How to build for mobile

Before proceeding, please make sure that you have reviewed the Getting Started with Mobile support document. You might also want to read this article which outlines the Ashford mobile experience.

Support for tier-1 mobile devices

Here are what Ashford considers tier-1 phones:

  • iPhone and iPod Touch
  • Android
  • BlackBerry OS 6 WebKit Browser
  • WebOS
  • Maemo (Nokia’s Linux touchscreen OS)
  • Garmin Nuvifone

This DOES not include iPad because for most organizations making that fine a distinction between desktop and tablet is impractical. Ashford is iPad aware and does give developers CSS hooks for that device specifically. It does not have hooks for any Android tablets.

Ashford is tested on an iPhone, Android and iPad as well as all A-Grade browsers (not including Explorer 6).
