Seriously cross-platform with HTML5
jQuery mobile framework takes the "write less, do more" mantra to the next level: Instead of writing unique apps for each mobile device or OS, the jQuery mobile framework allows you to design a single highly-branded web site or application that will work on all popular smartphone, tablet, and desktop platforms.

Theming: Built to be branded
We believe that your web site or app should feel like your brand, not any particular OS. To make building highly customized themes easy, we've created ThemeRoller for Mobile to make it easy to drag and drop colors and download a custom theme. For polished visuals without the bloat, we leverage CSS3 properties like text-shadow
, box-shadow
, and gradients.
Download builder: Customize for speed
We now have a tool to let you build you own custom bundle that contains only the components you need. The builder will generate a custom JavaScript and both a full and structure-only theme stylesheet for production use.
