Hello,
I apologize for resurrecting this thread if there is more appropriate place for this conversation then let me know. This one was the best I could find when searching the forum for "Mobile".
I would love to know what other Get Simple developers are doing when it comes to mobile websites for their customers. Most customers I know are OK with just the main pages displaed on a mobile device with a big "Call me" and "Find me" buttons. ie Not all pages have to be displayed.
I'm finding it hard to think of a clean solution that meets all the criteria though.
1) Only certain, select pages to be shown on the mobile device
2) Customer to only edit the one page to make changes and those changes to be seen on both the standard and mobile websites. ie not the need to make the same change twice.
3) Handle the images that are inserted by the customer for both the standard and mobile devices. ie image sizes changes depending on the device.
I understand that some training maybe involved for the customer and as long as it's not too complicated then I can document the procedure.
Does anyone know if there is a clean solution - having two installations seems a bit like an over kill, is a responsive design the only way, how does this handle user uploaded images and then those images needing to be resized depending on the browser size?? (I'm just learning responsive design so this maybe obvious to some but not to me I'm afraid)
Hope to hear from some other web developers in how they handle this type of situation. An up to date plugin that handles everything would be fantastic but apart from that old one that was mentioned above and the Mobile Theme changer that also was last updated nearly two years ago there doesn't seem to be anything else.
Anyway, hope to create a conversation about this topic.
