So how do you make a mobile website? What are the processes involved? Can you turn your website into a mobile website or do you need to start from scratch? Thanks!

Is there a possibility that very careful development can get you a single codebase via a web app with use of similar/same code in Adobe AIR?

1. Mobile app
+
2. Adobe AIR + Extra Features

At this point I haven’t explored Adobe AIR, but with Apple relaxing the restrictions blocking the usage of Adobe AIR, it sounds appealing again because it defragments the development process.

Thoughts?

Hi Serina, can you be more specific? Are you looking for a post re: digital goods distribution? Try a search on the blog for “digital content” or “digital goods” and you’ll get a bunch.

I have done a lot of research on this, trying to determine the best route for my business. I finally settled on Simple Mobile Web (http://www.simplemobileweb.com/), which allowed me to do both. I pay a small fee a month (compared to the 5k I would have spent had I done the services separately). I designed my website with my branding, and their website builder (actually, super easy). AND, i built an app that works on all phone types. Everywhere else I looked, they only did the mobile app or the website. I did both.

Great article but a little outdated,
the functionality for mobile websites has come a long way since March 2010.
Mobile websites are now able to do everything that an application can do at a fraction of the cost (except for “shake” functionality).
Also the market for mobile technology has since raised and it is looking that 85% of mobile phones purchased as of 2011 will have browsing functionality and can support mobile websites.

With the reinvention of tablet pcs and a more competitive smartphone market, mobile websites will certainly be a more cost effective strategy for businesses. This way they can accomodate for most mobile devices with a single site, rather than create specialised apps for each OS. However due to the app centric nature of the iPhone and Android, apps could be made for this which simply port the site to the app. Apps would need little maintenance, and the businesses can target device specific users.

Sorry for this second comment but i just wanted to say that possess both (mobile website and mobile application) it’s the ideal but small companies can’t assign such a budget.
