Big names get behind the mobile internet
Web hosting firm Hostway releases new tool for mobile web site construction
Web hosting specialist Hostway will release a new tool for building mobile web sites today,
following hot on the heels of last week’s efforts by Yahoo and Visa to bring greater online
functionality to mobile devices.
Hostway’s Mobile SiteBuilder tool offers developers the ability to customise various elements
of their mobile internet sites, such as text size and style. It also features a site wizard to
enable the easy uploading of content, according to director Neil Barton.
The product is being released to capitalise on growing interest in the mobile internet
following the launch of the new .mobi top-level domain last year. “It’s a simple drag-and-drop
tool, which conforms to the .mobi site building regulations,” Barton said.

Will this initiative have enough credibility to make the mobile web work?
Yes. Firstly there are a set of standards [we are producing] which will guarantee to the
consumer that it will work. Also, the mobile constituency behind it is a powerhouse of
companies – they’re not going to let .com become the standard on the phone.
