CultureMesh for Facebook Free Basics

CultureMesh FFB is mobile web site for CultureMesh designed for the Facebook Free Basics platform – you can also think of it as CultureMesh ‘lite’.

Because Facebook Free Basics strives to provide services to a very wide range of phones and data plans, the mobile website needs to function properly without:

1. JavaScript
2. iframes
3. Video and large images
4. Flash and Java applets

You can find more technical details about these requirements here.

CultureMesh FFB started as a Stanford Code the Change project.
