Title: Website Conversion for Mobile Phone
Post by: avoorpool on September 04, 2013, 07:41:23 PM

Hi Jacques,

Are you aware of any (free??) scripts we can use to convert our website into a mobile version??

Thanks.

Arthur

Hi Arthur,

I haven't see any "mobile converter" for web pages, because doing
a mobile version for smartphones is not only a case of "shrinking" page
to fit in a smaller screen. So, 2 choices are to consider:

- New phone "section"
Could be to redirect your visitors to new pages specific to phones with
script detection or use both in one page (but slowest biggest pages)
and only swap .css file with something like:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="handheld.css" media="handheld"/>

A Template project was on Cumulus Forum (http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2152&hilit=phone+template)

- Application for Phones
Also, you could consider offering application specific for phones,
as the Projects iCumulus or Sunbird (http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2152&hilit=phone+template)

Hope this give you a better idea of way to use.

Regards,
Jacques

Hi Jacques,

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into what (could) be the best conversion / addition.

Cheers,
Arthur
