Viewing Re-directs?

Re-directs?



User: Simon C. 11 years ago
Hello,
I'm using the "Page for Mobile " feature and wondered if it's possible to do three things....

One site at 1100 px for desk top
A divert to a second version for iPad.
And the last of the three...the divert to mobile.

Here is my reasoning......

I want my main web site to be designed for viewing at a good size for images on a desk top.

I would like a modified design for tablets, larger menu text, no image links to pages and bigger buttons for
general navigation on an ipad.

My mobile site for 'phones will be entirely different and totally stripped down.

I have the framework for the main site and I'm slowly adding content. Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.

The simplest methods for serving up different versions of a website are based on screen width - whether they use javascript or media queries - and this is where the problem lies.

If you create a cut off point of 1054px for tablets in landscape mode, people like me will get your iPad site on a desktop since I keep my browser width at about 1000px because I detest and despise any website that is wider then 980px.

Since the number of surfers using desktops is falling and those using tablets rising at an alarming rate, I don't see much point in creating a site any wider than about 800px as shown here…

I can't think of too many occasions where an image needs be larger than about 800px wide. For the few instances where this is required you can use a lightbox or modal…
