Does anyone know what the process is for an ordinary website builder like myself to design for a mobile user.
1 Do I have to recognise an incoming user as being on a mobile and divert to a more basic design - info only...
OR
2 Do I let a user register on my site for downloads
I'm running a sports website with international interest...
So how do I go about this ? Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
Jeremy :eek:

Try to look at the code for some of the pages that you access through your
mobile, from your PC/Mac.
Then you will have an idea how to create them.
Normally you cannot use css, backgroundimage and other styling and the page must preferably, not have a width of more than ,I think, 100px,

Nokia has a CSS style sheet designed to render for
"small screen rendering".
An example can be seen here:

You'll notice this line in the HTML source:
type="text/css" media="handheld, screen, projection"
I have yet to test it on a real cell phone ...
if someone can try it out, let me know how it looks...thanks.

I've been bookmarking resources about this as it is something i want to learn. here's some of my links:

I managed to build a (lame) webpage that works on my phone - pdamobile.com - its simple, but so's my phone.
a great looking guy put a post up about having a dedicated mobile forum here - http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=70530
Haven't heard from the mods but i think it is worth considering.
