develop Web sites for mobiles

Question

Hi All,

I want to implement "mobile website provider" tool. Basically, It intake desktop website url and generate a mobile version of website without edit/add additional content to the desktop website. I am planning to design a product like (what mofuse.com does. This website create mobile websites). This tool should be hassle free to client(who are not tech savvy.)

1.Q) I want to know kind of functionality involved in this process.

2.Q) In Java Technology, I need the tool set and functionality of this actitity.

As I am new to this mobile application environment. Any information(web links) regarding this will be appreciated.

Update:

its not like skweezer.com.

I had a website and I want to "mobile"ize it. 1) What kind of java tool set I have to use to create mobile web site? 2) How to test in multiple mobile devices 3) How the domain name will be created for mobile websites.

Answer 1

there are certain plugins which mobilise your website . they check user agent and if user agent is of mobile browser they load another css of mobile and if you want to redirect some another redirect it ther.

you dont have to buy separate domain make sub domain or cname like

m.yourdomain.ccom wap.yaourdomain.com

try some javacripts code which detect browser type and redirect accordingly.
