Optimising for iPhone

The iPhone brings a much improved mobile surfing experience

With the continuing success of the iPhone and the huge improvements in the mobile internet experience as a result, it’s time to start thinking about optimising content for iPhones.

Up until the iPhone arrived designers and developers were using WordPress Mobile Plugin or redirect mobile traffic to a subdirectory.

When designing for the iPhone consider the following:

Flash

Don't use Flash. iPhone can't handle it yet.

Text

Use text rather than images.

Make forms nice and large

Although iPhone handles form filling neatly, it's best to make them larger.

Test it

Load your website onto your iPhone to test it.
