I haven’t really had the need to develop mobile websites yet but I also can’t quite imagine what kind of advanced user experience/interaction features you would want to put on a website in a tiny screen. I mean, as far as I recall, most smart phones already have some kind of sticky footer from their own user interface, and there is not much space for advanced animation kinds of things.

I’m sure that there will likely be websites that are primarily used on mobile devices but then the old principle from the first days of the internet apply today even more: The user comes for information, not for advanced shiny effects. A simple website that provides the info the user comes for is much better than a website interfused with bloated boilerplate and framework code that believes to have an answer for everything.

But I’m one of the critical companions of invention and there may be things I just find so useless that I can’t imagine they would be done, even though other people actually can and will do them.
