I currently have DotNetNuke 6.2.3 installed.

We are looking to create a mobile version of an existing site.  I've read all the hype about the new functionality that the release of DotNetNuke 6.1 had with mobile redirection, etc.  I've watched YouTube videos on how to create a mobile site which essentially meant creating a seperate site such as m.domain.com.  And then using the mobile redirection feature to redirect users to that mobile site.  Here are my questions:

1. Why didn't DotNetNuke include some sort of responsive web design functionality so a separate website was NOT needed?  Seems like a lot of redundant work to create and maintain a separate site.  Am I missing something here?

2. I am running a trial version of the MobiNuke module.  Seems like this might do the trick so when a user accesses my site from a mobile device, they will only see the modules I've specified to include on a mobile device.  I can also apply my own stylesheet to the site when viewing on a mobile device.  Why do people think that the updates in DotNetNuke 6.1 replace the functionality that the MobiNuke module seems to provide?  I will say that the documentation on MobiNuke is scarce and probably non-existent but it's also pretty self explanatory when installed.

3. What method did you use to create a mobile site?  My site is quite complex with registration procedures and a shopping cart so I want to make sure I am implementing the best up-to-date method out there.

Thanks!

Thank you for your response.  I think we have decided to create additional pages just as you have done.  While mobinuke could have saved us some time, we are concerned with the lack of documentation and the fact this is the only module that company sells.  I am worried about future support of that module and what it could mean with rework.

Therefore, it looks like we will be creating about 15-20 mobile pages and utilize the existing modules in our original site.

Thanks again,

Tanya
