Best approach to mobile pages.

How do others go about creating mobile pages.

Put them in the same site as the desktop pages or in a parallel site.

It seems that if they go in the same site as the desktop pages, to avoid issues with the navigation bar(s) I'd need links on mobile sites go to desktop sites and then have the user redirected, but wonder if this won't make for slower loading. If I use parallel sites then I'd think that the project could be more prone to errors since I'd be linking as external links rather than to one of my pages and keep switching between working one site and the other.

Any advice welcome, I'm a property guy not a website designer, I've done the not finding the best way until the project is finished route and am hoping to avoid it this time.

OK, after posting I did a little reading of Roddy's pages and went the separate site route

Hi Steve,

Each page can be given a mobile page equivalent so that as you navigate to any page, the mobile page comes up properly on mobile devices, and the desktop one comes up for desktop computers.

Thanks. I understand the way the mobile equivalent works, I was wondering whether it's best to create mobile pages inside the desktop site project or in their own project. I went with the latter in the end.

Hi Steve,

Ok, I do think it is better to include the mobile pages in your actual project file for your desktop website, but if you found a way you prefer, than that is OK!
