W3C Mobile Web Application Best Practices

Spare the network

Use appropriate Web protocol features to reduce network bottlenecks and latency.

Set users free

Mobile devices are used in various contexts, from killing time at home to urgent requests on the go.
Let users know and control what happens to earn their trust.

Remember Web principles

Mobile devices are just one way to access the Web.
Generic Web principles also apply to the development of robust mobile Web applications.

Design for flexibility

Web applications are run in evolving and heterogeneous environments.
Flexibility allows you to address more devices and users at reduced cost.

Exploit mobile-specific features

Some Web technologies are particularly relevant to mobile devices.
Learn to use them.

Optimize response time

Every detail matters in mobile Web applications and some technical points may significantly boost the overall user experience.

Mobile specific? Huh?

These best practices are ubiquitous.
Besides, mobile has become the norm.
