bigtimslim, as for your question.

First of all, mobile site is not just regular site but with small screen size like some people said. Totally wrong.

1) First, if you want, you can check out this book and the author has a simple but very good framework sample in this book. I borrowed some ideas from this book but I totally rewrote all the MVC.

2) Actually, yes. You just need a different view for the mobile site justlike for the regular site. But this different view is not just small size.

My co-worker gave me some good advices like the below when I started on mobile sites.

3) Several points from my experience.

use strict xhtml.

Use utf-8 will save you a lot of troubles.

use this line to add the at the top in your php view page (I set this in header file of the view), echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>\n";

add this meta tag too, <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

use css not table.

keep everything simple.

Use less javascript, not trying to be fancy if you want your mobile site support more devices.

Now I would add this. be careful with cookie and redirect.

Good luck.
