Mobile Website Development Using Dot Net Framework

AbstractMobile phones are increasingly becoming pervasive in India. Every month more than 5 million new users are added to the ever growing mobile population. So many companies want to make website which are open on mobile. A good website is important in the success of the Business. That is why there is a good deal of time spent in making the perfect website. A Website contains all information. The framework contains three user activity categories identical to previous stationary Web studies: information seeking, communication, and transaction, and a new category: personal space extension. The new category refers to the practice that people put their content on the Web for personal access, therefore extending their personal information space. When we are developing mobile website, we understands all the strategy of the business then we decide which technology are use for developing mobile website. The mobile screen is small so very important to best designing of website that means we are manage all the content of the website and which are fit on the screen. In our search paper we are discussing how to make best mobile website and understand all the important points for developing website using dot net framework .In our search paper we are find solutions of the problems which are come when we are developing mobile website and describe how to use dot net framework for developing mobile website.

Introduction:These days mobile devices are part of our life style and most of us cant live without them. When these mobile devices are connected to the Internet, the powers of the mobile devices are endless. We can deliver timely data to the user at any place and any time. For dynamic mobile website, developers used ASP.Net, JSP, PHP, etc. The Mobile Devices includes Cell

Phones, Pocket PCs ,[1] Microsoft introduced a revolutionary application development platform called the .NET Framework. This .NET framework includes ASP.NET (next version of ASP) for Web development. ASP.NET-based Web development supports traditional Web clients such as IE and Netscape as well as mobile clients such as Phone.com, Nokia Cell phones and Pocket PCs. ASP.NET applications can be developed on any .NET enabled language such as VB.NET (Next version of VB), JScript, Managed C++, C# (Pronounced as C Sharp), etc. Mobile website that is develops for a News24. This provides News to customer. We are developing mobile website. Here we states the problems which are find during the initial and final stage of this research paper and we have to find the solutions of these research problems. These problems somewhat related to analysis, web design, development platform and controls which are use for developing website.

Mobile Web Usage

environmental and personal factors. Personal context was the state or condition of the mobile Internet user self, e.g. mental goals and body position. Environmental context was the full set of user outer circumstances, e.g. the physical distractions and other people present. After a diary study, they concluded that people usually used mobile Internet by one instead of two hands, in an indoor environment, with a static position [15, 16]. The abovementioned papers were based on quantitative studies. Such methods, while shedding light on understanding general usage pattern, were not sufficient to inspire new designs [26]. They were likely to ignore the emerging but not-yetnotable trends and the nuanced differences between generic categories. Chae et al (1998) applied the same methodology, questionnaire survey more specifically, and concluded that mobile users wanted to access Web content with low intensity that had small amount of information delivered at one time, for example, news services [7]. There are also several constructive studies that proposed and evaluated new designs, particularly in the domain of Websites, and mobile terminals [2]. Reflection upon these empirical studies led to several research frameworks. Roto (2006) proposed a framework covering the major user experience factors in the mobile Web: remote Website, mobile terminal, and connections . Palen et al

(2002) summarized the wireless system containing four sociotechnical components: hardware, software, "netware" (operator services), and "bizware" (price issues) . Jones et al (2006) emphasized the importance of information ecology the device ecosystem where the mobile Web resides in.

information. It is also show that page titles, meaningful heading and signed pages.

Analysis:It is very important part of mobile

Development Platform:Many platform are available for develop mobile web site. In this research paper we are describe how to use the Dot Net Platform .it is best platform for develop the site. When we are creating web page we are firstly inheriting the mobile page namespace into the ASP.NET page object. If we dont do it, ASP.NET will follow its usual page handling defined for regular web applications.

Web Design:The website is the collections of web pages which are interact to the users. In this paper we are accustomed to a variety of navigation schemes on the Web such as menus located on the sides of the main page content. Most common method of creating mobile navigation schemes is to use a simple vertical list. [3]You can design this list in many ways using style sheets or images. Web Design highlights the need of relevant, useful, interesting, up-to-date and accurate

Controls:[3]Mobile controls can be grouped into two main groups. They are User

Interface (UI) controls and Validation Controls. In this research paper we are describe advantage of controls. The main advantages controls the .NET runtime will take care of the paging for the targeted device. The pagination is handled differently for each different Mobile control. For example, for the List control, the pagination is handled by the Page Size property of the control. This property is set automatically based on the target device. When the paging takes place at runtime the controls included in the panel control will stay together.

In our research paper we are describe how to develop mobile website using dot net platform. Same problems are come when we are developing mobile website these problems may beWhat to analyze? How to set screen size and their content? How to page which displays same text on the mobile? How to use mobile control? We are tried to solve these problems and we are take many assumption which may be right or wrong.

Hypothesis
Our study followed a constructive approach in gathering user data, understanding existing user practices and emerging trends to guide concept designs. We did not assume a predefined framework before the study. Instead, all the frameworks emerged from user data inspection, affinity diagram analysis, and brainstorming sessions. Apparently, this method could suggest interwoven categories. Therefore, we inspected all the emerging themes rigidly to produce the Mobile Web Activity Taxonomy. The Web has revolutionized how we interact with and publish information, but up to now it has only been accessible to people with desktop devices. Web-enabled mobile phones now extend the expected global reach of the Web to three times

Communication
Communication remains the first and foremost function of a mobile phone and its horizon has further expanded by Internet access. In our study, we spotted several cases of voice services such as Skype and Fring, but far more textual communications. Some of the Internet communication took place on Web sites, e.g. Web mail or online communities, some other outside the Web, e.g. push email, or instant messaging. In this section, we mainly focus on the Web-based textual communications, but also cover some non Web-based activities to present a complete picture of communication via the Internet.

Problem Statement

that of today, touching one-third of the population1 of the planet. Researcher decides to analyze the selected text that is relevant to web usability. The main objective is to identify as many as possible the web usability criteria within the text. Web Design highlights the need of relevant, useful, interesting, up-todate and accurate information. It is also show that page titles, meaningful heading and signed pages. The goal of this guide is to provide developers and site owners with enough knowledge to get started with the creation of Web content for mobile users. It covers the benefits of publishing for mobile users, how mobile delivery differs from desktop delivery and how to design for the mobile context. Before now, Web publishing for mobile users has been something of a mystery, partly because of a lack of information. This guide forms part of dotMobis efforts to change this by providing authoritative and comprehensive guides, best practices and methods and other material describing how to publish for mobile. The guide aims to provide an introduction for those not familiar with the Mobile Web. It contains techniques and information required to create a basic site that will work

well on the majority of phones. It is not an encyclopedia of past and present technologies and techniques, but provides a place to start. Although using a .mobi domain is recommended as a clear way to indicate to the user that a site is mobile-friendly, the advice presented here applies to any mobile site. The Internet is now more than a PCbased phenomenon; with close to 3 billion mobile phones worldwide, the reality is that many peoples first Internet experience will soon occur on a mobile device. As this trend evolves it is vital that the commercial world adapts with it, or faces being left behind. With mobile devices fast becoming the primary interface to the Internet, business opportunities are ripe. This paper discusses the background to the Mobile Web, how a business can best leverage the opportunities available, the best practices of doing so, and the next generation of the Mobile Web. My Assumption after Study of all research paper is:When considering a Web presence targeted at mobile users, the first question to ask is, Why should it be mobile? Simply having the content and the ability to mobilize it is not on its own, enough you should focus on providing content that is directly useful to a mobile user and takes

account of the differences in device characteristics. After asking Why?, ask What content should I make mobile? What need do I serve by making my content available to mobile users? What value does it add to their lives from a mobile perspective? While building the mobile information architecture, think about users click investment. Even at 3G speeds data retrieval on a mobile phone takes significantly longer than we are accustomed to on a desktop PC. It doesnt take long for users to become frustrated with lengthy sequences of retrievals, and give up. So getting this right is extremely important. The best advice for creating strong mobile information architecture is to keep it as simple as possible. The following two approaches work well when structuring your IA for mobile presentation: Limit choices-Take the content thats relevant to a mobile user and discard the rest. This results in a simple and focused IA that cuts down the risk of the user getting lost. This approach works well with small, focused sites.

Create simple site drilldown architecture, nesting content into well-labeled categories. While this sounds straightforward, its necessary to plan carefully before taking this approach. A typical Web site has subpages - users follow a link to reach the sub-page. This is drilling down to find the information the user seeks on the Web site.

Click Streams:An important difference between developing for mobile and developing for the desktop is creating the right flow of information for the user. Due to the limited screen size, the mobile designer might need to spread out information into multiple pages rather than present it on one page. A welldesigned click stream is an important concept in mobile design and development.

Mobile Website Dos and Donts:-

Due to issues such as small screen sizes, slower download speeds and device incompatibility, industry standards around the Mobile Web are imperative. With the rush to create mobile websites we are seeing a wide variance in the quality of the websites created - from the captivating to the single static page. The W3C and dotMobi have both released guidelines for mobile website development. These are intended to communicate to website developers how to improve the user experience, thus ensuring that the Mobile Web is more reliable and accessible. The W3C and dotMobi guidelines include catering for these challenges as well as a renewed focus on website efficiency. These key elements are: Showing multiple levels of navigation within your list usually doesnt work well because it gives users too many options and consumes valuable screen area. A better way is to show only the options related to the page theyre viewing. However, you should provide escape points, either as links to the next section, to the parent section, to the home page or all of the above. These links usually work best at the bottom of the page and allow the user to move on without scrolling back to the top of the screen. Minimizing the number of clicks. An additional click may be a minor irritation on a PC, but on a mobile phone it is a bigger issue, information is expected quickly.

Reducing the number of kilobytes in each downloaded page.

Delivering specific information. Mobile devices are currently less likely to be used for general browsing but

more for retrieving specific information. The biggest user frustrations with the Mobile Web are: 1. Site Load Time. 2. Site Navigation. 3. User Friendliness. 4. Web Page Layout. Clearly, site load time can be improved by the telecoms providers providing additional bandwidth. However, companies can differentiate their websites from competitors by reducing page sizes and addressing the three remaining issues, where they have direct control. Another possible solution is to allow the user to customize the website so that each user is only sent the information relevant to them. Applications now exist to allow companies track what their customers do on their mobile website.

Obtain a competitive advantage. The easily-realized benefits of developing a mobile website include: Enforced brand awareness. New communications method via the worlds most personal technology. New business and revenue possibilities Worldwide, mobile phone penetration rates are expected to surpass the 50% mark in 2008. With penetration figures in excess of 100% being reported in many industrialized countries, it is evident that the mobile device is about to become the dominant interface to the Internet. Consequently, it is also apparent that every company needs to have a mobile presence. Not just technical oriented companies but now, with potential customers actively using the Mobile Web, nontechnically focused businesses have to cater for the mobile market. Potential customers surfing the Mobile Web will be more disposed to companies who have mobile websites that they can easily find and view. [6]It cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach. Companies must target specific demographic groups with information and applications that meet the needs and fire the imaginations of the users. As with the PC Internet,[6] Nubiq fully expects there to be a number of challenges in the growth of the Mobile Web.

Conclusion:Statistics indicate that the Mobile Web is growing at a faster rate than was seen in the 1990s for the fixed Internet. According to Informa, new services and technologies will be instrumental in breaking down the barriers to Mobile Web adoption and building an estimated 2 billion Mobile Web usage market by 2010. Companies with standards-compliant search-optimized websites will clearly

Key applications for social interaction, and mobile website search and discovery, such as [6]Zinadoo Directories, are predicted to be a vital catalyst for the expected explosion of the Mobile Web onto the market.

this also throws up numerous usability issues. The Mobile Web offers convenient made for mobile content that is truly optimized for a mobile device.

Future Of Mobile Website:[8]According to John Tysoe, the founder of Mobile World (June 2007), It took Over 20 years to connect the first billion subscribers [to the fixed Internet], but only 40 months to connect the second billion. The 3 billion milestones will be passed in July 2007, just two years on. With other experts, such as Google CEO Eric Schmidt, recently predicting a huge revolution in the Mobile Web space, a bright future looks certain. Statistical predictions for the Mobile Web also indicate fast growth, with the demographic of Mobile Web users being much more that a teen phenomenon. The Online Publishers Association reveals a relatively even Demographic spread across various age profiles; Over the past year, the introduction of the[8] iPhone onto the market has caused A considerable stir in the industry, some suggesting it would be to the Detriment of the future of the Mobile Web, many believing it serves a different purpose to a more niche market. While the [8] iPhone offers the full Internet on a handheld device,
