Help Needed: Making A Website Mobile Friendly How? What software? etc

Hopefully i have put this in the right forum! Anyway, im in the process of making a new website and wanting to know a little on some tech im thinking of implenting into it. One of the things ive noticed over the years is that people are using Social Networks and the mobile internet alot more than ever before. This means anyone wanting to start a website these days has such a harder start than ever before. Websites have to be constantly updated and have the latest tech to keep people interested or to keep you one step ahead of the competition.On this theory, ive decided that i must make a mobile friendly site that could possibly be used on touch screen phones. Does anyone know how this can be done? What software is best to use? I dont mind how much the software costs etc, I just require that it is user friendly and great for beginers!All help is greatly appriciated, thanks in advance!

as you said technology is progressing with huge speed these days, if you want your website to be good one mobile phones then just make it a little faster to load and nothing else is needed and you know why, because many mobile phones these days are having huge screens with high resolutions like 800*480 , and most of them are even using a browser which is very near to our desktop browsers. for example many phones today are equipped with android OS and this OS is the ability of using FireFox but do not think this mobile version is so much different with the one you use in your desktop, they are nearly same and even they release with same numbers, so the only thing may be important is that internet connection on phones is not very fast yet but they are now capable of rendering your website just like desktop browser and even as fast as them without any problme with flash and java objects, so don't worry about creating a mobile version. anyway if you are using any CMS like joomla, wordpress or drupal there are plugins available for making a mobile version. for forum softwares there is same plugins available too. if you have created your own website then here is some steps i have done some years ago to make a mobile friendly version of a website (i say again these things are not very necessary these days): the first step that everyone knows, just make a sub domain m.mydomain.com or anything you want. in the next step you can use some scripts to detect the browser to see if the viewer is seeing your page trough mobile redirect him to you mobile version of website (many of these scripts are available on the net just google it), in the next step you can write a file to include a logo (if you want) and some footer and then include the rss of your website in it using some scripts (which again is available on the net) and it is very important to not to show more than five of them otherwise your website is not very mobile friendly. As i don't know what you wanna to do currently i will not go into details too much, by the way remember to do not spending so much time for your mobile version because mobiles are getting close to desktop computers and so they can easily render a webpage that is built for a desktop PC browser.
