How Much Costs A Mobile Website ? Do You Know Any Company Selling These Websites ?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

People are more and more online from Mobiles or tabs as Ipad and Galaxy tabs, so it is more and more useful to have a special version of your website to be easily checked on mobile devices.

Can you tell me if you have a mobile version of your site and who made it ? And for how much ?

If you are developer/coder you can also contact me by PM.

I need someone who can start from an already existing Drupal website and adapt it to mobile.

Thank you.

any freelance developer could do it if you make a project on elance or scriptlance

i think screens are getting larger rapidly and people have figured out how to zoom in to find what they want on a page quicky

a standard site might be fine ,i dont use the mobile thaivisa because the clasic one is more functional

I too think that mobile web sites are inferior to the desktop mode. I have deleted the Thai Visa app too. I use My Yahoo for a home page and use the standard desktop format.

Obviously it depends what purposes your website serves, and which customer set you are trying to address, but mobile oriented sites or even Android/Apple apps. are certainly a way to expand your reach. On my Android phone I prefer mobile-versioned sites/Android Apps, I can't imagine anyone not preferring them, on a mobile platform, especially when considering mobile bandwidth?

Examples:

SFCinemacity

Major Cineplex

Tru Visions

DTAC

ThaiVisa (brilliant implementation BTW)

Amazon

BBC News

eBay

FlightAware

Huff Po

IMDb

NewEgg

NY Times

On the Fly

Thai Lottery

Weather Channel

XDA

YouTube

i dont worry about bandwidth at all ,many 3G packages are unlimited thesedays

i think they work out cheaper /more convenient than buying date or time limited packages which expire rapidly

I think with drupal or any other cms, like wordpress, joomla, u will not be able to do it, because of their template structure. Usually the only difference with their templates is a 1, 2, or 3 column layout with either a fixed (usually 960 pixel ) width or a floating width, but floating widths still cannot shrink forever, I think their limit might be 800 pixel wide, You could make a separate domain e.g. www.mobile.yourpresentdomainname, but if u want to post updated blogs and comments i don't think it would work

Regarding Drupal, many of the popular themes are claiming the feature of "responsive web design". For example with Zen on Drupal 7 the number of columns presented is automatically chosen based on the device (e.g. 1 column for mobile, 3 columns for desktop). So if the OP is using (or can upgrade to) Drupal 7 and the current template is not too complex, it should be possible to have a single site that displays ok on most devices. Their should be no need for a special mobile version or domain for your site. Of course as the posters above said, it depends on your content.

Don't bother. Most modern mobile devices can cope with a 'standard' webpage and offering a dumbed down version just irritates people. Just don't use an ultra-wide fixed layout, and try to avoid heavy reliance on Javascript, as a lot of mobile browsers still aren't 100% on that.
