Beautiful mobile site - responsive vs. custom made?

piney94 · 11th Aug 2013, 07:19 PM

This weekend, I was driving by a cool-looking restaurant about an hour from where I live and I decided to check out their website via my phone. I was really impressed. It is a beauty of a mobile site. Their full site is similar, so I'm thinking the mobile might be a responsive version.

I looked on builtwith.com to check various aspects of the site and couldn't find what I wanted. The restaurant's URL is Home | Industrial Revolution Eatery & Grille. It is a WP site. When I went to "view source," I couldn't find the theme they used.

Any words of wisdom about the site's fundamentals would be appreciated!

If you pull the site up on mobile device using firefox and view source it is a wordpress theme.
As for a mobile site though, it be nice if the phone number wasn't an image or I could click on it.

Awesome! Thanks for that link. I contacted the developer.

That site/link in OP isn't a mobile site when viewed on a desktop. If the site was responsive (mobile) there wouldn't be a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the browser (desktop) when resizing the browser window.

[edit]
The site does have a responsive CSS file in the HTML source code but it's not working like it should when resizing the browser window.
