When I see a mobile version of a website, such as m.nytimes.com, am I looking at a duplication of the main website’s page, formatted to view better on a handheld? Or, is it some coding that is reconfiguring the structure? I have worked with using “display:none” tags in my CSS, but I’d like to have more design control for my mobile viewing.
What I’d like to be able to do is have a different Home page for mobile devices, e.g.: m.mywebsite.com.
Hey laptophobo,
You will have to create a subdomain on your domain called m and then redirect traffic using phones to that domain.

Hi Rikard. Creating the “m.” subdomain I get. What I was wondering is if the content is duplicated for the mobile version–thus creating redundant content.
Hi,
If you have a separate domain like m.yoursite or mobile.yoursite it is considered a separate site, so unless you sync the content in some way you would have to manage the mobile site separately.

Rikard
Okay, that’s what I thought. Thanks for the feedback.
