Those of us that use smartphones would like to let you know that when you try to make your client’s website cute by displaying their telephone numbers with periods instead of dashes it makes smartphones unable to simply press that number and automatically dial the number for them.
It may seem trivial to someone who doesn’t use a smartphone but believe me that as older luddites who refuse to adopt new technologies die off and are replaced by younger users who seem born eager to adopt new technologies you as a website designer ought to be aware when you are designing your client’s web pages.
I’ve often thought this but Patty Knaggs from www.thecutbridge.com forwarded along a fantastic article which reminded me of this simple importance.
Here’s the article should you care to read about it-
Good Morning Gloucester 
Great article about signatures, turns out I am breaking a lot of rules but fixing them right now. And thanks for the link to http://www.thecutbridge.com as I did not catch the video that Kenny took of the parade. Being in the parade you don’t actually get to see it and one more embarrassing video of me on roller skates I just can’t pass up.

*sigh* The problem is with the smart phone technology. They should be smart enough to register various different formats of phone numbers…
