Depending on the size of your website, turnaround can range from 1-week to 1-month. As a ballpark, the cost is $1000 to $2500. As always, I encourage your questions and you can reach me here.

Making a Mobile Version of Your Site with Mobify.me

I recently asked my Detroit friend and fellow Michigan graduate Jin Kim how he goes about deploying mobile sites. The variance of browsers in the mobile space proves it's far worse than the desktop. Not to mention so many different screen sizes. It's a mess! Detecting for mobile browsers should take place at the server/CMS level. Detecting with JavaScript could result in latency between the server calls and what's rendered in the browser. Rather than deal with all of this, a few minutes with Google searching for "mobile websites" led me to Mobify.me. Mobify.me takes out the guesswork of mobile browser detection and makes it easy to serve up a pretty, mobile version of your HTML/CSS/JQuery-driven site. If you're a designer/developers like me, you'll love the flexibility of Mobify.me. I like it cause its free and it works! In the free version, Mobify.me simply puts a subtle grey link back to their page in the footer and "Mobify" in the page title. Here's a summary of how I got it to work for me.
