MobileRedirect

ASP
CFML
PHP

Add MobileRedirect to your website, and use your current Web address as your Mobile address. It's easier for people to remember, and easier for you to promote. MobileRedirect provides a simple solution for detecting and redirecting mobile devices on your website. Available in multiple programming languages, takes a minute to setup and very affordable - give it try! How it works

Your Mobile Site, the Right Way

You've put a lot of work into your current site, in addition to promoting it's address: MyCompanySite.com. Your customers and potential customers either know this address, or they'll figure it out by typing your company name in and '.com' at the end. But what happens when they use a mobile device, what do you use as the URL?

If you want to maximize your marketing and branding efforts, you want to use one address for both your site on the Web, and your mobile site. Don't require people to have to remember two URLs. Instead, promote one URL for both sites, and use a scripting to identify which site should be displayed to the site visitor.

Simple, Fast, and Easy to Use

MobileRedirect is a small and easy to use solution you can add to PHP, CFML or ASP websites in seconds. Our script was created by studying more than 10,600 mobile device User Agent strings, and creating a condensed solution which identifies more than 96% of all mobile devices (test was conducted with the most recent copy of WURFL in March 2009). While you could import WURFL into your own database, and check every new site user session to see if they're using a mobile device, this adds unnecessary work for your database and site.

To use, you add the script/function (either in PHP, CFML or ASP) to something like an 'application' file - which is included in each request, then configure it by adding your mobile site's url. For example: mobile.MyCompanySite.com. That's all!

Below are the details for the script:

VERSION 1

Test Data: March 2009
Mobile Devices Total: 10,613
Mobile Devices Found: 10,204
Mobile Devices Not Found: 409
Percent Found: 96.1%

The 3.9% of devices that are not found are uncommon. We could achieve a 100% success rate with identifying mobile devices, but instead, we have focused on the majority of devices while keeping the script as small and fast as possible.

What is Included

Redirect Script - this one takes all requests and forwards mobile and portable devices to a single URL, usually your mobile site homepage
Advanced Redirect Script - same as the standard, except it will include any directories, the requested file, and any variables in the request URL. This will basically redirect a request to the 'mobile version' of the same page. The advanced version will require you to do additional work to handle any requests to your mobile site that do not exist. Keep in mind that your error page must be viewable on the given device!
Session and Non-Session Versions - we also provide versions of our script that use a session variable so the script isn't run upon each page view for those viewing your standard Website. If you aren't using session variables, no problem, we provide versions which do not use a session variable at all.
Mobile Settings Script - this script is run on your mobile site, it will establish what the DocType should be, and which version of your mobile site should be displayed. Even if you plan to 'not' support WML only phones, you should still provide a WML page with your company information on it as a bare minimum.
Multiple Languages - all three of the listed scripts come in: PHP, CFML and classic ASP
