I think you're right, but think of the billions of $$ (great marketing there, smile )

A cheap and simple (possible) way to go .... would be to create a mobile landing page (m.catsailor.com) which has 2 links. 1 - store. 2 - forum. This way at least you could still drive traffic (currently you get a broken screen if you try to directly go to www.catsailor.com on a (my) mobile device)

Have you considered switching the site to something like Wordpress
Wordpress sites use "themes" which include mobile layouts for multiple device types (Phones, tablets, desktops).
The content stays the same regardless which device you use, converting the main Catsailor page to Wordpress wouldn't be that much work since its a pretty simple layout.

Simple in theory, but every page must be rebuilt into a new site/platform.
I don't know how many pages are on this site, but I would charge at least $100 per page

I just spent over 250 hours on a wp project I did for an old co-worker. I under bid it by about 100 hours and am still paying the price (doing more work for free)

We probably have close to 1000 pages. I do use Wordpress for the blog. I think it is very clumsy to use.

WP is a very useful application that is widely used and supported (not suggesting you use it, just stating).

I don't love it personally, but it can be a very economical (cheap) way to get a robust, reliable, responsive (desktop/tablet/mobile) website that can look good, and pretty easily upgrade/change the look and feel of.
