I want to build a game for windows phone 7 using Silverlight (it’s not that complicated to require XNA). Can I deploy the application as both Silverlight 4 web site and Silverlight WP7 game? Is that a large effort?
Thanks.

Yes Theorically you can develop common application for both platforms even there are some third party common libraries for both platforms Like Facebook v5 API.
You should only make few tweaks/changes in your applications so that they can run well on Windows Phone and Silverlight On Browser.
You can have the example of those applications from
create.msdn.com.
From here you can see variety of sample applications having some common logic and some layer of platform specific logic in various example.
Windows Phone provides some additional APIs to silverlight.
I am already creatinga common universal app for both platforms . This simply required making few changes in UI part of Coding in you applications.Remaining parts can be reused.
I hope this helps upto some extent
