Just used Welcome to dotMobi | dotMobi to send a
screen capture of a prospect's website.

It didn't look good through it.

She says it works fine thru her iphone.

So, is there a better simultor than Welcome to dotMobi | dotMobi

Thanks guys

Oddly I was just perusing some old threads and people say this one is great:

Mobilizer | Springbox

Yes, I've tried most of the ones available and the one I keep coming back to is Mobilizer. It lets you view it on 4 different phone models AND you can take screenshots right from within the program so it's a nice time saver.

Well I used Mobilizer and and the only response I get
was "my website is working fine with my x".

Back to the drawing board.

I followed up with her and here what she said...

" We had our web page changed a year ago to reflect more use by phones and iPads."

We are meant to be the experts and it makes us look a fool when they come back to you like that.

Best,

Ewen,

Why don't you run her so called mobile friendly website through the official W3C mobile validator and see what score it gets:

W3C mobileOK Checker

I am betting her 'mobile friendly' site is not as mobile friendly as she thinks it is. It's not just to do with looks it's also largely to do with speed and the type of information mobile users are looking for compared to the standard PC user. Does she have big links not bunched together that are easy for touch screen phones to press. Does she have a click to call button that allows people to call her business at the click of a button? Does she have important information such as a map, opening hours, etc all easily found at the click of a button?
