Drupal 7 & Mobile Development Lessons Learned
93
Sign In Sage Tree Solutions recently built out a Drupal 7 site that also had to support mobile browsers – not smart phones, like iPhones and Droid’s… the ironically named ‘Feature phones,’ that don’t support such advanced ‘features’ to which us ‘tech’ folks have become accustomed.
I’ll talk about the different issues that I encountered in building out this site and how I got around them. Some of the topics will include:
- Browser Detection
- Front-end development
- Scaling Issues
You should take away a pretty decent picture of the obstacles you’ll also have to overcome in building a mobile site, and hopefully develop it faster and easier.

VIDEO (from SDDUG)
Hi –
If you guys can bear the umms and uhhs in the the initial run of my talk, here’s the video from the June San Diego Drupal User’s group.
Christoph Weber also brings up some good points around mobile, when you expand the context for a global audience, where there’s already waaaay more mobile users vs. desktop.
