Web Design, Wap Site Development

WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) was presented in 2001 as an open international standard for wireless communication applications. With the help of WAP browser plug-in, it enables access to the Internet from a portable device (phone, PDA, etc.). Today, more than 70 per cent mobile phones are equipped with built-in WAP browsers, which allow viewing WAP-sites, and the number of such phones is constantly growing.

WAP browsers provide the same services as usual computer Internet browsers do, but simplified to function within the limitations of mobile devices. Today, Wireless Application Protocol is applied for most mobile web resources in the world (WAP sites).

WAP site is a special site developed in WML (Wireless Markup Language). WML is a format of presenting information as a page with minimum text and graphics. Therefore, WAP sites hold only the most important data: information about a company, news, catalogue with short descriptions of goods and services, contact information, etc. Some WAP sites also provide the function of ordering goods or services online.

The popularity of WAP sites is steadily growing and, according to analytics, their number will be more than 20 per cent of all Internet resources by the end of 2006.

Moreover, WAP technology makes it possible to:

• e-mail
• track stock market prices
• view sports results
• look through news headlines
• download music

with a cell phone or PDA in one’s disposal only.
