With the gradual
proliferation of touchscreen smartphones starting in the late 2000s,
more and more users are now browsing the Web on their mobile devices
instead of desktop computers, necessitating a shift towards designing
web pages to have readily available mobile versions. This has been
dubbed by some observers as the emergence of Web 3.0, which is rooted
in mobile accessibility.
Mobile-friendly
features entail compressing a web page to dimensions compatible with
mobile devices without losing any valuable data. This is a
considerable technical challenge: for instance, the typical social
networking site page displays information such as (but not limited
to) images, latest postings, event updates, links to other pages, log
in/out buttons, and personal information.
Aside from the
accessibility of information, designers need to take into account the
touchscreen functions as well as the differences among a wide variety
of mobile devices and browsing software. Designers also have to
guarantee proper coding so that the website does not cause any
unwanted events, such as crashing browsers or devices.
The web designers’
task in the Web 3.0 era is to ensure that their clients’ pages are
accessible to visitors anytime, anywhere, using any device. For those
who do not want to get left behind, this is one bandwagon they
wouldn’t want to miss.
