Diana Massam, Andrew Priest and Caroline Williams describe a recent project to adapt the online Internet Detective tutorial, to deliver a user-friendly mobile site which reflects their market research into user preferences for mobile content.
Note: If you've never seen or used the Internet Detective it is yet another quality tutorial from Intute.
