Website Front-end Quality Control Considerations
A good web agency utilizes some form of quality control during the creation of their clients’ websites. Often, one phase of this process consists of putting the website through a handful of tests, typically towards the tail end of the project.

Since I am a lover of all things front-end (design, markup, and CSS), there are a few details that I always test to help ensure a good user experience for the visitor and to reduce browser inconsistencies.
Mobile Phone Web Design and Development Considerations
In early 2007 I began to school myself on the topic of web design and development tailored for mobile devices, specifically mobile phones. While I’m far from a pro on the subject, I feel that I’ve gathered enough generally-accepted information to form a list of best practices one must consider when targeting mobile phone users. At the worst, this list is here to remind me what I should consider when a suitable project lands on my plate.
At the time of writing this article, Apple’s iPhone makes nearly all of this information useless, and if other phone manufacturers follow in Apple’s footsteps, I’ll be editing this list quite a bit or taking it offline altogether. Only time will tell.
