Adapting my browser site design to a PHONE

I'm just wondering what the best strategy is for adapting an existing desktop site design to a phone layout in Muse.
In the first place, the default phone layout in Muse is vertical. I think I look at the internet on my phone about 99.9% of the time in horizontal. A horizontal phone layout far better matches the typical desktop layout, and it just seems more ergonomic somehow. For this reason, I tend to dislike phone apps that don't adapt to the horizontal format.
So I adjusted Muse's page properties to be horizontal. But now my site looks ridiculous (microscopic actually) in vertical.
There is no "preview in phone" command in Muse, so in order to test layout strategies, I've had to publish my site over and over (and over and over), in order to see it on my phone.
And most importantly, since Muse can't do % scaling, but is rather stuck in hard pixel measurements, you really have to create EVERYTHING over again for the phone design. Wow.
Is there a resource somewhere that can give me a leg up on adapting my desktop site design to a phone version? Or can the experts among us shed some time-saving wisdom on what appears at the moment to be a very tedious job ahead of me?
Thanks for any help.

Try resetting your user agent string (identifies the browser version). For details see [[Websites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]]. If a site believes you are using IE, you may need to reset the general.useragent.override preference as shown in that article.

  • Can you convert your desktop site plan into the phone & tablet version w/o re-creating the pages?

    Can you convert your desktop site plan into the phone & tablet version without re-creating the landing pages? This seems too extensive to have to re-design each page?

    Cwsnell,
    On your nav bar there is a shorcut to other pages.
    The most effecient way I have found to do this from the phone layout,
    click on the page icon shown above
    type in the name of the page (and select the desktop version as indicated by the icon of the monitor)
    select all on that page (CTRL A / Command A) and copy (CTRL C / Command C)
    revert back to the phone layout page and paste (CTRL V / Command V)
    then resize, delete what you dont need, make any other edits and your done!
    There is not a way to copy a page entirely over.  The mobile version should have less information and less imagery to enable fast load times.

  • Previewing site design in other browsers.

    How does one go about previewing  the site design in other browsers as one is working / building it?.
    ie. Is the Muse Browser the best and only way with out full publishing or uploading the site?

    Hello,
    Choosing File-->Preview Page/Site in browser makes the site visible on the default system browser.
    So, in order to test the file on different browsers, the default browser of the system can be changed and the file can be tested.

  • Forums.ni.​com site designed for the mobile user

    Isn't it time there was a mobile site designed for the mobile device user wanting to catch up on discussions. While you can view the site on mobile devices, navigating around can be quite a chore. With the normal site there is too much information on the screen at any one time and having to zoom in and scroll about from left to right to read a message is a bit of a headache.

    "Mobile optimized" sites will probably soon be a thing of the past. They were made to avoid problems with ultra tiny screens and very slow connections (remember GPRS?).
    A typical mobile device now runs on 3G or even 4D and the screens are sometimes 800x640 or higher.
    My android G1 phone is over 2 years old, and I still typically prefer the full site. I'll probably upgrade in a few weeks and will at least double the screen resolution. I'll stick with the regular site.
    (One problem is the placement of the new kudos gadgets. It is impossible to see them at the same time with the post author, thus creating significant confusion to figure out what belongs to where ... ).

  • Is it possible to make an iWeb site accessible to mobile phones? (in Japan)

    Is it possible to make an iWeb site accessible to mobile phones? (I'm in Japan)
    I've tried making a tiny site but my own phone (au A5516T by Toshiba) can't display it.
    The URL is accepted but displays just a white blank screen.
    I can't see anything about it in this iWeb forum or iWeb Help. Which I guess means that either it's impossible or that it's so elementary I shouldn't have to ask!
    Is there some special code involved?
    Any hints much appreciated. Thanks.

  • [b]How Can I Browse The Files of the Phone[/b]

    Hi guys,
    I want to know if there is a way to browse the files of the phone from a program using J2ME like what happen when we select FILE >> OPEN in MS Word.
    If there is I hope from you to give any idea about it or a sample or a refrenece.
    Thank you a lot.

    There is no standard way of dioing it. Some devices support the FileConnection api, but it does not have browsing capabilities. There are other api's out there that do support browsing, though very few devices support that.

  • Denote browsed sites by changing color of heading

    Early versions of Firefox used to change the browsed sites from blue to red so that when you returned to the principle listing page all the sites you had already browsed were highlighted in red. This made it easy to keep track of where you had been. Is this feature still available? I sure miss it!

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

    Hallo!
    Ich habe schon bemerkt, dass der LCD bei Acrobat XI nicht mehr kostenlos mitgeliefert wird (sondern ein anderes, mehr dialogorientiertes Tool). Der Grund dafür wurde mir beim Kauf von LCD ES4 aber damit angegeben, dass der LCD für den normalen Endanwender zu komplex sei. Er wird wohl vor allem bei SAP-Umgebungen benutzt. Für mich taugt er aber, weil ich mit JavaScript viel Funktionalität einbauen kann.
    Wie sich aus LiveCycle Help | Adobe LiveCycle ES4 Supported Platforms ergibt, wird mit  LCD ES 4 & SP 1 auch Windows 8 unterstützt. Insofern ist deine Aussage für mich "überraschend".

    I am trying to find a site design that looks somewhat like a notebook, with pages and tabs...does anyone know how I can find this and use it on my iweb?

    Unless someone like Suzanne Boben over at 11mystics.com has made such a template specifically for iWeb, it's going to difficult to find. Right now, iWeb does not have the modularity or extensibility that end-users want/need to be able to add templates easily.
