"The world hates change; yet it is the only thing that has brought progress!"- General Eric. Was a time then, when we perform our computer operation with a palm sized Calculator having very limited access to our thoughts and of course needs. Last phase of the 20th century was then gifted with a bigger better hardware i.e. "Computer System" by IBM; and Microsoft made it sensible enough with its flagship product i.e. Windows Operating system; an absolutely game changer for the industry. With inception of 21st century, industry conceived with a new generation smart brain based computer system i.e. Smart Phones and was flooded with smart apps and mobile apps to make the user connected to rest of the world. Mobile apps or Mobile websites are nothing but the smarter version of desktop websites and they can be treated as smartsites!! For a smarter device or software we must use even smarter technology for better throughput and user experience- hence the evolution of HTML5. And it is a must for any mobile website design, let's find out why?"
Mobile website, form factor and HTML5: The population of smart phones is increasing at a rapid pace; almost every day there is a new Smartphone getting launched in the industry. These devices are of different form factors like 3 inches to 10 inches diagonally. But the developer needs to develop a common mobile website that can fit to every screen size and resolution and it is really a nuisance for them. With HTML5, web developer can build responsive websites that can impart similar user experience irrespective of screen size and resolution. Things will not break when there is a change in the screen size rather it will accommodate with the resolution. In fact, with HTML5 we can design a page that will render the web content differently in different scenarios and this is the charm of developing mobile websites with HTML5. Features like media-query for viewport are simply awesome. Now, with HTML5, we can use <picture> and it can be directly associated with viewport size, resolution and orientation for efficient delivery of images. HTML5 web developers need not to worry about the size of the image; in fact, he can simply use different images for different resolutions and orientation. This makes a lot sense when we consider Smartphone with many sensible parts like gravity sensor etc.
Truly efficient HTML5 attributes and elements: HTML5 has amazed the whole IT world with its beauty, yes the beauty of efficiency. The things started with its DOCTYPE! Its DOCTYPE is extremely short and simple; you need not to write any URL or any extra stuff to add the HTML5 to your web page. Excluding that, there are many modern and powerful attributes HTML5 posses for its lovers. May it be <audio>, <video>, <container>, <picture>, <form> and others. The front page design becomes much easier with HTML5 with full concentration over the responsiveness of the application. All its features and attributes and elements are truly responsive and hence a web developer needs not to worry about its user experience at the end of day. It has inbuilt form validation feature that used to be a part of JavaScript developers; but now it can be well organized by the HTML5 developer alone. You just need to enter the type of the field and the rest is taken care by HTML5. Imagine for a phone number, you need not to write any JS code for validating if it is filled by numbers only rather it can be done automatically from HTML5 core. Similar fashion is there for email fields, text field, date picker etc. It simply improves the productivity due to its unmatched efficiency.
Memory constraints and HTML5: Mobile websites or smart sites run on smart devices like android or iOS smart phones or tablets. Due to their portable form factor, they have a limitation from the memory point of view. They have few GB (Of course around16 GB or at max 32GB) of inbuilt memory along with 1 or 2GB RAM. Again the speed of the device is often par below than that of a bigger desktop machine. It used to run with less frequency to save the power- which is again another limitation. So, our mobile website should be optimized enough since it needs to run on a limited memory. HTML5 makes it possible with its highly optimized elements. These elements will make your page light and load faster. HTML5 has an improved feature i.e. Local Storage that enables the browser to store some essential data of the user so that he can access the webpage in a smarter way. User is given control to kill the local storage data at any point of time if he wants to release memory.
HTML5 can help you for low Bandwidth operations: If we are considering mobile website then we are targeting mobile devices like smart phones and tablets. These devices usually run on mobile networks like 3G, 2G or 4G LTE. But the penetration of high speed internet can't be expected from every location due to lack of proper and advanced infrastructure in many developing countries; but the major population of mobile website user are from those geographic regions. So, we must consider their bandwidth issue and we must design a mobile website that can give better user experience even at low bandwidth and this is really challenging! HTML5 is there to help us out!! It can create amazing web pages that are extremely lightweight and hence takes less bandwidth to download. HTML5 developer can implement canvas instead of any larger multimedia files. The best part is that, you need not bother about any third party media player to run a media on the browser like Flash or something else. HTML5 does not require any plug-in for playing media instead it does the things itself and hence decreasing the load on the browser. Similarly, with picture element, one can extract an image slowly from the server without impacting the user experience. HTML5 can also help in creating interactive web pages with Games that are light weight using canvas and some help from the lightening fast JavaScript.
Offline access with HTML5 for better user experience: HTML5 has an outstanding cache management system that helps in improving the browsing experience on a mobile browser. The Local Storage can help you in storing a web page data on the client browser and it enables the user browsing those pages while in offline state due to availability of HTML content on the browser itself.
