What is an iPad Friendly Website ?
iPad is an extension of your current website that is formatted differently to display your websites content on feature-rich mobile web pages that are optimized and easy to read on your iPad.
Why do you need an iPad Friendly Website ? As the number of users visiting your website from iPad touch growing each day and everybody being used to access information fast and on-the-go it is crucial to make your website compatible for iPad viewers. If your website is not iPad friendly you are falling behind right now, or, you are already out of the game especially if you have Flash components or an entire flash website which cannot be seen on iPads and does not support plug-in such as Flash or Java.
- Flash Websites do not show on iPad websites!
If your website is built in flash, iPad users will not be able to see it at all. Any navigation elements embedded audio and video, or banner ads written in Flash or Java will not appear.
- HTML Websites with Flash Elements:
The flash elements will not be seen at all! Some websites have navigation menus in flash which disables your website all together because you can't navigate thru pages.
- Only HTML Websites:
In this case you might be lucky and your website will show, but most likely you will need to zoom into every page and move content left and right, up and down to even read the full content.
How do we design an iPad Friendly Website
One of the most important things to consider when designing an iPad friendly website is how to structure the interface of your web application. It’s all about touch, and it needs to be obvious for the user as to how and when to interact with your website. iPad Friendly Website design requires different techniques for iPad devices with emphasis on bigger buttons, slimmer forms, no hover, fast loading, low overhead themes. Animations will need to be light, with video offerings optional
