ALA:mobile - Homepage

A List Apart (ALA) is a highly regarded online magazine covering web design and development started by Jeffrey Zeldman in 1998.  ALA is notable not only for the quality of its articles but also for the visual design and standards compliance of the site.

ALA last week launched a mobile version which continues the tradition of superior design and usability set by the main site. ALA mobile scores 5 out of 5 on Ready.mobi and the markup validates.  It was built using the tools and services of Mobify.me, a Vancouver based startup which offers web designers an easy to use interactive design tool for creating mobile sites. Mobify also hosts sites created with the toolset. Device detection and adaptation is built-in to deliver sites optimized for handsets ranging from the iPhone to low end feature phones..  Mobilfy offers both free and paid options. If you are a web designer or publisher looking for a relatively painless way of creating a professional quality mobile site I suggest taking a look at Mobify.me.  Disclaimer: I'm doing consulting work for Mobilfy.

Paul Andrew's Speckyboy Design Magazine is one of my favorite web and graphic design blogs. Content includes design showcases and loads of articles listing and reviewing Paul's favorite free and high quality design resources.

Paul recently created a mobile view for Speckyboy using Mobify.me's WYSIWYG online mobile design tool and hosting service. Yesterday he posted a Showcase of 20 Mobile-Friendly Popular Design Blogs which includes screenshots of each listed site, all of which were built using Mobify.

Almost all the top web design and development sites made the list including Smashing Magazine, Sitepoint, CSS Tricks, Six Revisions, Abduzeedo, A List Apart and Web Designer Depot. It's really great to see the web design community so wholeheartedly embracing mobile. And the fact that so many top design sites choose Mobify. is certainly a strong endorsement of its quality, flexibility and usability.

FactoryCity Mobile Edition

Chris Messina is an opensource advocate known for his work with Firefox, Flock and the Bar Camp movement. I just read a great post of his titled "Steve Jobs hates the App Store". The title is a bit misleading, the provocative and lively post is really about Chris' belief that the future of computing, including mobile computing, is not with apps but with web services. Highly recommended.

You can read Steve Jobs hates the App Store and the rest of Chris' thoughts on the web, social networking, open source, mobile browsers and a whole more at his blog, FactoryCity. The site's mobile edition is generated with Alex King's Carington Mobile Wordpress plugin.
