Starting a mobile version

  • I want to make my portfolio mobile friendly. How would I go about doing this?

    Do I create a new css file for the mobile version and link to it? if so what do I put to link to the mobile css?

    Are there any good tutorials on creating a mobile website that anyone can share?

    Thank you

  • It all depends on how your current site is structured in HMTL & CSS.

    It may not be possible or at least very difficult to convert your existing site to mobile without seriously considering a total rebuild.

    Do you have a link to your current site?

  • no sorry, I just created the site and didn't upload the new theme yet. I'm going to be converting it into wordpress.

  • Then it's going to be tough to help you because we don't know what the site looks like and how it's coded.

  • If you're going to be converting it to WordPress, there's three options: make a responsive theme, use a theme switcher, or a plugin like WPtouch. WordPress' 2011 theme is already responsive.

    I've been playing around with some responsive themes and had success, but like Paulie_D said, it would take some rebuilding.

  • Your website's HTML/CSS structure very important for mobile version when you on simple web , or when work on CMS like wordpress you can change your theme to responsive for it
