Found Tips on designing you site for Mobile Devices:

Some day ago my friend Lucas asked to me some suggest to design a mobile version of his blog. So, in this post I want to illustrate some simple tips about how to develop a mobile version of your site such as: choosing an URL address for your mobile site version, using a redirect script for mobile devices, designing a mobile-friendly layout using CSS and HTML and (if you are a WordPress user) using a free WordPress plugin to develop your mobile site quikly.






Choose an URL address for the mobile version of your site
First step is choosing an URL address for the mobile version of your site. You have some options, for example, you can create a folder (mobile) in the root of your site so your mobile version will be publishet at this URL: Complete eCommerce Hosting from YourSite.Com.





...or if you can add custom sub domains to your domain, you can use an url like this http://m.yoursite.com or http://mobile.yoursite.com which links to the folder mobile which will contain all files of your mobile site version.


Redirect script for mobile devices
The second step is creating a redirect script for mobile devices. It's not necessary, but it's useful to redirect automatically all traffic coming from mobile devices to the mobile version of your site. For more info about this topic take a look at the following links:
