Tools to Make Your Website Work on Mobile Platforms

One thing that I have not mentioned and which may make you decide that you need to go forward with creating a mobile site is the iPad.  Remember that it, too, uses a difference rendering.

Having said that, here is a list of great tools to use to validate whether your site old or new renders well on mobile devices:

www.ipadpeek.com – See how your site looks on an iPad.  Because flash works on this site, your need to disable the flash plug-in to be fully accurate.

www.iphonetester.com – See how your site looks on an iPhone.

www.iphoney.,com – same as above

http://validator.w3.org/mobile - Shows how mobile-friendly your site is and checks against W3C compliance.

http://www.google.com/gwt/n - Makes the page mobile-web-friendly by rimming the content down to its bare essentials.

http://www.gomez.com/mobile-rediness-instant-test - This mobile readiness test gives you a score between one and five based on an analysis of over thirty proven mobile web development techniques.
