Hi Alan,
As mentioned. I'm not looking for a CSS solution, but rather a HTML one where different HTML is served if the user-agent is a smartphone.
CSS Media Queries can work in some situations, but not for all. For example, taking the following page - http://www.flybmi.com/bmi/en-gb/index.aspx - and using a mixture of CSS and display none; to output http://www.flybmi.com/mobile would result in a mobile site full of hidden/wasted code.
Hi Tommy,
This doesn't provide any technical answers unfortunately, and refers to mobile devices as opposed to smartphones. Googlebot-mobile is designed for WAP/iMode etc. style websites, Google on smartphones, tablets etc. displays the same results as the desktop version.
Hello,
Does anyone know of any resources or tutorials that outline how to serve a smartphone-formatted website using the same URL as the full site?
I know that one solution is using media-queries to serve a seperate CSS stylesheet, but you still have the full HTML source code. In other words, I might want to serve a smartphone & desktop user different content, but under one URL.
WP Touch (Wordpress Plugin) is a perfect example of what I mean, but how is it technically achieved? It serves two different sets of HTML for smartphone & full, but using one URL
