    Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question. But I want to start creating websites for mobile phones and I DON"T have a clue where to start. I want to avoid some of the services that I've already perused....and would rather be independent of them.

    So I figured I would try tapping into the knowledgeable members of this forum.

    Thanks in advance
    Gary

    you can build Mobile website by using XHTML/CSS...must be fresh code...and you can use PHP for device detection. then upload your all files to the server...that's it

    You dont need a program to create websites specifically for mobile phones, you need to just set your website up to detect that they are on the mobile device -- also note though, smart phones are becoming better and better, if you forward someone to a mobile site, make sure to include a link to "the full website" as well. I hate websites that FORCE me to goto a mobile version when I know there is nothing on the site that prevents me from seeing the content otherwise.

    Developing/designing for mobile is increasingly about 'optimizing the layout' for mobile devices, since connection speed and color depth are no longer the limitations they used to be.

    Luckily, CSS3 includes 'media queries' that allow you to interrogate things like screen width and page orientation (landscape/portrait), without needing php or javascript - and luckily Microsoft isn't really big in the mobile market lately, so the most popular mobile browsers are already starting to offer some of these features:
