A mobile Web site is one that has been specifically designed to run on a mobile Web, or WAP browser. The most common device used to view WAP sites is a mobile phone. The www.diylegals.com.au Web site is Wireless Enabled which means that you can access it through your mobile phone.

The following image shows how our site would look on a Nokia 6270 mobile phone.

Of course the visual experience of the mobile site is not expected to be in the same class as viewing the site through a regular browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Some of the main differences you can expect to see between our regular site (access via http://www.DIYlegals.com.au ) and our mobile WAP site include the following:

The mobile site has screen resolutions more in the order of 120 pixels wide, whereas the regular site viewed on your desktop or laptop computer is in the order of approximately 1024 pixels wide. Therefore, because of this huge difference, changes have to be made for the WAP site to be viewable.
Because of this width constraint menus are placed at the top of pages, and they need to flow vertically and not horizontally.
Images are a great problem and can be miniaturised or even not used at all. Not using images means cheaper and faster Internet connections for mobile phone viewers, and we have chosen to go down that road with our DIYlegals.com.au site.
On a mobile site it is important that clarity and speed are key componets. This means that all the nice colours and fancy design of the regular site will not be found on the mobile site.
