An example of a simple mobile website is downloadable in a zip file from [http://www.nova.edu/library/seflin/Archive.zip]  It contains six files:

contacts.htm  / directions.htm / hours.htm  / index.htm  / loanperiods.htm / mobilelibrary.dwt

mobilelibrary.dwt is a Dreamweaver template with which the others are constructed. It is not necessary to use the template but it simplifies maintenance.

The files can be unzipped into a folder on your web server and should just work as is. You will need to update them with information about your library :)

If you have any question feel free to email Rich at hackerma@nova.edu
