Hi guys Could anyone shed some light on this for me? I'm planning a sort of html5 games website, and I really need to understand how this works before I proceed. Thank you very much in advance! |

There are a couple of instructional videos about mobile sites listed on http://www.everwebapp.com/support/video-tutorials/index.html page. You can create a version of your site for computers and tablets using the Full Width widgets and a separate version for phones. Another way is described HERE. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Hi Tom, It determines if a page is on a mobile device based on the size of the screen. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

Thank you for your answers guys! @Paul-RAGESW - Does it use the actual physical dimensions o the screen (inches/centimetres), or are we talking about resolution? Most of my devices are 1080p, just like my laptop - so as far as resolution goes, the new smartphones have the same resolution as most laptops. |

It is based on screen size. As an example, consider an iPhone 6/7 ... The screen size is 375 x 667 It is a retina device so the resolution is 750 x 1334 The two most important issues with a "mobile" site are readability and touch compatible. Can you read the content without zooming in and can you interact with controls and links easily with a fingertip? Avoid text links and use tabs with a minimum height of 32px and a minimum width of 32px for fingers and 42px for thumbs. Google's minimum height for links is 28px. Anything below that is penalised. Make sure slideshows and audio and video players can be swiped or tapped. Do NOT use hovers. The browsers all have a means of testing for various devices and you can download the iOS Simulator. See THIS page for info about testing. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Hi @Roddy Thank you again for your reply and the tips. My main issue lies with the screen size question. For example a galaxy s7 is 1920x1080 pixels + I don't think it uses 'retina' system. Does this mean, it will be considered a tablet? |

We are really talking about viewport size. Check out the dimensions for your device HERE.
