Need Online Cross Browser Compatibility Checker/Site to check look on mobile phones

PasturesNew

Hi

I've got a bunch of WP sites and I have no idea how they look on a mobile phone. I've just added some code that shows up on mobile phones to one of my sites so was keen to see [a] if that turned up in the right spot how it looks.

I'm lookng for an easy website where I can just type in my url and see how it looks on a mobile phone. Don't want to pay/register/join ... just want to have a quick 2 second look on 3-4 of them, then forget it for 2-3 years.

Cheers

I haven't tried this, but it is free so a good place to start.

And the W3 checker is at http://validator.w3.org/mobile/

And this last one apparently lets you see how it looks http://mtld.mobi/emulator.php

Cheers. I guess they're used to seeing sites "not quite right" and so long as it's navigable it's what they're used to

It's difficult when you've never seen Internet on a mobile phone to know/understand what they see and what people these days are used to.

Depends on the phone I suppose.

I have an Android with several browsers so I can view both the main sites and mobile sites. The only problem I find is with sites that are text heavy, as the fonts can seem quite small when viewed on a 4" screen. Zooming to fit the page doesn't often help greatly.

I would suggest that if you are going to have a mobile view, you consider having separate mobile content as well. A synopsis of the articles perhaps, along the lines of the BBC app?

As I've never seen Internet on a mobile phone, nor do I know anybody who has it so I can borrow/look, I've never seen an app and so therefore also not seen the BBC app to know what you mean

for andriod and windows phone you can download the emulators which should give you access to their browers and you should be able to look at your site with them.

I expect you can do the same with ios but I havent checked.
