formmailer Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi all, A couple of months ago there was a discussion about having a mobile version of a PW website. I wondered if there is someone who actually made a mobile site. It would be interesting to see a site like this in the showcase forum. /Jasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliez Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Are you guys using Responsive Web Design? or are you guys doing custom websites putting mobile in a subdomain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogo Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I used responsive design here http://www.max-cafe-bar.de/. but no images were involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveP Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I just did one - responsive, using http://foundation.zurb.com/. It is live, but needs just a little bit more work before I'd be happy publicising it. Just thinking about it, PW is probably the perfect platform for delivering a desktop and a mobile version - you could use subsets of the same content, which is a solution to the argument against separate mobile versions needing separate maintenance - it would just be two sets of templates. That said, responsive designs even alleviate that need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formmailer Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) Cool, looking forward to see these designs. Diogo and DaveP, your designs looked pretty good on a mobile! Edited March 16, 2012 by formmailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think I'm going to use the two template approach on one site just because it's a reasonably complicated layout and is quite image-heavy when you get into the articles. That way I can serve up a mobile-optimised layout with much smaller images. Just got to finish the normal site first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveP Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Cool, looking forward to see these designs. Diogo and DaveP, your designs looked pretty good on a mobile! Just to clarify, Foundation is the framework I used for the new site, not the actual site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read your reply carfully enough, sorry about that. Anyway, the Foundation framework website looks pretty good on a mobile phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kiss Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yeah, we want with the responsive option, even though there were parts, that are maybe little complicated, like responsive content slider... Maybe even over-engineered a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherAndrew Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I used media queries to make a PW site responsive, at least for the iPhone. Pretty easy and fun to do. Check it out either on a mobile or simply rescale your browser. It was fun to set up and easy to do. http://www.eastsidenurseryschool.org The only thing I am not fond of is my treatment of the sub navigation menu on some pages. If anyone has suggestions I would love to hear them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Knoll Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 @diogo: I guess I'll better should show "Artkel" and "Notizen" instead of "Suche" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogo Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm not a big fan of hiding things. maybe they could be accommodated some how... I still like your blog very much! I even subscribed to your feed, even tough I don't know German edit: why not keeping two buttons: menu and suche, and put all your navigation on a vertical dropdown on the menu button? just throwing the first thing that came to my mind...
