Viewing Mobile Page Queries

Mobile Page Queries



User: John E. 12 years ago
If I don't create a mobile version of my web site, how would it look if viewed on a mobile device? If I do create a mobile version, do I have to recreate the master pages as well as the regular pages.? I've never done any of this before, consequently my questions are very basic.

Your website will look just as it does on the desktop, just scaled down for your mobile device.

You can create a master page just for your mobile pages. Most people have one long mobile page instead of creating a new page for each page on their site.

Since I haven't published my site yet, I'm unable to test the preview version. I'm not sure I'd like one long page for a mobile version. This is a site for our church. It's got 27 pages. Some change infrequently, but many of them change every week/month. If I used one long page how would I use the navigator? Would I link it to a title or some text

When I create mobile sites for a desktop site, they're often abbreviated... For the most part I feel that when I search or find a business on the web while on my mobile device, it's more about getting quick (useful) info. about the business, phone numbers, location etc... I make the fonts and everything a bit bigger and less photos...

My 2¢ : )

Some guidelines for creating a smart phone site HERE

I agree with Steve about cutting the content to the minimum.

Most mobile phone users will just leave your site if they see a squashed down conventional website.

Based on your advice and documentation, and what I've since seen of some mobile sites, I think I'll keep it to one short page.
