Q: 

Mobile Website Development

Are there any tools for Mobile Website (not Mobile Application) Development?

For computer websites, CSS grids like Blueprint CSS are used. Is there any thing similar for the mobile version?

There's lot of talk about HTML5 + CSS3 + Javascript - a combination thats going to transform Mobile Websites. Not sure how true. Any good tutorials or starting points that you could suggest.

Thanks.

+1  A: 

For touch devices jqtouch is a good solution. There are also commercial ones like Sencha Touch.

For [1] I would say "yes, if you have the time". You should use the same html but different CSS. Touch screens can give better UX and are usually larger then non-touch.

For [2], yes they are different. I don't know JQuery Mobile enough to say if it's better, worse, or the same. I only know that it is quite new.
