I want to develop a website using Drupal that can be accessed on mobiles. Can I do that?
Convenience being the essence. Drupal is not only the best choice for building web applications but is also a reliable platform for effective and compelling mobile applications development.
While WordPress is an excellent CMS, Drupal is often the best choice for complex, content heavy, and high traffic websites, as well as those with large resource libraries and databases. Drupal is extremely powerful, flexible, functional, and secure. In general, Drupal is more suited to large and complex sites.
Drupal and WordPress are two popular website-building platforms. Both solutions let users quickly set up a website and publish their own content.
I found a page on google full of useful links An overview of Mobile modules for Drupal http://mobiledrupal.com/content/overview-mobile-modules-drupal
Then theres the mobile theme and modules http://drupal.org/project/mobile_theme Adds the ability to choose a mobile theme in admin/build/themes/settings which is used for serving users on mobile devices.
http://drupal.org/project/browscap The Browscap module provides a replacement for PHP's get_browser() function. get_browser() is difficult (or impossible) to configure for most users in shared webhosting situations, and requires attention to keep the underlying data (browscap.ini) up-to-date. This module avoids the configuration issue by storing the data in a database table, and the freshness issue by automatically retrieving the latest data on a weekly basis (if cron.php is run regularly).
Yes, sure. Drupal allows you full control on the HTML generated, so you just need to create a theme that is optimized for mobile users. You may be able to find some themes that already have support for this, you should search.
