This document specifies best practices for the development and delivery of Web applications on mobile devices.

- history

This document defines the tests that provide the basis for making a claim of W3C® mobileOK™ Basic conformance and are based on W3C Mobile Web Best Practices [Best Practices]. The details of how to claim mobileOK conformance will be described separately. Providers of content which passes the tests have taken some steps to provide a functional user experience for users of basic mobile devices whose capabilities at least match those of the Default Delivery Context (DDC).

mobileOK Basic primarily assesses basic usability, efficiency and interoperability. It does not address the important goal of assessing whether users of more advanced devices enjoy a richer user experience than is possible using the DDC.

français

This document specifies Best Practices for delivering Web content to mobile devices. The principal objective is to improve the user experience of the Web when accessed from such devices.

The recommendations refer to delivered content and not to the processes by which it is created, nor to the devices or user agents to which it is delivered.

It is primarily directed at creators, maintainers and operators of Web sites. Readers of this document are expected to be familiar with the creation of Web sites, and to have a general familiarity with the technologies involved, such as Web servers and HTTP. Readers are not expected to have a background in mobile-specific technologies.

Notes

This document identifies the issues surrounding use of transforming proxies in the delivery of Web content. It does not comment on the techniques that cause these issues, it merely identifies them in order to inform the requirements of the Content Transformation Guidelines document. That document is to offer recommendations as to how components of the delivery context can cooperate to achieve, at a minimum, a functional user experience.
