The new mobile compatible site was designed by Zero-One Design Ltd.
Heres an exerpt from their launch press release:
If your company has a website and the user should arrive at your site on a smart-phone if certain elements aren’t supported it could take too long to load leaving the user frustrated. This could result in them leaving your site and possibly finding a competitor who has taken the time to produce a mobile specific version of the site with these users in mind. Morgan Stanley Research estimates sales of smartphones will exceed those of PCs in 2012.
Although phones like the Galaxy S and iPhone 4 have sophisticated browsers capable of rendering a full website in miniature as you would see it on a standard computer this does not mean you should not consider streamlining your approach for mobile devices, often the page weight of a standard website is pushing the limits of the smart-phone and may lead to slower than expected loading times, there are also a number of features that are not supported on smart-phones. For example Flash is not currently supported on the iPhone 4 meaning unless you have a good alternative your users will not get a rich brand experience.
The Journal Online in keeping with the latest trend and research have developed a fully mobile compatible website, which can be used to access and search through their publication now with total ease.
