Site Naming

Mobile pages are just Web pages published to any Web server. Nevertheless, it can be problem a problem getting mobile users enter the URL for your site.

The following options are some of the ways getting users to access a Mobile Web site:

• Use the mobile-specific .mobi top-level domain (instead of .com, .net or .org) to indicate that your site is mobile friendly.
• If you do not have a dotMobi domain, you may try to educate the user to enter a mobile-friendly URI e.g. example.com/mobile or mobile.example.com.
• Detect the mobile device automatically and redirect the user to a mobile-friendly location. In this case, the user simply enters domain.com. In this case ensure that you provide an option for the user to browse the PC version of the site – many users have advanced mobile devices may choose to access the richer version of the site
