Hello 👋

I am a Mobile First web developer that explores concepts, designs and ideas that are innovative, unconventional and not based or limited by industry traditions!

My Mobile First web design strategy starts with analyzing the layout and feature requirements of the smallest screen first! It then focuses on identifying and exploiting every possible mobile and wearable web feature and, optimizing web pages for speed.

To familiarize yourself with my Mobile First web design features and objectives, you can either:

1Scroll down the page.

2Click or Tap any of the links in the Table of Contents.

These Are My Mobile First Web Design Objectives and Features

👍Achieve a web page Time to Interactive goal of under 1 second on every web page when using Google's Page Speed Insights performance speed report. Make sure to review both the Mobile and Desktop scores!

👍Exploit the benefits and features of using a Digital Business Card that can be added as an "Add On Feature" to any website so that they are hosted under your own website domain name.

👍Avoid using JavaScript and Content Management System (CMS) software because they severely impact how fast the webpages are Interactive!

👍Configuring Web pages to behave like a Mobile Web App allowing mobile users to have ONE TAP ACCESS to my contact information and website content without having to first search the Contacts App or opening a web browser!

👍Configuring web pages to use Open Graph Protocol graphics to drive more Social Media traffic to my website.

👍Provide website visitors the absolute best Mobile User Experience (UX) by using:

1A Single Column web page layout.

2An "Unconventional" Ambidextrous, Thumb Zone Friendly Navigation Menu that provides visitors a consistent website navigation user experience (UX) on any size screen and, can also be used as a Mobile Mega Menu.

Exploit Digital Business Card Features

If you answered yes then, why are you still using a "Business Tool" that can never adapt, compete and exploit Digital Technology?

For hundreds of years, paper business card have represented your company's brand. When you exchange a traditional paper business card, you are not providing just your personal contact information such as name, title, address, email and phone number and website name. You are providing the first exposure to the overall image of the business!

A Digital Business Card is a small web page that contains the same information as traditional paper Business Cards. There are no space constraints and you can add as much or as little information to your digital card as you like.

👍When you use a Digital Business Card, you are projecting a different image and message to prospective clients that is different from your competition!

👍How much do you spend on an annual basis for traditional paper business cards? You are eliminating or reducing business operating expenses associated with ordering traditional paper Business Cards for you and your staff.

👍You are always ready to share your Digital Business Card with a potential client even if you do not have your Smartphone with you! Anyone can share your Digital Business Card with friends, neighbors, and their business associates!

👍The Digital Business Card can use either a "Traditional Business Logo" or your picture which has a "Social Media" look for Apple Touch Icons.

👍It can be added as an "Add On Feature" to any website so that they are hosted under your own website domain name.

👍The How to Guide links provide prospective clients detail instructions on how to exploit different Digital Business Card features.

👍When mobile visitors create a "Bookmark" of the Digital Business Card web page by exploiting the Add to Home Screen web browser feature, the web page will function like a Mobile Web App and users now have ONE TAP ACCESS to my contact information and web content without having to search the Contacts App or opening a web browser!

TAP the link to display the Digital Business Card on the small screen of an Apple ⌚ Watch.

TAP the phone number link to initiate a phone call.

TAP the Address Link to obtain driving, transit, or walking directions.

Avoid Using JavaScript

The web browser has to perform the following actions for every JavaScript code that is used on your web page and this severely impacts a web page Time to Interactive!

1Download the code over the network (Cellular or Internet)

2Parse the code

3Compile the code

4Execute the code

You are going to be very surprised when you compare the Android and IOS GeekBench 5 Single Core CPU scores that process all Javascript requests.

Encourage you to watch a video by Addy Osmani titled The Cost of JavaScript.

Avoid Using Content Management System (CMS) Software

1JavaScript is used extensively in all Content Management System (CMS) Software and this severely impacts a web page Time to Interactive!

2Websites that use CMS software are common hacking targets!

3Learn which organizations are encouraging you not to use the WordPress Content Management System software.

👍Over the last 20 plus years, my website has been redesigned over a dozen times and has never been hacked!

Configure Web Pages To Behave Like A Mobile Web App

Reference the Safari Web Content Guide for Configuring Web Applications and:

1Configure a "Webpage Icon for Web Clip" meta tag on every web page.

2Configure a "Launch Icon Title" meta tag on every web page

3Change the webpage Title to match the "Launch Icon Title" because Android smartphones do not use the apple-mobile-web-app-title meta tag.

Configure Web Pages To Use Open Graph Protocol

Open Graph Protocol has been around since 2010 and it tells social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Text Messaging Apps what information to display when anyone receives a link to your web page! Most businesses already have a Social Media Presence however, the vast majority of web developers fail to configure each web page with Open Graph Protocol Metadata Properties to drive more Social Media traffic.
