i kind of wanna make a mobile version of my website so more people are able to see it easily but also like….. wahhh poor you you have to use your computer the way god intended to view

@ultraloveheaven i coded a separate barebones html-only version of my mainPage so ppl can switch between that and the 1080p-desktop-required one via button or menu.

just need to make the button and add the html file.

@bluejorts hope i don’t sound dumb but how do you do this? ty for the tip :•)

@ultraloveheaven so, your main page is the "index.html" file in the "Home" folder on the neocities dashboard, yea?

1. add a new folder to "Home"
2. make your 'more accessible version' the "index.html" there
3. add links to each other on both pages to switch between them
(main page has a link to accessible page; accessible page links to main)

i did it this way because my alternative is html-only (which was easier to code) and i have a personal challenge to avoid javascript.

html-only means the site will be read however the user's browser settings say, which is better for people who have to use accessibility-focused browsers.

if you just want your custom site but with a more flexible (mobile-ready) layout, focus on the CSS and use a button, link, or drop-down menu to change the theme (like how people have themes for different backgrounds, day/night etc). that's making a javascript event that switches css elements or entire stylesheets, though.

looking up "theme switching neocities" can get you started there. 'squidknees.net' is a great example of an accessible personal website.
