LuxSci provides a standard full-featured Web 2.0 WebMail interface (a.k.a the
"Full Site"). For the sake of usability, feature richness, this
full-featured portal makes extensive use of graphics, cookies, JavaScript,
HTML5, and some features of modern web browsers to enhance the user
experience. It is also designed for a wide screen viewing area.
Unfortunately, many of the very requirements that make the
full-featured portal good-looking and easy to use also have their down
sides. The "Mobile Site" is the solution to these concerns:
Visiting LuxSci's login page with a mobile browser will take you to the
Mobile Site automatically. You may also go directly there using this
address: http://xpress.luxsci.com
- Blazing Speed: The Mobile Site uses very few graphics
and much less JavaScript; it is optimized to use only a small amount of
bandwidth. Its pages are thus much smaller in size, faster to download,
and faster to render in your web browser. If you have a slow Internet
connection, the Mobile Site will seem much faster than the Full Site!
- Maximum Compatibility: The Mobile Site will work
with most web browsers - even old ones and non-standard ones. This is
because the Mobile Site portal does not require the use of
JavaScript, or cookies. If you turn all of these features off, the Mobile
Site will still work. If you leave these features on, the experience will
be enhansed; however, they will not be used in a way that might stress
your web browser very much.
- Mobile Devices and Narrow Screens: The Mobile Site
will work with almost any mobile device, tablet, or PDA that has a web
browser. We work to ensure that the pages of the Mobile Site look good and
work well on very small screens.
- Privacy Concerns: The Mobile Site does not
require the use of cookies at all. If you are concerned about
privacy on the web, you can disable cookies in your web browser and still
use the Mobile Site without any trouble.*
- Security Concerns: The Mobile Site portal does not
require the use JavaScript at all (though it is faster and nicer if
JavaScript is available). If you are concerned about security on the web,
you can disable JavaScript in your web browser and still use the Mobile
Site without any trouble.* The Mobile Site, like the Full Site, runs over
SSL so
that all of your data is encrypted during transport.
*Without cookies or JavaScript enabled, a few features of the mobile
site will be disabled.
