Smart phones are eliminating the need for a mobile site builder.:) I loved my Palm Pre but it needed some work and I was eligible for an upgrade so I took the plunge into the Iphone 4S yesterday. Behaves a lot like my Palm but is way faster. Sites render just like they did with my Palm. My Palm didn't support Flash either so the transition was seamless.:lol:

If CC had no intentions of creating a mobile site builder, for whatever reason, why was this thread allowed to continue? It should have been nipped in the bud. I think we've all got the message by now. However, I do respect their reasons for declining.

It's a suggestion thread. Shall we close all suggestion threads that haven't been developed yet?;):)

Eric, we can suggest until we're blue in the face, but if CC gives the thumbs down we're wasting our time. This thread has been running for quite some time now and postings are getting less and less frequent as people are realising it's a no-go situation.
I won't be posting anymore to this thread as I think it's run its course.
Have a nice evening.

BTW: That's a lovely looking dog you've got there

Not to mention, I've heard from some iphone/pad users that they don't like sites created for their device, so will go to the actual site instead. I never would have thought of that, but I've been "picking a lot of brains" lately trying to figure out the best way to create sites for every friggin browser and device out there.

Now I think a few mobile device templates for the HTML Editor would be better than a whole new program.



To take full advantage of iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch for web browsing and site use, a site needs to be made incorporating smart features for iOS. More often than not, the "site" will actually be a web app which tries to be as much as it can to as many mobile platforms as it can.

In the USA, Andriod and Blackberry are still dominant.

Downunder in the Land of Oz, iOS rules the roost.

Regardless, scalability needs to be built in.

For mobile web right at the sharpest edge, we have partnered with Joindup to provide bespoke mobile using the platforms they developed specifically for smart mobile - PocketPage and PanelPage. A PanelPage site displays and performss perfectly on any computing device, though smart features (touch, pinch, flick, face recognition {for which they have won much critical acclaim including from Daring Fireball} etc) work only on smart devices.

Our role is in creating the content, an area in which mobile presents some unique challenges.

A fully scalable and adaptive PanelPage site is not a DIY solution. However, a full CMS can be provided for competent webmasters.

I've found VSD sites to work fine on mobile - although any Flash content will not appear on iOS devices. Apple forbids it.

In Australia, mobile accounts for about 40% of site visitation and growing. Of that, iOS represents about 80%.

Of course, mobilisation is a critical consideration for every website owner. If a site is not mobile friendly, you can say it receives only about half the traffic it could receive.

I like CoffeeCup. I believe that as the head honchos build a "head of steam" in the "kitchen", it will be a priority to deliver scalable solutions, richly compliant in HTML5 and CSS. Not to do so would send CC in the same direction as Flash. Why do you think Adobe are going hell-for-leather to develop their own HTML5 replacement solution?

I believe, after so many years in business and being very successful, CoffeeCup will continue to find innovative and vital ways to not only remain relevent but to do so at the cutting edge of website tools. I do hope so. :D I also believe the only way to survive on the web right now is to be versatile. Things change and date very quickly!

By the way, we believe we might just have launched the world's first HTML5 Flash animation replacement to play on iPhone and iPad. Could this be possible? We are in Wollongong City of Innovation, after all. (The HTML5 isn't as fully featured as the original Flash, which we made with Firestarter). But with so many sites to surf, we can't be certain that we're first. Ours is at http://www.wild1.com.au. Has anyone seen another? :rolleyes:
