I'm sure you've all heard by now Google's going to be ranking sites by how mobile-friendly they are two weeks from now, and our company website has no mobile version at all. A new layout was installed sometime last year by the previous web designer, but sadly it's not a responsive site and no mobile version was created. Unfortunately, because of how it's customized, simply turning on the default Magento mobile theme looks terrible. However bad our regular layout looks on mobile, it's still galaxies ahead of the default mobile theme.
So I've been wondering: how does one copy and alter the mobile theme that comes with Magento CE, as a child theme? Or better yet, how would I go about creating a new mobile theme altogether? It would be fairly basic visuals, but it needs to be done, and soon!
We are on version 1.7 (will eventually get to the latest version, but one step at a time)
