Correct width for tablets via JS script?

Freeway

Hello, trying to get a little better handle on how this works…

For several years now I have been building two websites for business sites, rather than one responsive one. The second one is a version of the main website, but made for smartphones and I use a .mobi domain for those. As far as SEO goes, this is far better than having one site because both Bing and Google rank the two sites separately and many times I will see both of the domains listed in the first pages of search results! (Bingo!)

This is the typical JS script that I’ve been using:

The problem is that it does not work for tablets and I am thinking about adding a third website for tablet sized devices. So what would be the correct “screen.width” to plug into this script to get the same results on tablets? Most all of my desktop sites are 960 pixels wide, but I am thinking about making my new sites at 1200 pixels wide.

Also should I trim down the width of my “.mobi” script any?

TIA,

Robert

Just create a responsive site and ditch the separate versions. And regarding the 1200px width … that’s quite the stardard for the last couple of years, so you’re okay there. But when you’re building responsive, you’ll just have to apply a certain max-width and that’ll be all.

But the whole point is that I do not want to make responsive websites, but rather a separate .mobi domain for the smartphones and maybe even another for the tablets.

Like I said previously the search engines consider each to be worthy to be ranked and I have seen search query results where I have both version on the first page of results. Plus I think it is a rare thing to find a responsive website that truly looks good and functionable on both a smartphone and a desktop.

Each version can have its own uniqueness that fits the format better than a single website can, I think.

Rather than trying to figure out how to make Freeway Procreate a responsive website, I rather put that time into learning Adobe’s Animate, which is probably the future of HTML5 animation.

I need to get onto a few tablets to see what’s up, as I have never used one before.

Thanks,

Robert
