Drupal is the perfect smartphone site development framework!
Drupal provides powerful smartphone site-building features. Drupal provides design solutions that are in line with the requirements of responsive design and specialized smartphone design. It also has an enhanced WEB API for the development of native smartphone applications, and can be used as a server-side platform for iPhone and Android applications.
Responsive design using Drupal
Responsive design is a technology that allows the same HTML file to serve appropriate content to PC and smartphone devices with different screen sizes.
The Drupal community offers over 2,000 design templates, called "Themes," and most of these are responsive designs. By using the Drupal community's popular design themes it is possible to easily create a responsive web site. By constructing a responsive web site, contents registered on Drupal will automatically serve optimized content to both PCs and smartphones. The same URL is valid for both PCs and smartphones, so it becomes easier to be picked up in search engines and is beneficial for SEO.

It also supports dedicated smartphone sites!
Designing a smartphone site does not require the use of responsive design. It is also possible to use a different template for PCs and smartphones. By using a separate template for smartphone and PC sites, it becomes possible to create a design layout and user interface that takes advantage of the unique qualities of the smartphone.
To offer a dedicated smartphone site on Drupal it is necessary to differentiate between user agent, and there are many modules for this purpose. There are also many design templates dedicated just to smartphones, so it is possible to create a dedicated smartphone site in a short time period.
Smartphone applications using Drupal
It is possible to provide low-cost, highly functioning mobile applications by combining Drupal with iPhone applications and Android applications.
By constructing a smartphone site on Drupal, it is possible to display those contents in a smartphone application by using a WebView, so it becomes possible to offer highly functioning applications in a short period of time. Even when developing an application that takes advantage of the native user interface rather than using a WebView, there is a rich supply of useful WEB APIs available. Digital Circus combines Drupal with native smartphone applications to offer a complete system that is used by many large corporations and is rich in know-how.
