Design Guidelines

This section presents guidelines for developing a good model that effectively presents Web pages for 4630 IP Telephone Web Browser viewing. The biggest challenge in designing pages for this browser is the limited amount of space available for viewing the pages. The 4630 IP Telephone screen is a 1/4-VGA display. Part of that screen is lost to the browser by the 4630 IP Telephone’s main controls. Page layout must be effective and efficient, to avoid causing more lost space through additional screen controls like scrollbars. Font sizing can make or break a page’s usability. You must find a balance between fitting as much text as is possible, and allowing users to read the text without straining their eyes.
