7. Shows the bare minimum – simplicity!
Fewer images
Different domain name?
Test on different phones
Examples: mobileawesomeness.com
(click on “gallery”)
8. We want fast, free and easy!
There are several sites where you can
design a mobile site. Unfortunately, most
have ads or a monthly charge.
Examples:
Zindadoo.com
Mobiforge.com
Wirenode.com
9. Here’s one that’s free and ad-free (for
now) – winksite.com
Sign up/sign in
15. Be sure to link to your mobile site from
your full
site:http://winksite.mobi/librarysite/mlk
Or buy a domain name (as low as $2-3 a
year for a .info), then do a redirect to
your mobile site
16. Ideally, your site would automatically detect the iPhone/Blackberry/etc. and send
user to the ideal site
However, this requires coding/scripting that’s way beyond me.
But you can try this site: detectmobilebrowser.com/
17. Library Anywhere!
