This is the first release for testing of our mobile version of our large community website.
Its designed for smartphones in mind.
I would love to here your feedback on it. We plan to add goelocation in the second phase of release.
Cheers

I’m not a big fan though of using the jquery mobile styling for web pages, I think it’s better reserved for apps myself. I much prefer more custom looking mobile sites, but that’s just my opinion.
October 7, 2011 at 1:42 pm #88694ginadeangelisMemberI like the lay out of your mobile site. Navigation seems easy enough for the common user to understand. Looks like you are on the right track! Congrats
October 7, 2011 at 4:40 pm #88707standuncanMemberI like the site. Congrats
@TT_Mark, I was curious why you would rather have one design/site instead of two? It seems to me that with a separate “mobile” friendly site you could have a lot less file size and a lot quicker load speeds? And then have a responsive desktop version in case someone with a smaller screen (or any size for that matter) wants to access your “desktop” site. This is what I am building now with my own portfolio.October 7, 2011 at 10:18 pm #88714chrisburtonParticipantOctober 12, 2011 at 12:39 pm #88969standuncanMemberI definitely agree with replacing images when you can. I have been doing that as much as I can lately, with images for IE since I work a lot with gradients and I don’t like the IE Filter grads.
I was just thinking if you have a lot more content on the desktop version and use CSS to not display it on the mobile version, but the content would still be loading in the markup.
I am still trying to develop a separate mobile site, but like I said a responsive desktop site as well. It’s good practice for me. So I can always just use the responsive desktop site and not the mobile if I want. Thanks for your input.
October 12, 2011 at 1:25 pm #88977shameek_cMemberAwesome stuff ! What tools did you use to build it ?
October 12, 2011 at 4:53 pm #88993Steven GardnerParticipantCheers Guys for all the great feedback.
There’s a lot of good points and things I need to change & improve. I think I need to take a look at speeding things up a bit by removing images where I can. But as I say its still in its testing phase.
I had considered developing a responsive design for this but the full site is massive and has a complicated navigational structure that I don’t think will work too well on a mobile.
@shameek_c I used the Jquery Mobile Framework with HTML5.
@TT_Mark I will definitely have a look at the google link.Thanks again for the valuable advise.
