    Hi Folks,

    I've developed my site using .NET 3.5 in C#, I use MS Web Developer 2010 am trying to just develop a single mobile page for the site. Any Googling I do for this, seems to bring up mobile WAP pages, instead of something that I'd be trying to open in an iPhone 4 or something like that.

    Would anyone have a simple template handy for just getting me off the launchpad on this one?

    Thanks,

    HFC.

    You don't say whether you've used Webforms or MVC? The latter will be easier as the markup is so much cleaner.

    Hi John, am currently using webforms but just started looking at MVC last week, but as the website has been completely developed using webforms, and this project is just to get a mobile page on my site, I'm hoping for some kind of a sample/template that uses the current set up, so I can use what I am experienced with. I'm hoping to then go look at MVC and find my feet there...

    The best way of creating a mobile friendly page is by using clean markup and CSS 3/ HTML5. The former is impossible with Webforms I'm afraid.

    If your application is already put together in a good way then it shouldn't be too time consuming to create an MVC site with the pages you want available on mobile devices. It can use the same business logic & data access layers that you already have and the presentation layer required for a stripped down mobile page is basic.

    You could further reduce development effort by using a mobile framework such as jQuery Mobile if you're willing to compromise on a reduction in performance (as suggested by another poster on here but I have no experience either way with jQuery Mobile with it).

    It would also be a good way for you to learn MVC :)
