Improve Visitor Experience With Different Resolutions

With such varied possible screen resolutions that site visitors could now use.

What is the best approach to deliver a good experience to all?

Has anyone written a txp based website that handles mobile devices (Android & iPhones), iPads (in both orientations), Notebooks (eeePC 1024×600), Laptops, and very large LCD monitors/TV’s?

What is the best logic for checking screen/browser resolution?

Something like this (very simplified)?

Has Cookie been set --- YES (Not first visit) --- Serve appropriate CSS

No

Java Detect screen.width and screen.height

Write Cookie

Refresh Page ---?

I’d be very interested to hear views and ideas on this as it is something I’d like to implement on all my sites.

Hi Yiannis,

I’ve signed up on Oliver’s site.

I was more interested in front-end solutions and methods people are using.

Presently I don’t have the need to use the admin-side on a mobile.
But it’s still interesting.

Thanks
Geoff
