Mobile and desktop site, seperate web addresses?

[Donald33]

1.) If I build a condensed Supersite for mobile and regular site for desktop will I need two web addresses?

2.) Could the two be linked together or the mobile as a sub-site?

3.) Could I use WB10 for the mobile and another program for the full site?

Thanks a lot!

Donald, try it.

1. A Supersite is one large file to speed up navigation and transitions. A mobile/main site is one large file that switch seamlessly as the viewport size changes or it identified as a trigger. Combining both should therefore still be one large(r) file - with one address.
2. No need.
3. No - both others could prove otherwise. I wouldn't bother other than using XDP over XWD.

Ok, three strikes I'm out. One more at bat please.

My sites are mostly info/text and could over a period of time have a lot of pages with some images.

I thought a Supersite containing current and the most recent info and messages would be good for mobile to scroll through. Of course that section could be done with variants for any device as you stated. The old stuff/archives section could be done without variants as I'm not too concerned about it being responsive. Just so it's available and easy to find.

I asked about using another program with XWD because of no site/page manager and the site may grow to 200 or 300+ pages. Looked at my host and having a sub-sites must be fairly common.

Thanks Acorn

If you are going to have 200-300 pages I would say forget about using a supersite. Just use a traditional site with a mobile variant if you need to. For a site with that many pages it might be better to use a cms to manage it.
