How NOT to build a mobile website:
When I click a direct link to an article on my phone, just redirect me (without prompting) to your mobile home page because you are too lazy to remember the article I wanted to read.
Bonus points if your mobile site is actually hosted on another domain (and, presumably handled by a 3rd party).
I guess you just don't want my mobile traffic then?
- jfarmer 16y agoThis is absolutely the most annoying thing I've found on the mobile web. Newspapers seem to be particularly bad at it.
- thwarted 16y agoJavaScript based redirects to a mobile version are annoying also, because they seem break the back button in mobile browsers. When I hit back, it goes back to the page that redirected me, and I end up right back at the place I don't want to be anymore. I hate Wikipedia's mobile browsing because of this.
