We are running two separate sites, since a mobile user is likely to use the
site in a much different way than someone on a device with a larger screen
(yes we could run it through the same system with selection). I am hesitant
to use anything that forces a user to your mobile site. They should see a
link or something else that notifies them that their is a mobile option and
they can then choose whether they want the mobile or full site.
Some presentations that I have been seeing recently aim for sending css
based on max screen size of the device.
On a related note. I created a basic library mobile site using css and html,
but I am thinking about releasing an updated form using the MIT mobile
framework. I know MIT uses it and that Bucknell University just released a
beta of their main university site using the framework. Is anyone using the
MIT framework or any others? If so what are your experiences with them?
