Do you see your site coming up on a computer? If so, you can create a mobiles site.

We do still have a partnership with Dudamobile. To use Dudamobile the site must have an associated domain. That may be why you don't see the link is if there is no domain name

premium-cat-products.com
chi-goodness.com
premium-cat-products.com
chi-goodness.com

i just hit the link for chi-goodness and it just goes to the home page of duda not like when i created it for the other sites
doesn't give me a prompt
maybe Homestead should ask duda why this is happening
I feel it's ok that its free but duda still displays ads as well for the other sites
I pay you and then I would have to pay them to get ads removed from my mobile site

Well thank you so much - you are awesome - let me see if I am not losing my mind :)
sorry for the redundancy
got to site plus under file manager, create folder that says mobile
copy and paste all the desktop web pages, images etc into the mobile folder (because I would want obviously to have ALL desktop pages convert to mobile)
then when in mobile - change the page properties to 320 on all pages
Then in Page Properties/Advanced, I inserted the following html code in the <HEAD> tag of each mobile page:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
is that right?- will it automatically detect what the user is using? desktop or mobile?
I think I am missing something
Thanks for your help - I have those 2 sites you mentioned with no mobile yet b/c the other sites I currently have with Homestead have the duda ads that I absolutely do not like
so I wanted to see if they had a solution
thanks again

Lori,
My instructions (for creating a mobile site using Sitebuilder) do not automatically convert all of your desktop pages into mobile pages. You would have to create all of your mobile pages from scratch -- starting with a blank page, setting your page width to 320, then manually adding your text/images to fit within that narrow page. It's a time-consuming process, especially for sites that have multiple pages, but it gives you the opportunity to layout those pages exactly the way you want, as many pages as you want, and without any third-party ads.
You will need to go into Page Properties/Advanced, and insert the following html code in the <HEAD> tag of each mobile page that you create:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
In addition, you need to go into Page Properties/Advanced, and insert the following html code in the <HEAD> tag of each desktop page that you wish to redirect to a mobile version that you created:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (screen.width <= 699) {
document.location = "http://www.yourdomain.com/youroptionalfolder/yourmobilepage.html";
}
//-->
</script>
For example, the "document.location" for your cat supplement page would look something like this:
"http://www.premium-cat-products.com/mobile/new-cat-supplements.html"
The above script will only redirect mobile users to your mobile pages.
Finally, you will need to ask Drew to remove any redirect for Dudamobile that may still be associated with your desktop sites. This is important because the redirect that you add to your desktop pages will not work if the Dudamobile redirect is still active.
Feel free to play around with this code by creating a test desktop page and a test mobile page (once it's working, you can decide if you want to go in that direction).
Good luck!

Again, thank u so much!
Google - how does that look as every page will have another page with the same content?
does it matter?

Google will recognize your mobile pages as "mobile-friendly" and will give them priority over your desktop pages for mobile users.

Thanks - I was worried about "duplicate content" if the pages we create for each (desktop and mobile versions are the same)
Also - I guess I can try this code in sites that I build with Dreamweaver?
Thanks so much.
