  • 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

  • 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."

  • There's no need to declare this "the year of mobile." If anything, last year was the year of mobile in terms of the growth in both mobile usage and the availability of mobile sites and apps. Now, however, it's time to redesign your mobile site, because your existing version is probably far below users' growing expectations for user experience quality.
  • In addition to user testing, we also conducted 2 rounds of diary studies to discover how people use mobile devices in their everyday life. One diary study was in the U.S.; the other included participants from Australia, The Netherlands, Romania, Singapore, the U.K., and the U.S. In total, 27 people participated in the diary studies, providing us data about 172 person-days of mobile activities. Again, participants had a wide range of jobs, from bookkeeper to football coach.
  • It's interesting to consider the difference between mouse-driven desktop design and gesture-driven touchscreen design here. Desktop websites have a strong guideline to avoid horizontal scrolling. But for touch-screens, horizontal swipes are often fine. Indeed, mobile-device users typically expect to horizontally swipe their way through a carousel.
