Mobile Websites





When you are on your smart phone and you are browsing on the internet many sites now have a more condense mobile version of their sites. This is great for the customer because it allows the website to be easier to browse and look around on the site. Above is an example of Targets website and mobile website. The top image is the example of targets basic website. As you can see it has more text boxes, pictures, and thing you can do from the home page. The image below is the mobile website for target. The mobile version has similar color patterns and is much more simplistic than Targets main home page.


Recently I have been using my phone more and more to browse the internet and have noticed how helpful these mobile websites can be. However, one website that I wish did have the moible website is PLU. If you go to http://www.plu.edu/ you will see a nice website that is well managed. But on your phone, it takes minutes to completely load and is a major frustration if you are trying to function on the website. Being a PLU student there are many functions on the site that I need to go on. PLU in this regard is behind on the time and should definitely think about getting a mobile website.
