selling mobile sites

Say you get a client that already has a website, but not on the WP platform, and they want to keep the same domain, how do you go about this, Mick.

You create a subdomain, something like m so the mobile site would be at m.domain.com. You then create them a mobile site and upload it into that m subdomain. You then install a simple mobile redirect script on their main site so mobile devices are detected and automatically redirected to the mobile site.

thanks for that Will, thats what i was thinking, so then if they have a person who looks after there main site, i would create a mobile site in kompozer, and then give them the details to upload everything as I obviously wont have any control pover there hosting if they already have a webmaster., am I correct in this thinking, Mick.

Or, as I've done in the past.. have them give you ftp info for that "m" folder and you could upload the files yourself. The redirect placement on their main site would still need to be done, by someone.

It really depends how you set up the mobile site.

If it's going to be a third party hosted solution many of them provide redirect scripts and custom URL's with only making some minor changes at the host or domain registrar level.
