Websites on Phones

[Andrea]

My client wants to know what it would take to make his site http://tinyurl.com/4acs8sz work on phones. I think it should work as is, but don't have a phone to test it. Could someone here look and let me know if it does show up decent - or what I would need to do to make work on phones as well. I had another client turn his sites into .mobi, but that seemed like overkill - aka somebody sold him what he already had.

Looks good on my phone

Looks the same as it does in IE9.

Thanks for looking, Corinne and Andy - Andy, what kind of phone did you test with?

Looks perfect on my iPhone. Whenever I encounter a made for mobile site I immediately change it to the full site. I wouldn't bother. All these newer phones and tablets don't need a dumbed down site. They work better than my XP.

Yep, any newish smartphones will render clean HTML + CSS with no mods required.

 

... So since I know that's what you do, you should be OK.

 

Also keep in mind that the older phones are irrelevant since anyone surfing the Web with a phone these days, will practically always have a smartphone.
