How to Make Your Own Wap Site

  • Answer:

    Websites made for Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) are programmed in the Wireless Markup Language (WML). Websites with WML encoded versions for WAP devices were popularized during the 2000s with the increase in mobile cellular technology that means many phone users now have access to mobile Internet on the move. WML is a programming language similar to HTML, but strips down the coding so that mobile phones can load the web pages more quickly. Difficulty: Moderate Instructions Find a web host that supports WML. Not all web hosts fully support WML, so check to see if yours does. You can easily find a WML WAP enabled web host with a simple Internet search. Choose a web host that caters to the needs of your website. Create a blank Notepad document. You can also use your usual HTML editor if it has support to save as a ".wml" file. Type, "<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml"><wml>" at the top of your document, this defines the document as a WML web file. Type "<card id="main" title="My First WML Page" newcontext="true">" below the header. All WAP pages can contain multiple "Cards" as opposed to pages that HTML websites may have. You can insert multiple cards throughout a WML document. Type "<p>" to begin your paragraph of text. Type your content for the first paragraph in the first card here. Close the tag by typing "</p>" and pressing Return. Type "</card>" at the end of this each card to close the card. If you want to add more cards repeat this process. To link between cards type "<a href="#card2">link text</a>" changing "card2" for the card "id" you wish to link to. Type "</wml>" at the end of your .wml document to close the WAP-enable web page. Click "File" then "Save As" and save the file with a .wml extension. Upload your .wml to your wml, wap-enabled host and then visit it from a mobile phone.
