1. Re: Can you build a mobile website in Muse and redirect to a desktop website which is not built in Muse?
Hi Michele,
Can you explain further what you are doing? KInd of confused reading your question.
But if I do understand then yes you can link to external websites.

2. Re: Can you build a mobile website in Muse and redirect to a desktop website which is not built in Muse?
Ok, thanks for your reply Brad - say I had a website at
www.mywebsite.comwhich was not built on Muse - maybe a wordpress site,
and I built a mobile
version of my website on Muse and hosted on adobe hosting (can't remember
what it is called). Can I then use a redirect script to connect the mobile
site to the desktop site? So if someone visits www.mywebsite.com on a
desktop they go to my normal site, and if someone visits my site on a
mobile, they are redirected seamlessly to the mobile version. Does that
make any sense?
Going forward I would love to use Muse to rebuild my existing wordpress
site and then do a mobile, tablet version, but for now, I would love to try
it building just a mobile site,so I can compare it to my mobile platform
that I use just now. I am not a website designer, but am keen to learn how
the Muse platform works, as from what I have seen so far, it looks great.
Thank you
Michele

Hi Michele,
The Adobe hosting you are thinking of is Business Catalyst and of course I recommend it for hosting your Muse site.
However what you want to do can't be done using the same domain name. So the only way it would work is to have a seperate domain name for your mobile site. You could then add a script to your desktop site to detect device and set a redirect but that is less than ideal.
Some Search Engine gurus here may also suggest that it would hurt you Search Engine Ranking.

4. Re: Can you build a mobile website in Muse and redirect to a desktop website which is not built in Muse?
Brad, thanks for that - would a workaround be building a mobile website on
Muse say m.mywebsite.com and then exporting via FTP client to a
m.mywebsite.com so that they were hosted on same hosting. That way the
clients site wouldn't be affected search engine ranking wise, and I could
still use Muse to build the mobile version? Or would some of the
functionality of the website be lost if you hosted elsewhere?
I don't mean to ask too many questions, I am just trying to work out if I
can use Muse before I update my subscription.
Thank you
Michele

You can certainly use Muse for hosting on other hosts as well. You do lose some of the functionality of Business Catalyst such as In Browser Editing. I just saw that you did your current one in Wordpress ... so I assume there is a blog?
If so, keep in mind that Muse alone does not have a blog feature. You can integrate a Business Catalyst Blog into it with a bit of knowledge on how BC works.

Brad just a thought - you know u said that you can't have the same domail hosted in 2 places, could I hav the domain m.mywebstie.com hosted on business catalyst and mywebsite.com hosted elsewhere? Would that count as same domain?

No m.mydomain.com and my
domain.com are the same domain

9. Re: Can you build a mobile website in Muse and redirect to a desktop website which is not built in Muse?
To clarify, m.mywebstie.com is the subdomain of the domain mywebstie.com, and they even share the same IP.
