A few years ago a cellular phone was used to make and receive calls, and a little while later, to send SMS messages. However, the world of mobile technology has changed extensively and at a rapid pace and now you can carry your entire office in a device that slips into your pocket. With the advances made in the World Wide Web, it was only natural that this technology would also move to cellular phones. Most companies now offer mobile web sites of their companies and this is resulting in huge profits and customer satisfaction.

The history of mobile web sites

The mobile web site as we know it today were been developed by the author Tomi Ahonen along with Joe Barrett, associated with Nokia and Paul Golding from Motorola. Mobile web sites were developed in line with the six Ms – they are:

• Movement (location)
• Moment (time)
• Me (personalisation)
• Multi-user (community)
• Money (payments) and,
• Machines (automation).

While this new technology is a great addition to the mobile world, it doesn’t come without its fair share of problems. Some of the most common problems found with mobile web sites are:

• Small screen size – makes reading text difficult
• Lack of windows
• Navigation – there is no mouse, so scrolling can become cumbersome
• Speed
• Compressed pages – the mobile page and the internet page as vastly different because of needing to fit everything onto a single screen.
