The trademark of mobile web design and development content tracing back over a phenomenal growth rate, clearly having had to deal with technicalities along the way, yet now blooming with the software and the hardware advances capable of supporting a true mobile internet. With mobile web content as the building blocks, it is hard to miss its impact in bounding advances.
The mobile website development originally and often still written in WML or Wireless Markup Language, later received the assistance of WAP technology, which acted as a gateway to manage the information now being recoded to binary before sending it on to your mobile device. The three major problems remaining firstly the diversity of hardware amongst the user base, secondly the high latency and thirdly the low bandwidth, it inevitably led to the next generation markup language called XHTML MP, to address these problems specifically.
In displaying a mobile web page, on your iPhone for example, the XHTML MP Markup language being an extension of the commonly used HTML markup language of internet sites, enables your device browser to request a mobile profile variant or mobile version of the site you are visiting for your specific model handset. Understanding the technical limitations of mobile web browsers as well as the users frustration in using a keypad to navigate your mobile web page are key factors to the success of the mobile web content.
In considering the overwhelming problem of the hardware range amongst the user population, which both WML and XHTML MP tries to address along with WAP technology, having pristine and exact coding of the mobile web content, even with fast loading and easy to navigate mobile web pages, is not enough to ensure success.
The intended aim and goal of the mobile website, along with the target market it is going for, is of dual importance to consider when writing the actual content, as it involves the direct access of users with any handset they might have, to the mobile website. Keeping the content the visitor interacts with interesting and relevant will bring the traffic needed for success.
Whether informative guide lines to various topics or more in-depth on specific niche topics, along with anything from entertainment, news, games and a thousand other services or information, could attract visiting traffic. This being a more, design and written-word skill set orientation applied to what the mobile content looks like and how it interacts with the visitor, plays a fundamental role in converting the traffic to currency in the world of mobile web content.
The principle of quality content plus traffic equaling revenue, a basic formula to work with in targeting traffic to the site, has proven that mobile web development and content to be a driving force and momentum of an exponentially growing industry, and will lead the way to a completely wireless and mobile world population.
