Hello to All,

I just registered prompted by the following question.

Due to specific content (images and particular layout) I consider building standalone mobile and desktop versions of my website instead of one with "responsive" design; from a single web address according to the user devise/ browser aspect ratio to be directed to the respective site.

As I see it only the index.html and the following page will be different; the structure of the other pages will remain identical between the two sites.

I used RocketCake once in the past (must have been some of the older versions) and I don't have much experience in website build.

Is the above possible to accomplish with the latest version? I perused the manual and part of the forum, but I haven't come across any mention of the subject.

Thank you in advance.

Websites created with RocketCake are always responsive - so they will always adjust to the screen size - but if you want to create special versions optimized for special sizes this would probably work, too - although I wouldn't personally want to do it like that.

Question is how you direct the visitors to the correct version? Using a JavaScript script?

Thank you for the swift reply.

Sure, I understand the idea and benefit of the responsive design, it is just that the stuff I want on the page and looks good in "landscape" will not so in the tall "portrait" screens of smartphones, that is why I am inclined to tailor the content according to the screen ratio.

I read elsewhere suggestions how directing to mobile/ desktop site could be done, but the examples were always with direct coding and I am not up to that level.

Can I accomplish what JavaScript can do by using instead some of the modules/ features of the RoketCake?

Thank you once again.

You can also do this with responsive pages - that is what breakpoints are for. You can make invisible / visible parts of your page based on the screen size for example, that way you won't have to do multiple versions of your page.

Yes - otherwise use JavaScript to redirect your page. You use a JavaScript code element and write something like this:
if (window.innerWidth < 768) {
window.location.replace("yourotherpage.html");
}
