There will be at least one player in your team with the Internet on their mobile phone in the changing room before the game or in the pub after the game.
So from today, they can get a special version of your Web Teams site on their mobile.
To do this, it's very simple.
1. Go to your Web Teams site on the phone
2. Click the "Low graphics" hyperlink at the top of the page
3. Bookmark the site within the phone's memory
The two screenshots below show the "Low graphics" hyperlink on the full Web Teams page and then the smaller, leaner Web Teams page as it looks on a mobile phone:
The advantages of the "Low graphics" page on a mobile phone are:
1. All of the information can be seen on a small screen
2. Only the really important information is downloaded - if you have a low speed Internet connection then this is massively important.
Consider the current Tipton Town FC site http://www.webteams.co.uk/tiptontownfc
Their homepage has 48KB worth of text, 53KB of pictures and some javascript and css files to download. This is well over 100KB in size and can be very frustrating if you have a slow connection.
The equivalent "Low graphics" version is only 14KB in size. It will download around eight times quicker AND fit your mobile phone screen nicely.
If you do use your mobile phone to access Web Teams - please let us know.
If you want the facility to quickly enter news items to your site from your mobile - again, please let us know.
UPDATE (23 October)
Since this feature went live on 19th October over 300 unique visitors have been to a Web Teams page on their mobile! The Eastport South Manor news items page has proved to be the most popular so far:

It's early days, but it's nice to know that this seems to be a successful addition to the Web Teams service:
