Drupal 4.7
Multi-Site (same code with 2 Themes - one of them Mobile)

Bèr,
I was running a 4.6.2 site, mutil-site - same code - split so one site would have mobile address and theme. I was using the Mobile Theme on one side.

I had to change Host's so I brought the site down.

I'm in the planning stage to bring the site back up with different content - the other one was too boring.

I'm thinking I might as well bring it up as 4.7. And I was wondering if your Wireframe theme would work for a Moible Theme - its looks very close to what I would need - but you are the all and wise wizard -- and know the in's and outs much better than I do.

So I thought I would ask you for your opinion.

Thanks

I have never really intended wireframe for production sites.
Wireframing is really a development thing. Which does not mean you cannot use it for productions, sites off course :)

Since the wireframe theme uses no tables and has some source ordering in place you can probably use it for mobile sites too.

The three most important parts of a good mobile site are:
1) Source ordering: *title, *content, *navigation, *sidebar1, *sidebar2
2) no tables: with proper source ordering you cannot use tables for layout. Tables will break on mobile devices.
3) no wide images. Best is even to have big images been called, (like a large logo) in your CSS file as a background-image: url()

optional you can design targeted CSS for mobile devices using the the media property. Can be usefull to set display:none on some of the heavier elements like a logo or a banner.
