In terms of navigation , img size , apperence etc, it is a good idea to provide a seperate sites tahn trying to optimize the existing site.<br><br>I have tried WMS on mobile with Mapserver and basic HTML. <br><br>PHP or any server side strategy would do no harm.<br><br>I am testing cabalities of different browsers on providing web GIS services on mobile context these days and your site also can consider as a candidate if you wish.
