Lighthouse cinema's great mobile website

July 2025 - FYI, I have decided to close this blog and migrate content back to my main website. I'll be updating the location of blog posts as I go along. You can read more about this here.

At iQ BootCamp 2008, friend of iQ Des Traynor gave a presentation about what makes a great mobile website.
He explained that a mobile site is not simply a 'small-screen' version of your normal website. Due to device and other constraints it often cannot be used in the same way.
As such, it should aim to provide just enough information for someone to digest while sitting in the back of taxi on the way to meet a friend. No more.
Someone was listening.
No movie reviews. No online booking. No popcorn ads.
Just movies, dates, times and box office number.
Great job!
