Hello All - I am looking to develop web pages for smartphone web browsers. I am looking for some advice on what screen resolution I should design for? These phones have so many different screen resolutions.
I'm curious how these mobile web browsers handle HTML5 as well.
Kind regards,
-=Raj=-

320 by 480 seems to be fairly common. I don't see any reason why mobile devices would pass at html5. But keep away from any flash content.

There has been a lot of discussion about adaptive design that will automatically change with the screen size.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks for the link Rolly. I really like all the things I'm seeing with HTML5... it almost makes HTML coding fun again. haha!
The mobile devices will be a bit of a challenge... but it looks fun.

Consider using a redirect on the landing page to switch between sets of pages for the same site. This will be my approach to handle mobile viewers. Best view per screen size. I think I remember Eric saying he gives a choice to Mobile viewers to review the larger site.
To me there is too much compromise with responsive design and too many headaches. I know others have other opinions. Horses for courses.

Me thinks WAM by coffeecup might be the wrench for the redirect

I think this is a really good idea. Do you have any examples?

Here's a list of common screen sizes to consider (pads as well as phones):

(Scroll down to see a table of resolutions by device)
There's more info below the table about including stylesheets for different orientations (since you can't predict if viewers will browse your site in portrait or landscape mode.

Ahh.. cool. Thank you paintbrush.
I just discovered "jQuery"... looks cool! And now I need a vector drawing program to make some icons. This project is growing quickly. LOL!

Raj, have you looked at Coffee Cups's Web Image Studio?
Right now, you have to use WIS graphics in it (CC sells loads of neat graphics packs), or you can create your own icons with it. It's very easy to use. There's a free version available – give it a try
