I am involved in the development of a number of Joomla! websites and we would like to make these websites mobile friendly. I have done a bit of searching online and I can't seem to find any standard way of doing this. I have have come across a few Joomla! extensions that claim to make themselves mobile friendly for this device or that device. However, I am weary to just start trying these out.

Do any of you know of standard ways to make a Joomla! site mobile friendly?

Since there are lots of ways to do this here are some common sense options:

  1. Find a theme that only activates when a user accesses the site from a mobile browser.
  2. Since Mobile Safari is a very popular browser, you will want to add relevant tags to allow resizing, set default orientation, etc. You can find out more information here.

Do you know of some sort of tutorial about making and/or setting up a Joomla! theme that is only for mobile? – Treebranch Mar 25 '11 at 19:20
That slide show has some interesting stuff on it, but it should be noted that the software/plugins referenced on it are no longer around/supported. – Treebranch Mar 25 '11 at 19:55
