Having just optimised a school intranet home page for iPad I can recommend spending some time on the task. The PC home page I inherited works very well for all sizes of monitor as it has some centering and left margin alignment code, but on an iPad – uggh. Basically the left edge was being cut off, and other items were scattered across the page. Optimising the page seemed to be a matter of ‘back to basics’ with the code – using very simple table layouts and paring back to no-frills. What I am still looking for is a way to properly detect what the user has (PC or iPad) and give them the oppropriate page. I have tried a few found on the ‘net, but can’t seem to get them to work – but I admit to being ignorant of how to properly implement them.

This is a great help, the website in my link doesn’t look right on the iPad so I’ll be using your advise to try and make it better. Thanks.

I have created many websites and they always seem to display differently on the iPhone and other devices.

I always make my web pages about 900 pixels wide so that 1024 screens fit it nicely.

All I need is to know now is how to get different images to nest next to each other properly on mobile devices, if you can help with that then let me know.

Yepp, mostly about usability to make it not too fidly to navigate the site, or too strenuous on the eyes to read.

Apart from the flash, you just mean actualy display asthetics right? Like text and image size to make it work on the iPhone and iPad as well as normal browers?

Hi
In general, most sites will work well on the pad. The article points out that if you’re using flash you need to consider alternatives. Other than that, its just about making sure its great experience (considering the screen and how people interact)

I’ve never optimised my site for anything, and I’ve always found that it looked OK on the iPhone and iPod touch. Will I have to do anything for the iPad? Or will it display like a Mac?

My site is optimised for the iPhone already, will this mean it will work well on the ipad too? .-= Freebiejeebies´s last blog ..Free iPad =-.

[...] With the imminent release of the Apple iPad, the publishing industry is about to take yet another giant leap into the digital space. Just as with the iPhone, the tablet will not support Adobe’s proprietary format. The pad instead favors the potent HTML 5 standard for interaction and H.264 or MPEG-4 for movie viewing. And in the process you’ll likely increase the SEO of your site. http://www.searchmarketingstandard.com/optimize-website-preparation-ipad [...]
