Hello Piper

Yes! Website X5 i fully compatible with smartphones.

I would recommend making a optimized version of the page, like I have;

www.m.wavebooking.dk - www.m.lenekersting.dk

Then you can use this code for redirection:

<scripttype="text/javascript"> if (screen.width < 800) [removed].replace('http://m.webwawes.dk/'); </script>

Hope this helps!

Henrik

H,

Does this mean I have to create two websites, one for normal computer browsers and another for mobile devices? Then use your redirect script to automatically detect which site to use?

@3D   I think what you want is a RESPONSIVE website.  A single website that displays like a traditional website when visited by desktop computers but automatically adjusts to display correctly in a variety of mobile devices.   In a Responsive website is what you want, WordPress is your best bet.  But unless you are a great WP coder, you probably won't be happy the results of using a responsive WP template.  ALSO, responsive sites don't work that well for big corporate sites with a lot of pages and content.

Piper's solution is the 'standard' method for deploying a mobile site.  In effect, the mobile site is a companion to the traditional website.  When a mobile device visits your website, the 'redirect script' sends the visitor to the companion mobile site.  So, yes, it means creating and maintaining two seperate websites. 

LASTLY, the Redirect Script offered by Piper sucks big time.  I can tell just by looking at it that many types of mobile devices won't get redirected to the mobile site...but sent on to the traditional site that won't display nicely.

Preston,

Thank you for your honesty..

I need to make a website similar to this:

http://www.xsitelasertag.com/

simple header graphic, with drop down button menus that go to different pages and

other random buttons and graphics within the page..

The client wants to make sure it looks good in mobile browsers.. In fact, if you go to that website on your mobile device, you'll see it is a different site optimized for mobile..

Possible?

@3D http://www.xsitelasertag.com/is a perfect example of the traditional website with a companion mobile site.  Companion mobile sites are pretty basic and thus fairly simple to make.  You try to match the overall style of the main site rather than replicate the main site.

Usually the companion mobisite is parked in a subdomain of the main website.  Then you use a redirect script to 'send' mobile devices to the mobisite.   Thus, the mobile visitor inputs your main site's url and gets bounced over to the mobisite.  Simple process, really, but for the essential redirect script.

The tricky part is writing a good redirect script that catches most mobile devices and sends them to the mobisite.  Piper's script probably works OK, but I doubt it redirects the majority of mobile devices.  It isn't easy to find a good redirect script.  Those Web devos who produce a good script won't usually share them with the world.  Redirect scripts seem to fall into the category of 'trade secrets', so to speak.

If you opted for WordPress, you can find some excellent WP plug-ins that act as easy mobisite makers.  I believe WPTouch is a popular example (but not the best mobisite WP plug-in).  ALSO, THE VERY BEST REDIRECT SCRIPT WAS MADE FOR WP.

Is 'xsite' possible to create in WP?  Absolutely yes...but WP is a whole different ballgame from WebSite X5.  WP is a bit more challenging than X5.  Check out iThemes Builder framework, which makes developing WP sites much easier.  Or look at StudioPress and Premise.  Those two make WP easier too. 

As far as WebSite X5 producing a site like 'xsite', I wouldn't know yet.  I just bought X5 yesterday.  (But X5 should be able to make an 'xsite'.)

@3D  Opps...I meant H. Hendrick's redirect script is a little too simple.  I guess I inadvertently referred to it as yours.  

Hi Piper

Yes! You would have to maintain to different pages, but the mobile one, dosen't have to be as big as the main page. The mobile pages today is simple to get out the most important informations. The page you reffered to, is ok at my PC and Mac, but when I visit it with my iPhone, it's not that good at all..

Therefore the "easy way" is not exsisting, if you don't have some coding skills - sorry.

Btw. the script that I use, is actually very good. The only thing that sucks, is people who doesn't test things before they open their big mouths.

Sincerely, Henrik
