Compatibility with mobile phones

Post by burlington »

I have been asked by someone who I am doing a website for. CMSMS version 1.10.3

"Will the website be compatible with mobiles."

I don't know how to answer this one. The site has the standard 'accessibility etc' and 'handheld' stylesheets attached to it.

How do I answer this please other than to say 'try it'?

Thanks

Hi Martin,

I think your customer wants a site that adapts to small screens, along the lines of "responsive design". At least that's what my customers are asking for. Are you using media queries specifying different browser widths to select your stylesheets? (It's easy to do in CMSMS. See my post earlier today.) I try to limit myself to 3 stylesheets, targeting phones, "pads" (iPad and notebooks) and full-size screens, and solving the rest using fluid layout. (Was this what you meant? I may have misunderstood...)
