Book Description

Publication Date: 13 Dec 2011 | ISBN-10: 0321793811 | ISBN-13: 978-0321793812 | Edition: 1
Everyone has been talking about the mobile web in recent years, and more of us are browsing the web on smartphones and similar devices than ever before. But most of what we are viewing has not yet been updated for mobile presentation. How can designers bring more of the web up to speed with the capabilities of today's mobile devices?

In Mobilizing Web Sites: Develop and Design, author and designer Kristofer Layon addresses that elephant in the room --the many existing web sites that we manage on a day-to-day basis-- and walks through techniques that web designers can use to make these legacy web sites better-suited for mobile viewing. By focusing on content strategy and the mobile UI experience, web designers can use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to design mobile presentations of legacy, standards-based web sites. The techniques of gradual mobile improvement are all that a designer needs to help the existing web be more mobile.

Product Description

Review

"This book reads like a perfectly structured day-long workshop. I like the practicality and humanity in it. Kris isn't a purist or an evangelist. He looks at the continuum of mobile presentation issues, ask you where you are on the continuum, and addresses your there. So don't be daunted by mobile, or wait to design for mobile until you can achieve perfection. Mobile is a journey. Use this book to plot your course." - Jeffrey Zeldman, author, Designing With Web Standards

"Baby steps. Kris's book is filled with them--little but powerful things you can do today to adapt your current site to the changing web and the growing importance of mobile devices. Like real baby steps, they'll open your eyes to new opportunities and ways of seeing the web." - Luke Wroblewski, author, Mobile First

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference for transitioning a desktop website to mobile compatible website 25 Jan 2012
By Gary F - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found this book to be a great reference for creating a mobile version of our company's existing website. This book is not a "mobile first" book which is why I purchased it. I needed some direction on how to take our existing content and make it available in a format that will look good on a mobile device. This book is primarly focused on style sheet changes that you can use to make this type of a conversion. Our main website is not totally standards compliant yet I was still able to apply a lot of the concepts in this book to make the necessary modifications so that we can have an alternate version of our site designed for mobile devices without having to make any changes to the actual content and how it is created. Using the suggestions from this book and eliminating content that did not make sense for a mobile platform, I was able to create a website that allows our company to offer much of our content in a mobile format. We are a website related to the sport of swimming and the site is almost like a news paper site in the sense that we have new text and video content on a daily basis. My only negative comment is that the book was almost 100% geared toward the Apple iPhone environment and I would have liked to have seen some examples that showed results in on an Android device since that is a major part of our target audience. Overall, as a professional software developer, I found this book to be an easy read and a great reference for how to take existing websites and make them more mobile friendly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great intro to make your website ready for mobile 26 Jun 2012
By Ryan Stille - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I found this book to be a great introduction to what is necessary to make a site readable on a mobile device. I learned some easy CSS tips that can be used with an existing site. The book also covers creating new websites that are mobile accessible, and I liked that it covered jQuery mobile as well. Has color screen shots, too. Great book.
