How to reach mobile users with a standard web site

Lots of people surf on devices with small screens, and it can be a chore to make a web site that scales well to work well on both small and large screens. Redesigning web sites can also be surprisingly expensive.

One way of getting around that hurdle, and possibly save some money in the process, is to have a mobile site that automatically tracks and translates the standard web site, but presents the information in a format that works on the smaller screens.

This is the idea behind mdotit.com, a service Webworks and Colliberty has started. mdotit takes a standard web site and adds a mobile site that automatically updates from the standard site. No installation needed. If this sounds good to you, take a look. If this text sounds a bit promotional, well I am one of the guys behind mdotit :-)
