The W3C brings the heat to mobile Web development

Time to move on mobile Internet. The World Web Consortium (W3C), the Old Queen of the Internet, is issuing 60 guidelines for web designers and developers to help them bring out more mobile-friendly websites.

Sixty guidelines that web designers will have to add to the “Switch On!” Web browsing guide that mTLD, the .Mobi domain names. To give a small relief to your readers’ eyes, in fact, most of the guidelines are the same ― Vodafone, Nokia or Google for instance, are members of the W3C and the mTLD.

And add to this, the first public draft on the mobile Web markup language, called DIAL, that the W3C issued a month ago. The Old Lady of the Internet is definitively trying to attract developers’ attention to mobile Web development. So far, A List Apart, the popular resources for web designers, hasn’t been very fond of cellphone displays.
