    "Most Web page layouts rely on design patterns created for laptop and desktop computers equipped with a mouse and keyboard. As the variety of devices being used to access the Web has grown, these patterns haven't been keeping up. Designing for today's Web means considering single-handed thumb use on smartphones, two handed touch interactions on tablets, mouse and keyboard input on traditional PCs, hybrid devices, and more. Web layouts have to evolve to support this new reality."

  • Build a separate mobile-optimized site (or mobile site) if you can afford it. When people access sites using mobile devices, their measured usability is much higher for mobile sites than for full sites.
  • If mobile users arrive at your full site's URL, auto-redirect them to your mobile site.
  • Why Full Sites Don't Work for Mobile Use

  • Mobile-Optimized Sites The complete design guidelines for mobile websites require almost 300 pages, so I can't cover everything here. The basic ideas are to: cut features, to eliminate things that are not core to the mobile use case; cut content, to reduce word count and defer secondary information to secondary pages; and enlarge interface elements, to accommodate the "fat finger" problem.
  • The design challenge is to place the cut between mobile and full-site features in such a way that the mobile site satisfies almost all the mobile users' needs. If this goal is achieved, the extra interaction cost of following the link to the full site will be incurred fairly rarely.

    "Good mobile user experience requires a different design than what's needed to satisfy desktop users. Two designs, two sites, and cross-linking to make it all work."

  • Specifying a Startup Image On iPhone OS, similar to native applications, you can specify a startup image that is displayed while your web application/website launches. By default, this image is a screenshot of the web application with the page that the user has visited the last time. If you want customize it, add a link element to the webpage, like this: <link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" href="/startup.png">Copy this code to the clipboardView plain text1<link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" href="/startup.png">
  • All these tips only works for web pages that have been saved to the home screens and opened from there, if you access to your website using safari you don’t have this customizations. Remember also that any new link will be open in new browser tab so you lost these settings.
  • if you click on a post link you will be redirect to safari
