To add more precision to its research this year, Yankee Group partnered with Keynote Systems, which evaluated 48 mobile Web sites for network performance and reliability--using its Mobile Web Perspective® software-as-a-service product (formerly known as Mobile Application Perspective)--in addition to the 25 qualitative criteria Yankee Group used for measurement. The performance data allowed Yankee Group to better understand not only how the sites looked, but how well they were designed to cope with the demands of today's mobile users and networks.

More on the Topic

The mobile Web isn’t a novelty anymore – it’s a mainstream way to engage consumers on the go. And in 2010, more companies have figured out how to effectively adapt content to those users and their devices and networks. Yankee Group’s third annual rankings of the best mobile Web sites found increasing achievements in content and design from sites in the transportation, shopping, technology and mobile operator categories. In fact, one third of all sites evaluated earned a passing grade—much improved from the just 14 percent that passed in 2009. This will be a practical and useful webinar for anyone interested in learning more about the best practices required for building a top performing mobile Web site in 2011.
