Getting the right site to the right user
To make sure that the appropriate site is delivered to the device being used,
there are several options:
• A “detect and redirect” policy: the user-agent variable is used to detect
mobile visitors to the regular website, and redirect them to the mobile
site. This approach is best practice.
• Linking between the two: place a link to the mobile version on the
regular website, and vice versa, which allows users to choose which
version to see, should they end up on the wrong version of the site. This
is mobile web usability best practice.
• Mention of the word “mobile” in the content on the mobile site: this
distinguishes the mobile site to search engines as the most relevant
result for mobile search.
