash, scripts and lots of images that could result to slow-loading time. iPhone users are on-the-go browsers, meaning they need less time to open a website. Besides, not all 3G network providers can provide a fast downloading speed.
2. Use a publishing software optimized for iPhone like WordPress. Further, it is also easy to publish your blog entries using your iPhone using an application called WordPress for iPhones, so it could also be at your advantage using WordPress.
3. Choose your webhost well. Slow-loading time can also be a result of a sluggish web server.
You don’t actually need to create a separate page especially for iPhone users. All you need is a little optimization for your websites to make it iPhone users-friendly.
