Proposed Solutions:
Current Status:
The discussion remains open with no definitive solution chosen. The original poster indicated they need to consult with their team before proceeding. Multiple respondents offered different technical approaches, but no consensus or implementation decision has been reached.
How can I have two theme versions that switch depending on the device used. One optimized for mobile and the other for desktop. I want to create a simplified version of our website with less copy to improve the mobile user experience but It needs to automatically switch between the mobile/desktop theme depending on which device they use to browse our website. Any suggestions?
Would a theme switcher app be a solution?
