Abstract

According to some studies, in 2009 the number of mobile web devices worldwide will be six times greater than that of desktop or laptop devices. These data have awakened the business interests of content providers to maximize the ways of access to their materials. For them, it becomes necessary to use standardized mechanisms for communication and to make content available as widely as possible. The Ctic Foundation (Center for Information Technology and Communication), experts in technical standardization and Web Accessibility based on implementation of the W3C guidelines, presents Merkur tool, which allows pages built following accessibility and standardization recommendations to adapt to mobile devices following the W3C guidelines and recommendations, in a simple and effective manner.
