With the expected launch of the Verizon iPhone, webmasters can expect users with higher speed as the company has one of the best 3G network in the United States. However, it isn’t just the old iPhone that is being in focus today but the rumors surrounding a few new versions of iPhones dubbed the iPhone 4g and the iPhone HD is said to be released soon.
So what does this tell webmasters? In short, it tells them to make sure that their websites are supported by these mobile devices. The surge in the use of mobile phones for browsing means that there will definitely be an increase in the number of people browsing through the sites using their mobile phones.
Webmasters need to get ready by making sure that their websites are properly optimized for these handheld users. One way of doing so is by creating a whole new version of their website for mobile devices. CMS users can rejoice because major publishing systems such as WordPress have tons of mobile plugins available for the webmaster’s disposal.
In addition to that, they also need to make sure that their websites are in compliance with the XHTML and CSS rules made by W3C. This is needed because some mobile browsers cannot deliver out websites that aren’t in compliance properly and the result will just be an increase in the bounce rate.
Therefore, it is important to optimize the site fully so that it will suit the mobile users. The visitors will definitely appreciate this new feature to the website.
