I mostly browse the site using my phone and it is really hard to navigate the main sections available in the drop down headers. For example, I was trying to get to the find a dealer pàge to check something, but my phone won’t let me choose it from the hover and drop down menu.
Can someone please work on making a mobile friendly version of the site or at least create a basic site map where it’s one page with the links to the different areas please!?
I mean something like:
Shop (linked)
Bulleted list of things listed under shop in the hover menu also likedAbout
Bulleted about listCommunity
Bulleted listEt cetera
Good idea. I used to check this all the time on my phone until I lost the phone but once I have another one, this could come in handy.

I’m not entirely sure that it can be done, as is… our website is built on some weird software (which I confess to hating). There is a mobile module but I can’t quite understand how to implement it without breaking everything. Maybe Pam can figure it out, ’cause I’m a dummy.
There is software that will convert sites to being moble-ready but from my research most of it is tricky when converting a site like this, and sometimes expensive.
If anyone has any input that’d be good, though I can hardly make any promises since I am not in charge of any of the decision making.

My art: featherdust.comI took a look at the home page – it already has code on it to display separate style-sheets for browser type. In theory (and this is theory – I don’t know Drupal!) you might be able to add an additional if/then detection for mobile browsers and display a very simple “text” site map so that links can be accessed. I have noticed the drop downs don’t really work in mobile browsers.
That would be a moderately annoying fix as it would require going back to the home page if people wanted to navigate to any non-top-level links (so anything in the drop downs), but it would at least give them SOME way to access things. I think you could do this completely outside of Drupal to avoid needing to figure out how to install the mobile module.
I regret that it’s a bit beyond me, and I don’t have deep enough access to do it, so maybe someone at the Factory can?

My art: featherdust.comI bet Lane or Clay could pretty easily.
I could, but I think like you I don’t have access to the required code. 🙂
Pam posted a site map – for mobile folks, if you bookmark this, it should make things a bit easier:

I tested this on two different phones and have not had this issue.
It depends also on the browser software and version each phone uses!Volunteer mod- I'm here to help! Email me for the best response: nambroth at gmail.com

That’s why the site map was posted.
