Just As I Thought

How not to design for mobile

I already complained to the SF Chronicle about the mobile version of their website, SF Gate. That was because the content on the mobile site doesn’t replicate the content on the regular site — it’s usually a day behind, which really makes the site completely pointless.
Generally speaking, if one is going to present a mobile version of a website, it should simply be the same site with a different style sheet or a re-render of the same content with extraneous stuff left off.
Unfortunately, SF Gate manages to screw this up as well. Take a look at this page. Now, take a look at the mobile version. Nuff ‘said.
