FolioStop – now optimised for iPhone

FolioStop sites have a special iPhone layout

FolioStop websites are now optimised for iPhones and other touchscreen smartphones. For more about why this is important read on.

We have just released new scripts that deliver your FolioStop website to iPhones and other smartphones in a special template that is specifically tailored to touch screen mobile phones. This happens automatically and requires no action on your part.

Navigating website layouts that look good in the browser can be a real pain on a small screen, with lots of zooming in and out required. This can be enough to put many people off trying to view a site on their phone.  However, with the right layout, navigating a website on a phone can be really usable.

The layout we have developed uses a single scrollable column that you can drag your finger to move up and down. The menu is part of this column and opens and closes as an accordian to reveal or hide page content.

Image galleries work really well too, with the images automatically showing up the exact width of the screen, and arrows to flick forward and back through the gallery. In fact, it is so easy for visitors to view your site on a phone they may not even need to look it up in a browser!

If a potential client is checking out a few competitors on their phone to get some background information, you can be confident that your FolioStop site will present you or your business in a very positive light.
