situation and Its data collection, processing, and analysis of its technical
components provide an accurate analysis of the quality of its performance and its
accessibility per successful practices in mobile websites.
The study relied on collecting its information and analyzing its elements
on a checklist that included (60) variable elements that were selected from the
published literature in mobile website technologies, as well as what was included
