I’m developing a website and we are building some pages for mobiles.
Should we force mobile users to go to the mobile site or present them with an option to select mobile or regular views.
I know that almost all mobile websites do not give you the opportunity to choose if you come up with a mobile device they just force you to mobile site.
What’s the best practice?
Thanks in advance.
MTDetect on your Desktop website.
Automatically redirect to your mobile website based on what devices/resolutions you want to service.
Provide a “Desktop” link on the mobile site to take users back to the Desktop website.
Alternatively, you can set up a mechanism on your Desktop to allow users to “subscribe” to the desktop website only using a cookie. Your desktop code would look for the cookie, if it wasn’t there then the MTDetect would fire and redirect to the mobile would ensue.
A more advanced approach is to build a Device Agnostic Responsive Layout that molds itself to the dimensions of the device/desktop browser.
