Test mobile friendly

Test any web pages to see if they are mobile device friendly:

You can do a quick check yourself to see if a website page fails certain standards by following the links to the on-line tools on this page.
You can check pages on this site. (If you check this page it will achieve about an 89% pass which is extremely good for a Content Management System page with Flash images and a large amount of text.
We test our websites on actual mobile devices – not emulators which don’t give a true result.
Our pages give excellent results on many devices – please ask for a test result report and we will email it to you.

Don’t forget to check any pages from other sites, including other website design companies!
Or your existing website.

What you need to do first, open the validators:

Each of the following web addresses are independent on-line checking and validating tools.
Copy each address and paste it into a separate open browser window and keep this page open so you can follow the instructions:

Test a website against mobile device requirements:

The W3C mobileOK Checker Tool evaluates mobile-readiness using industry best practices and standards.
It provides a score out of 100 to determine how well a website performs on a mobile device.
All page scores should be well into the last green segment.

Address to copy: http://validator.w3.org/mobile/

Test for valid code, to see whether the html code is free of errors:

Many mobile phones and mobile devices will not display a page if it has got coding errors in it.
The code has to be correct and has to be validated to W3C standards.

Address to copy: http://validator.w3.org/

All our pages get validated.

Now choose a web page, or two to check:

You can copy one of our page addresses (look in the address bar of your web browser) or;
Choose a different company by searching for professional web design companies in a local information business site and click through to their website and then copy their page address.

Now let’s test those pages!

Paste that copied page address into the required box on the Validator form and press the ‘Check’ button.

Then paste the same address into the W3C mobileOK Checker and press the ‘Check’ button.

You can check as many pages as you like.

The W3C mobileOK Checker won’t guarantee that the page you are testing will display well on a mobile device, but if the page hasn’t got a very high score you can be reasonably sure that the page is badly designed and built, and will not display correctly – if at all!
