Mobile Web Style
Web Designs – going mobile!
There are some excellent mobile purpose-built websites out there, but what about the average website owner? Is it worth making a mobile version of your website too? I believe that is where we are headed… And WHY NOT when it can be so easy (relatively) to get a mobile version of your site up and running?? Instead of duplicating your content and then having to update BOTH versions whenever you make a chance, why not just use Stylesheets to do that job?
Well, in the past I haven’t found Stylesheets and the media type “handheld” to be that effective – especially since mobile devices like the iPhone do not trigger the “handheld” type because handheld types were thought to be extremely stripped down and basic versions of websites. Apple did not want its iPhone customers triggering as a handheld and only being able to see those basic versions of websites. Good idea? I don’t think so. As mobile devices get more and more popular, there needs to be an easy way to show a handheld version of your full-featured website.
I came across a code that works!
// -- Mobile Web Style -- // // -- End Mobile Web Style -- //
That way it is triggered with “handhelds” AND devices with a max-width of 480px, which catches just about every mobile device! Insert that into the head of your site and just create a mobile stylesheet. That way all your content is always the same and it can be full-featured too! Good luck!
