There are two sites for a hardwood floor company: a full site and a mobile site.<\/p>\n
1. First, you need a script that redirects mobile users to the mobile site.<\/p>\n
We used Chris Coyier’s clever solution<\/a>: tell any device with a screen less than 699 pixels wide to go to the mobile site!<\/p>\n 2. Then, we need to figure out how to give mobile users access to the full site – if they choose to click on the “Go to full site” link on the mobile site.<\/p>\n One solution suggested by Geoffrey Freedom is to make a different (clone) home page \u00a0without the redirect script — and use it to link mobile users to the Full site.<\/p>\n That solution presents a few problems: 1. why would you want to make a whole new full site for mobile users? 2. Google penalizes for duplicate content 3. Making only a home page clone doesn’t solve the problem of mobile users who go to different pages on the site.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, the “clone” solution is very nice if only the home page of the site has the mobile redirect.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The solution we chose is that of Sam Dunn at buildinternet.com:\u00a0http:\/\/buildinternet.com\/2011\/01\/add-a-mobile-landing-page-to-your-site\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n It suggests that a mobile page has a very specific function: to give mobile users fast bare-bones information on a telephone – a phone number, an address, directions, hours of operation, or other facts that somebody on the road needs to make a decision. However, if the mobile user prefers to get more information and follow a link to the full site, he has a chance to see the full site.<\/p>\n Sam Dunn’s solution uses a script by Sebarmeli<\/a>: redirection_mobile.min.js<\/a>.<\/p>\n He configures the script so that a mobile user is redirected by the Full Site only once <\/em>by a cookie that lasts for an hour. If the mobile user clicks on the link to the full site he is not redirected a second time.<\/p>\n Elegant and clever!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are two sites for a hardwood floor company: a full site and a mobile site. 1.
