HomeCheckpoint 1.1 - Mobile-PDA
The site supports a screen width of minimum 120 pixels
DEECD Requirement
DEECD Guideline
Different handsets have different screen resolutions and screen dimensions can vary greatly. If the device audience is known, then development can be better focussed for these devices, however if this is not known or cannot be controlled, it is best to develop for a minimum screen. Screen width is more constraining than screen height (length of page) and presents the greater usability issues.
Requirement
The site supports a screen width of minimum 120 pixels
Recommendation
Note that mobile phones use a vertical (portrait) aspect ratio as opposed to a horizontal (landscape) aspect ratio for web pages served on a browser. Consider this point when designing for maximum use of screen size.
Screen resolution on a mobile is usually quite good, however each pixel is smaller than on a desktop screen. This is due to the higher dots-per-inch (DPI) ratio, and will therefore give you much less space on the screen compared to running the same display on a monitor.
Checking Tool
View the web page in a mobile phone emulator or in a mobile phone.
