Directory and mobile directory

vnr406 · 6th Jun 2012, 05:19 AM

Hi guys,
Are there any scripts / themes that create a business directory for normal viewing (desktop etc) but allow a mobile version of the directory to be created at the same time?

From what I have found so far it tends to be one or the other.If it does exist does it have payment options?

If it doesn't exist what is the quickest way to go about it to try and keep the two versions simliar? Create a normal site, create a mobile version and then use a re-direct code if viewing on a mobile?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Regards

Vince

Vince,

You're best bet would probably be looking for some type of responsive Wordpress directory theme.

I believe the recently released Vantage business directory is suppose to work well on mobile devices also but I have not tried it myself so make sure you do your own research:

Vantage is not responsive. Not yet anyway, and its not in the latest update coming out either.

I read it somewhere and I thought they said it was already.

I just saw this...

Responsive design will come soon. We are also working on a marketplace that will be available on our website within the month.

If you have some free time and don't mind getting your hands dirty, you can always do the responsive design yourself. Media queries aren't complicated, assuming that you have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS.

Here are some good resources:

Many of the newer StudioPress themes are responsive.
