Mobile Wap Designer
The main limitation of mobile phones and devices are the small screens. Not only are the screens small but many also lack a mechanism for horizontal scrolling which can be a real problem when trying to view content on a website. Downloading to the device is also likely to be slow.
Therefore, it is a good idea for the mobile WAP designer to create a site that will be easy as possible for mobile users to use. Try to minimize the use of decorative images and avoid relying on images or plug-ins for navigation. Instead,it is better in some cases to write descriptive text for images and avoid creating dynamic effects that will specifically require a user to have a mouse or keyboard for navigating as this will only cause frustration for your mobile users.
Keep in mind that the physical width of the mobile user's screen is quite small. Whatever you choose to display needs to fit withing this small framework. Try to reduce margins, padding, and border widths. With some layouts it can help if you reduce redundant borders and spacing. Otherwise, they will look squeezed-in on the smaller screens. A good WAP page designer should also take into consideration that any large type required should not be larger than twice the size of your paragraph text and should be limited as much as possible. Viewers will also appreciate it if you keep text blocks as wide as possible by using only small amounts of horizontal spacing.
