Will this mean any additional work for me?
The mobile website is largely cosmetic change to the existing LiquidShop system for mobile devices, rather than being a completely separate platform. This means that you won't need to maintain two websites, the content will simply adapt to meet the capabilities of the browser.
This approach has the advantage of ensuring that all changes made to your LiquidShop will be instantly applied to the mobile version, as they are the same site. This ensures that page URLs are identical between both mobile and standard versions.
