From Desktop to Mobile View: A Simplified Approach to Mobile Website Development
Priyanca Jogoo, Ishrat Shagoofah Golamgous, Mohammad Yasser Chuttur · 2019
Desktop version websites are designed for viewing on desktops or laptops screens and are not optimized for mobile devices. With increased adoption of mobile technologies, businesses and governments, which already own a desktop version website but not a mobile version website are often required to invest heavily in a full web development life cycle to obtain a website optimized for mobile devices. Given that website development is complex, time consuming and costly, we propose a simplified approach in the form of a tool, which makes use of open source technologies to automatically convert existing desktop websites into mobile versions without the need to go through a complete website development life cycle. The proposed tool presented in this paper particularly targets, but is not limited to, Governments from developing countries with strict budget constraints.
