    I believe that iWeb uses flash, which is okay on a computer, but you can't get flash on an iPhone, which is why your site would display as under construction.

     

    If you only have one page, then why not re-build it in another application that is actually fully supported and is being regularly updated, which iWeb is not - is has not been sold or supported by Apple for the last 3 years at least and does not use the most up-to-date technology.

     

    Take a look at the other alternates out there such as Rapid Weaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express 7,  WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb.

     

    You can download trials of most to see if you like them before you buy them.

    Had the same issue on the ipage.com host and had to edit my .htaccess file on how to handle mobile browsers.

     

    In my case I commented out (#) any commands for a mobile browser since my page show up fine on any browser.

     

    # mobile rules

    # ----------------------------------------------------

     

    #RewriteRule ^$ /mobile/index.html [S=1,PT]

     

    #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mobile/$1 [PT]

     

    I # out the RewriteRule lines.

     

    Hope this gets you headed in the right direction.

     

    Thanks!
