Very few Web sites work on handheld devices without presenting problems to the users. However, people do browse the Web using handheld devices, so it's important that Web sites work on them. The Opera browser is designed to work on handheld devices. In Pocket-Sized Design, Elika Etemad and Jorunn D. Newth give details on creating a style sheet for handheld devices. The main constraint of a handheld device when browsing the Internet is its small screen, which may be only as wide as one hundred and twenty pixels, as well as a possible inability to scroll horizontally. Other constraints are different methods of input, limited memory, slow processors, and slow and expensive downloading. In order to meet the constraints of a small screen, coders and designers must scale down the sizes of aspects of their Web pages. To begin, for handheld devices, there should not be more than one column of text on the screen. This can be achieved by using CSS only to style one's Web site, instead of tables or frames for layout, because CSS has the potential to style the XHTML while it remains in a single column when viewed without CSS. That doesn't need to restrict design for people viewing the site on computer screens, because one can list a style sheet specifically for handheld devices, as well as other user agents, and leave the computer screen visitors with an elegant design in as many columns as are pleasing to both designer and user. Using pixels in styling for the handheld is not recommended either, because even a few pixels can take up a great deal of space on a device that is, for instance, one hundred and twenty pixels wide. Instead of pixels, one should use ems or percentages, because both scale better. One should also use smaller margi... ... middle of paper ... ...e is styling it, then it's easy to change, which leaves more room to, for example, rework the layout for a handheld device. In order to tell a browser like Opera that a style sheet is available for it to use for handheld devices, the coder must specifically mark the style sheet as for handhelds. To do so, "handheld" must be specified as the media attribute, or must be included with an @media or @import rule. In order for a Web designer or coder to create a design for handheld devices, there are many rules one must follow. Making items smaller and more flexible are the first things a coder must do. These days, since more people browse the Web on handheld devices, it's increasingly important to design for those devices, as well as for the computer screen.

Steve's roger's eyes snapped open, throttled to consciousness by severe and bone-penetrating cold. The muscles in his neck spasmed causing his jaw to slam into a broken chunk of ice. As he reflexively flinched away,a primal smothering terror seized his chest as he realized he was suffocatingly encased in raw arctic ice. Drawing a breath to scream, nerves in Steve's abdomen compressed under panicked muscle trauma. His diaphragm contracted deep into his body and Steve began to asphyxiate. Wave after wave of rib breaking contractions wracked his frozen body, sending him into violent death throes. Steve's eyes rolled into the back of his head, and ropes of clinging foam and mucus spilled from his mouth. His heart strained under his breast, exerting its last reserves of energy to keep beating.
Usability is a critical portion of web design that one must be ever mindful of when constructing websites. Whether creating a personal web space or building multiple pages for a large corporation, it is the burden of the designer to guarantee people can access that content. According to the United Nations, disabled people compose roughly 10 percent of the world’s population (United Nations, 2010). Many regulations and standards have been set forth to provide disabled people with the same opportunities to access content available on the World Wide Web, as it is most of the World’s population.

According to Eccher (2015, p. 169), before a designer begins to build a website, he/she must understand the infrastructure of a web page. As affirmed, a good website is aesthetically pleasing, is usable, and is functional. Web designers seek to have a mortised website. Having a good layout where content is easy to find and to follow achieves the usability aspect of web design. To achieve functionality and aesthetics, one needs good content layout. There exist two types of website design layouts: fixed layout and fluid layout.

The development of technology in this country has been significant to the daily lives of Americans today. In the twenty-first century, one of the greatest accomplishments of technology is the use of laptops. People, such as students, are facing the fact that laptops have made their lives easier. Some colleges and universities have allowed that each student bring their personal laptops with internet connectivity to class while others believe they easily weaken the learning abilities of students instead of promoting and increasing learning in the classroom. Although personal laptops in the classroom have numerous advantages, there have also been frequent complaints from professors because laptops hinder with learning, and as a result should be banned from bringing them into the classroom since laptops can easily distract students, not every student can afford purchasing a laptop, and would prevent students from cheating or plagiarizing.

For this paper, I will explore the vast field of mobile technologies and how they have changed not only how businesspeople work, but how customers often use mobile technology to interact with businesses. As someone who is personally very passionate about mobile technology and its continuing growth and development, this topic is a natural fit for me to write about. Mobile technology has proven itself as a valuable asset to businesses of all sizes because of its constant availability and the wide array of functions these modern mobile platforms are capable of handling. There are many types of mobile technologies on the market, and in this paper I will cover a relatively small number of them relative to the other large, diverse set of devices that exist on the marketplace.
In the United States, using a smartphone or tablet has been an unstoppable trend. According to the report from Pew Internet, in the United States, 56% of all adult population is smartphone user, 35% have cellphone, which is not a smartphone, and only 9% do not own any cell phone (Smith). At the same time, the tablet computer has been growing substantially since 2010, especially with the advent of Windows 8. Pew Internet shows that 34% of the United States adult population owns a tablet computer, representing a growth of more than 30% in three years (Zickuhr). Although these reports were based on the adult population, many children their own mobile devices. Such a device will provide them the accessibility to browse the Internet, listen to music, watch videos, play games both instantly and with unlimited quantity.
The last step in building a web page is the conversion from plane text and graphics to HTML code. All elements that make up the web pages are then to be combined graphics, plain text, even tables. The combined elements are then converted from plane text into HTML code. The easiest way to accomplish this daunting task if you have no prior experience of HTML programming is by using a computer program that is designed for the purpose of converting text, graphics, and other objects into HTML, such as Cute HTML, Trelix Web, or Netscape Composer.
