(c) to technical for me to understand

I will set it up shortly on my delorean site probably Monday

Viv are you requesting a mobile site builder based on VSD? You can already make a site geared towards mobile devices with VSD. With today's Smart phones I like browsing the full blown site myself because I usually go to sites that I'm familiar with from browsing on my laptop and like getting the same page on my cellar communication device. Plus I have FX home setup and when I leave my pc I can open the app on my Iphone and all the tabs that I had open on my laptop are instantly available to me along with all my bookmarks and history.

Hi Eric, No i was putting this up for sole purpose of finding out if it may answer some of the many requests for CC to make a mobile site program.

Domainmonster are offering it FREE with every .com or .net extension registered with them, so i just thought it might be useful, problem as usual for me is its beyond me especially as i dont use mobile phones except for making and receiving phone calls and the odd text message (about 2 a month)

I have set up my .net address with the afore mentioned free app for mobile use, on this domain http://www.deloreanjewellery.net

Hopefully those of you who understand mobile use can confirm if it does the job or not.

Theoretically as it is a parked domain the .co.uk should automatically work on it as well ??? not sure

Hi Viv and Eric (and all others),

Coffeecup already sells a mobile editor: the HTML editor. VSD is no mobile editor because it produces only fixed-with designs, while a site that adapts automatically to the screen it is shown upon should have a liquid, fluid or responsive design. The HTML editor has several templates to start designing a mobile site....

Although a fixed with design can be seen on a mobile device, you must zoom in to see it correctly if the width of the site is bigger than the mobile device screen width resolution, and then you'll have to scroll horizontally. And I guess you all know that your visitors hate horizontal scrolling... So unless you make a site with VSD that has a width of, let's say 320 pixels (not very OK isn't it?), your visitors have to scroll horizontally.....

VSD will never be able to produce a fluid or liquid design (so Scottt says). So you have to use the HTML editor for that. One of my most 'adventurous' sites is www.harryniehof.nl. There is a main site, made with VSD, with a fixed-width design, and 2 subsites, one for Apple mobile devices (no Flash), and one for Android and Nokia devices with Flash and Firefox (Firefox doesn't play MP3 files), both made with the HTML editor (I used the HTML code produced by VSD for that of course, and pasted it into the fluid design template of the HTML editor). The main site detects what browser you use on what device, and switches to the right subsite automatically, or doesn't switch at all, if you use a desktop or laptop system. See the source code to find out how I did this...

Success, John

Something I recently came across:
http://jquerymobile.com/

It would be great if CC would add some responsive and/or adaptive templates to the Editor choices.
Sometimes a separate mobile site just isn't practical

The HTML Editor has several fluid (or adaptive or liquid) templates to choose from (4 three columns, 3 two columns and 5 hybrid). See the default layout templates. And of course you can make your own responsive website by incorporating this into your design: http://www.sitepoint.com/responsive-web … G5HlZ8vAO- (thanks for the tip, Inger, Jo Ann and Keith, see thread http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/html-ed … -websites/

Success, John

And here is a nice tool to see how you site will look on different devices if you don't (or do) use a fluid, responsive, adaptive or liquid design. If you don't use one of these designs, horizontal scrolling will be your fate... http://mattkersley.com/responsive/

Thanks for the link to that test site, John.
Very useful!

That's great, John, thanks!

I've been experimenting with Skeleton ( http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials … rting-out/)
...But having never coded an entire site before, it's quite the challenge

The CC themes look easier to use. I found one of the HTML5 themes (2 col, fluid) that almost works for what I need, just have to figure out how to reverse the columns/sections to get the nav and extras on the left with the content on the right.

WARNING – I may have to break out of my VSD confines and go pick some brains in the Editor forum
