The dawn of mobile Internet access has sparked the mettle of many internet enthusiasts as it presents a new hobby and as well as a profitable career. However, many of these enthusiast believe that the basics of web design have been altered and ultimately simplified to custom fit many of the different phones that keep popping up one after another.

And this belief is more than true. As phone screens are limited, this implies that creating the web design will be more than just a challenge to the enthusiast as they ll be fitting the screen, editing the content while making sure the customer is kept interested in the site. This article will tackle how to design a basic type of mobile phone web design in easy steps:

1. Know the language. While you are more than experienced in your HTML programming, XTML or Extensible HTML will provide more options for you at less the graphic space. Macromedia s Dreamweaver will be of great assistance to this field as well. The problem with this though is your preference on how to present it. The fundamentals of web design on the computer are that you have to put on the flare and back it up with substance in order to get the audience attention. This time around, you need to simply everything to its core and keep the content very short yet relevant. Keep everything short and simple because people need to use the web and your big, colorful mobile phone web design will not help them focus.

2. Minimalism is key. Lower everything to bits. The graphics, the pictures, the logos and even the way you present your homepage. The recommended size of ll the embedded pictures and graphics no more than 20 kilobytes so saying what you have to say and showing what you have to show will be essential. Knowing the customer s preference in all of this is also note worthy. Remember, the public that you are making the website for don t have time and using the 12 button key just makes everything worse. The screen can only hold the size of, usually, 240x320 so everything from the navigation bar to the end page will have to fit this. White is usually basic color that the designer goes for to keep the audience attention to the navigation details to a maximum.

3. Catch the trend if you can. Change is a variable that only a few web designers can cope up with so designing a web page for every phone that comes out will be a fantasy even for the greatest web designer. You can t please everyone and you won t find it any easier to fit more than four types of phones so choosing a target market will be a good enough solution.

4. Emphasis and navigation is everything. Your mobile phone web design should always take into consideration how the words (and it should mostly be just words) are highlighted, how the navigations bars are few but essential, if there is a back and return to homepage button, if the fonts are easy to read (should be ARIAL) and if words that need bold faces or italics are properly adjusted. This eventually helps the user.
