Twitter Bootstrap - mobile version only?

I'm creating a website for a client that needs to have a mobile version. They already have a site right now that they want to keep, but simply want a totally different mobile version - so, i was wondering if the Twitter Bootstrap can be chopped down, so that it only uses the mobile aspect of the framework?

Apologies if my question doesn't make sense, if it doesn't, feel free to ask any more questions and i'll try to better explain myself.

To summarize, i simply want to design a mobile version of a site using Twitter Bootstrap, but ONLY a mobile version - no desktop version is needed because one already exists on the clients domain.

As Robin2k mentioned, the 'bootstrap-responsive.css' / 'bootstrap-responsive.min.css' file will make your website work well on most mobile devices.

If you want to chop down the script just to decrease load times, the best advice I can give you is:

  1. Make sure to use the .min.css and .min.js files, they're considerably smaller

  2. Try CloudFlare, they will cache and compress your bootstrap files to make your site load considerably faster
