Abstract

The ever-growing corpus of web content is now accessible from mobile devices. But is web content ready for mobile access? Which characteristics provide an acceptable user experience when using a mobile device? Based on W3C's MobileOK best practices and tests we present MokE (Mobile OK Evaluator), a tool that helps creators of web content, webmasters and site administrators to evaluate how a mobile user will experience browsing of their content. By making use of W3C's basic tests this tool is comprised of a set of modules that crawl a web site, analyze its content (including a hidden web capability) and provide an evaluation of its appropriateness for mobile access.
