    Dear All,

    I am going to start a new MODx project. The client asked me to have a smartphone version.
    I also created a different smartphone version with Jquerymobile.

    How do you suggest me to have a smartphone version with MODx?

    I have a new and proper HTML5 template and I am not sure if I should adapt it for a smartphone version or if I should create a jquerymobile version.

    Which best step should I start with, keeping in mind that the web site will be build with MODx

    Cheers
    • Pick your poison. Whatever you prefer. There are some Extras that detect mobile, or you can use your favorite responsive framework.

      At http://modx.com/extras/ (or package management) you will find a few frameworks to install into MODX such as Bootstrap, Foundation (stand alone v3.2, or Flexibility with v3.1), HTML5 Boilerplate, and a couple others I forget about.

          Responsive web design is not always an option. We have a large site that needs a separate mobile site on a subdomain (m.website.com) with trimmed down content and options.

          I'm using a detection script (http://mobiledetect.net/) to detect the visitors device and then re-direct them to the mobile site. Of course also allowing them to view the full site if they wish and set a cookie to remember their preference.
