Mobile Device Access is Here
The world is changing at a rapid pace. More and more people are surfing the Web on cellphones and other handheld mobile devices.
Mobile Device Access
Google Mobilizer is key to Cellphone Access to our site.
The Natural Health Perspective is happy to announce that it has partnered with Google Mobilizer to provide mobile access to all of our informational content.
In other words, Google as part of their search engine endeavors is automatically resizing, adjusting, or converting images, text formatting, and implementing other aspects of Web page functionality on the Natural Health Perspective site as part of their global campaign to render Web content better on mobile devices.
We are in the long term process of debugging the display of our content on mobile devices, as rendered by Google's Mobilizer. Our site has over 15 different topic areas, and over 200 different articles that need to be better optimized for mobile devices. We have already finished converting our Wellness program, as well as Natural Health Scams, the administrative, and legal sections of our site. In the future, one topic at a time will be converted over to the new format.
For most cellphones and handheld mobile devices, this conversion is done automatically. For those mobile devices that do NOT, you can force that option by doing a Google search for our site on your mobile device, and then selecting the mobile formatted option, shown above.
For those without mobile device access you can checkout how our site looks on the mobile Web with Google's Mobilizer simulated view, that is shown to the left. But, be sure to reduce the size of this window to simulate the width of your imaginary mobile device.
A number of changes are being made behind the scenes in order to accommodate those accessing our site with a mobile touchscreen device. One of the most noticeable changes was making the Natural Health Perspective site graphic logo narrower and taller so that the Google Mobilizer would display it on cellphones. In addition, we will be adding more navigational sliders and pictures, in the near future.
Handheld Mobile Devices
Ultimately, the usefulness of mobile device contact with our site depends upon the functionality of your respective device, as well as your user skills. A lot depends on how well Javascript and YouTube videos work on the particular mobile device that you are making contact with.
We are betting that touchscreen access will be the wave of the future of handheld mobile devices.
To accommodate touchscreen or multi-touch users, we are installing sliders on all of our major topic indexes that will provide a list of large pictures that are big enough to be comfortably touched with a finger, without requiring the use of any tiny stylus pointing device. Each slider will be preceded by a small paragraph of text that briefly introduces the area under discussion of each our topic article indexes. In addition, as articles are converted over to the new format, just like with most Blogs, touching or clicking on the graphical portions of our page header will automatically return you to our home page. For cellphones, our home page should be viewed as the master gateway to all of our topics. Furthermore, a picture will be provided at the bottom of each article, as shown below, that will return you to its major topic area.
