: What are the most efficient/effective ways I can build a website for Mobile and Computer? I want to make a website for one thing, I don't want to make two websites for one thing I want to
I want to make a website for one thing, I don't want to make two websites for one thing I want to make one. You probably agree with that.
The problem is, we're walking away from this massive 22" screen and chair as we start to stare into the palms of our hands at these screens that can be up to 80% smaller. They try to hit the website again and -- bam, the thing sucks, fonts are all over the place, divs goof up, scripts don't run, things are too wide, I can't read the text, blah blah blah it's garbage.
Standard solution? Make another website.
Great, but that means I have to make another website. I don't want to do that, I want to make a website once. How do I do that?

One word for the technique you probably need is "responsive design". There's a good article in Smashing Magazine about it: www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/01/12/guidelines-for-responsive-web-design/
This blog post is also useful and has links to some sites where it works well adactio.com/journal/1700/
Ideally you will design the website in such a way that you should only need to write a mobile stylesheet to make your site mobile friendly. In fact I'm fairly certain that's what this website does. This should require no additional programming, only a new stylesheet that either overrides (aka cascades) the main stylesheet with any rule changes, or a fresh stylesheet altogether to make the file size being downloaded smaller.
