Summary


The world of mobile themes has exploded since I first started dipping into mobile development two years ago. Today, there are lots of options for jQuery Mobile; there are also some other responsive themes. I didn't bother making an exhaustive list of everything that Google can give us. By the time this book is published, that will have changed, even in the space of a month. The important thing to remember, is that we don't have to reinvent the wheel, and we don't have to saddle ourselves with content updates.

Give your clients the power to make minor updates themselves, and you get back to the business of your business. As useful as CMS is, we won't be covering it again. The next chapter, will be a return to custom development, where we'll combine everything we've learned so far.
