Why is it so hard to redirect mobile users to a different url?

I am so frustrated. I am trying to make it so that if a user on a mobile or tablet site visits my website that they are redirected to a page that says that my website ...
WEBSITE is not yet optimized for Mobile Devices.
We'll soon be available for Apple iOS, Windows & Android platforms.
Why is this so difficult? Does any web gurus have any suggestions? I have tried like 10 different scripts and none of them seem t work properly.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure because I've only used the cookie cutter sites but who is your host? I'd assume they would handle redirection to your m.yoursite.com mobile page.

You need to code in HTML 5 and CSS 3, but you lose some of that functionality in outdated browsers.
What scripts have you used?

What have you tried? Simply checking the device's screen width has always worked just fine for me.

CSS media queries work as well. You could show/hide certain elements based on the device width.
quote:
var width = (window.innerWidth > 0) ? window.innerWidth : screen.width;

@media (max-width: <whatever size your site is optimized for>px) {
.show-this-on-mobile {
display: inline;
}
}
@media (min-width: <whatever size your site is optimized for + 1>px) {
.hide-this-on-mobile {
display: none;
}
}

use responsive web design. It will save you and your users much frustration.

Unless you have a launch date for mobile within the next few weeks, this seems like a bad idea. Let those who are willing to zoom and scroll their way through your site do so. A "coming soon" page essentially turns everyone away.

If you HAVE to redirect, can it be based on screen size or do you need it based on device/browser type?

Yep, and there are tons of frameworks that make this pretty easy these days.

The ugly truth is that there is no free lunch. Developers still have to optimize sites, but responsive is still the way to go.
