Making Your Site Mobile Friendly

July 3, 2008 – 4:31 pm

Setting up CSS for mobile phones is easy enough but what about modifying your site to handle these users. Considering the total people using a mobile phone to surf in a business environment is minimal so you want to minimize the additional webmaster time spent supporting this implementation.

I found this script at http://www.brainhandles.com/2007/10/15/detecting-mobile-browsers/ that detects mobile phones. It’s very simple to implement. I call this script and use it to decide what parts of a page to send to the visitor. For example the top nav on our main site is graphics, by checking the visitor is mobile I output an unordered list of navigation links.
