We're here to help facilitate the growth and use of the Mobile Web!
When explaining on my
blog how companies can use their current URL for their mobile sites, I received a reply from the General Manager of www.mtld.mobi:
"An elegant, self-detecting technical solution is not in reach of the everyday small business owner or individual." (Neil Edwards on 04/10/2006)
That 'elegant, self-detecting solution' is now available, in PHP, CFML and ASP! We call it MobileRedirect. We also provide a mobile website 'rapid development framework' for PHP and CFML called MobileLaunch, which brings a quality mobile Website within the reach of anyone.
Why would you want to use MobileRedirect and MobileLaunch? Because the people at .mobi think such a solution will create an "ideal world," please read on...
In an ideal world, the client-side device type would direct the type of page served, but that is not how things have evolved.
The fact is the majority of the 80 plus million sites across the web do not work well on mobile devices and do not detect device type before redirecting you. (.mobi blog on 11/07/06)
Unfortunately, the folks at .mobi continue by stating that they've solved these problems by selling you yet another domain, when in fact, the problems would still exist after you buy a .mobi domain name. This site not only serves to provide you with mobile Web solutions, but also tips, and suggestions on how to best plan your mobile site. In the comming weeks, we'll add a forum for developers, marketers and executives to interact and discuss mobile Web development.
