Default Mobile Web Page Dev

If this is already here and I didn't find it, I apologize. Is there a software tool that if you are a web developer, you can use to create a mobile website from your normal www website? I'd like to not have a seperate URL, but rather the web server recognize the mobile browser and provide the smaller page size...also do I need to make a copy of everything and have smaller pages?

well, you're still going to have to create a separate URL for the mobile friendly version (all you're really doing is detecting the mobile browser then REDIRECTING them to the mobile site).

making sure your CONTENT is updated on both versions of the site (automatically) is even more fun. With a little server-side scripting a la php, asp, etc you can detect the mobile browser and populate your content into the alternate page.

or just something as simple as creating a mobile-friendly stylesheet. detect the mobile browser via javascript and if the mobile browser is found use a different stylesheet to format the page that's kosher with mobile browsers.

I may have failed to mention this...I'm not a web"master", but the guy who maintaing his church's web site. Can you e-mail me a sample of the style sheet you are referring to? I can usually follow an example since I do have some programming in my background, I'm just not schooled in what goes on beinhd all the scenes when I use FrontPage to update the site.
