A simple mobile emulator for WAP projects can be found here:

http://mtld.mobi/emulator.php?emulator=nokiaN70&webaddress=wap.digitalmediaguerilla.com

Researchers at IDC say that 1.3 billion people will connect to the Internet via mobile phones by 2008. To see your site the same way that millions of mobile phone users do, use the .mobi mobile Emulator, which “emulates” a real mobile phone Internet browser.

Christina Laun from Virtual Hosting dot com has written an article looking at web design guideline based on eye momvement research studies. She has listed 23 guidelines (see Christina’s full post here)

2. Initial eye movement focuses on the upper left corner of the page.
3. Users initially look at the top left and upper portion of the page before moving down and to the right.
4. Readers ignore banners.
5. Fancy formatting and fonts are ignored.
6. Show numbers as numerals.
7. Type size influences viewing behavior.
8. Users only look at a sub headline if it interests them.
9. People generally scan lower portions of the page.
10. Shorter paragraphs perform better than long ones.
11. One-column formats perform better in eye-fixation than multi-column formats.
12. Ads in the top and left portions of a page will receive the most eye fixation.
13. Ads placed next to the best content are seen more often.
14. Text ads were viewed mostly intently of all types tested.
15. Bigger images get more attention.
16. Clean, clear faces in images attract more eye fixation.
17. Headings draw the eye.
18. Users spend a lot of time looking at buttons and menus.
19. Lists hold reader attention longer.
20. Large blocks of text are avoided.

The word “content” is often used to describe text and images that go on websites. There is more to it than just that:

Group 1

1. Buy private web hosting*

2. Buy a domain name

3. Create a website which is an example of your interest in an aspect of MM

Group 2

Take your existing web site and create a mobile version**

(You will be assigned to a group in class)

Due date 15 Nov. (50 Marks) (Detail to follow)

Here are some suggestions for hosting companies:

Sometimes you can get a deal where the hosting and the domain purchase is all handled by one company…who then sort out the pointing/forwarding for you also. Costs are as low as $3pm
