Yet, Mobile rarely needs fancy transitions or Backgrounds so v. Scrolling is good enough.

So you can have a joint design for both Main and Mobile Variant as Transition.
When happy, clone off and delete Main and change it to Scrolling and you have a mobile site.
Clone off the Mobile variant and you have a main site.”

I like the above idea Acorn. But I don’t understand “as transition” and clone off and delete. I’m certainly not an expert, but a one page mobile site might also be achieved by putting everything on the index page. The other pages remain in the design but no linkage in phones. Correct?
Bill, it is a method to ensure both site designs have the identical URLs to each page. You then have a one-to-one relationship so you could manfully force a change to either path to toggle between the main and the mobile site.

It is more of a problem for a conventional main to a scrolling mobile of just one page; you would have to juggle main pages with different URLs to a mobile one-page site that had targets instead.

I reckon I'll have to build a few examples...
