Our Elgg community is working pretty great on our desktop machines. However, when we attempt to load it in our mobile browsers, it's not optimized for mobile at all and loads the full desktop site.
Is there something we can do to optimize our Elgg site for mobile browsers?
Also, our members would like to be able to use a dedicated mobile app on their iOS and Android phones. We looked at Elgg Mobile on the App Store and Play Store and thought it'd be a good option. However, when we attempt to connect it to our Elgg instance, it doesn't work, and contacting the developer, they want $1,000 to enable the app to make it work. We've reported it to Apple and Google since they falsely advertised it on their site, and we feel they're trying to rip people off.
Are there any other mobile app solutions that would allow us to connect to our Elgg instance for less? We don't mind paying a reasonable cost for an Elgg app (it doesn't have to be free), but we think $1,000 to enable an app is highway robbery.
Thanks!

Responsive design is probably better way, but depends mostly on your site features and way of interaction. You should be able to find some companies offering responsive themes. Also there's some discussion and work on bundling responsive theme with Elgg 1.9
Use the Mobilize app it works fine.
@Pawel Sounds good. We'll look into it.
@Jededitor How can we use the Mobilize app? We're interested in it.
Thanks!
I think I found the Mobilize app under plugins. We'll give it a spin!
I agree with Pawel Sroka. Responsive designs optimizes mobile browsing experience of a website.
We put up a basic responsive theme to use as a starting point :

Check the css media queries to see how to optimise for mobile. It's quite easy to do
I have also installed the mobilize plugin. It works good. http://community.elgg.org/plugins/847027/2013.03.17/mobilize-mobile-plugin
Mobilize plugin is the best for making a site mobile. I tested it and it loads pretty fast on iPad or tablets.
