The mobile web platform has for a long time been neglected because of the nature products in question
. It has been very difficult to create a cross-platform. The mobile website development requires you to create content that is very suitable for multiple devices. With the standardization of the mobile web, it has become possible to develop a website that can be used by most of the mobile phones. Challenges that are being encountered with this technology includes constraints associated with individual devices. This is also one of the problems that are normally encountered when updating the mobile web.
One thing that needs to be done is designing a mobile browser that is acceptable to all devices. The design needs to be unique and capable of being utilized by a range of devices. The availability of WAP 2.0 devices and skilled XHTML has made the desire to have web content be published on the mobile phone. This is what makes it possible for you to access the web on your mobile phone. It is true that more people have access to the mobile phone than the access they have to a desk top. This therefore means that the usage of mobile web is increasing at a very high speed and therefore the desire to view web content on the mobile phone is also on rise.
Currently, accessing web content on the phone is inconsistent and hence there is need for more research on the mobile website development. The web content on the mobile phone can only be useful if it is placed in the right context so that it becomes easy to manipulate and process the data for use. Unlike the desk top where you have a key board and a mouse to help you input data in to it and a big screen to help you access the web data, the mobile web data has some challenges with a limited screen which makes it impossible to access large information. Therefore, the mobile web development must address these challenges to make the mobile platform perform as efficiently as a desk top.
The introduction of Wireless application protocol 2.0 which utilizes XHTML language has made the mobile web development move from where it was a few years ago. The fact that it is now possible to translate WAP1.0 to WML and WAP2.0 to XHTML is advantageous and has made mobile web development easier for those whose area of specialization was not in the mobile development.
The fact that XHTML has come with extensive resources and information that make it very easy to develop a website application for the mobile has made it easy for the developers to tailor the web to specific mobile phone requirements.
