Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Some sites do it all for you but look terrible. They charge a monthly fee that may go up quickly. Others will sell you a hosting plan with a template but not how to link up to my page so viewers get redirected? Then I will have two separate hosting companies and will need to change all content twice.
Has anyone figured this out?
It might end up being impossible for me to keep my website. Since I did it all myself with iWeb, and iWeb doesn't have a mobile option, either I build a new site with another tool then try and get it to redirect, or I am forced to dump iWeb and find a new program or service to provide me with both types of web pages.
If there were enough folks in this position, someone could write a patch and then we could buy it.
The mobile option in iWeb is simply a smaller width of the page.
To redirect to such page, you have to use a javascript.
<script type="text/javascript">
// Change the number of the screen width to suit the desired screen.
if (screen.width <= 768) {
window.top.location.href = "http://www.domain.com/THE-PAGENAME-IT-SHOULD-DIRECT-TO.html";
}
</script>
Paste the code in a HTML Snippet and move it to the top of the page and then to the back (Command-Shift-B)
When a mobile device user arrives at your desktop size page, he will be redirect to the smaller page as defined in the script.
You don't need to change web hosts or anything like that.
Nobody is going to bother writing a patch for iWeb now - it has not be sold or supported by Apple for at least the last 3 years and has not been updated for the last six years, so why anybody would want to write a patch for an unsupported product, goodness only knows.
Perhaps you should consider moving forward and ditching iWeb - if you go for a programme likeEverWeb, which is very like iWeb, then you can have a mobile version of your site too right from inside the application with no worries.
Check it out, it is very like iWeb in look and feel.
Thank you so much, I will try it!
I used iWeb to make a small business webpage. I now need a mobile site. What is the best way to do that?
