Going mobile

After some time designing and testing, a new West Somerset Railway website suitable for mobile phones has been released.

The test website is now in beta release and can be found at m.wsr.org.uk. This address is merely a subdomain of www.wsr.org.uk and when called it diverts to the single page mobile "site". The page is produced by a Perl script running locally each time the news page is updated. The script also produces the WAP and RSS files.

The page has reduced content as expected for mobile phone usage. For example, content is limited to brief news headlines, thumbnails of the two latest pictures, train times - and we are keen to receive feedback by email along with suggestions for suitable content for mobile phone browsers.

Bookmark m.wsr.org.uk in your mobile phone now...
