Is your accessible Web site mobile friendly?
Do you have a Web site which is compliant with the W3C‘s Web Content Accessiblity Guidelines? If so, you may be interested to see if your site is going to require any additional work in order to make it mobile friendly or, as the W3C calls it Mobile OK.
The W3C has just published a first public working draft of a Relationship between Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines document. This document aims to bridge the gap between WCAG and the Mobile Web Best Practices by providing direct mappings between the guidelines. If you know what WCAG checkpoints your site conforms to, then this document will tell you what additional steps you need to take to also make it Mobile OK.
It’s a very useful document as it demonstrates just how little effort is actually required to make your website Mobile OK.

Of course you could just test your site using http://ready.mobi …
To be mobile friendly, a website must have a simple page design and divide into many pages instedad of complicated pages that requires a lot of scrolling from side to side.
I guess that a mobile-friendly webbage should have only one column, and with a page nenu at the top. And the entrance page should be a site meny/map consisting of only one column, with some explaining text at the top and bottom.
