[size=90]hey there! now quick disclaimer that it can
 get quite messy at my menagerie
sometimes so please bare with me if im
 taking quite awhile <3 im still a student who
 unnecessarily stresses over late homework
 that I could’ve prevented, form well, being
 late. enough of my woes, onto the
requirements, rules, limits, etc. etc. you’ve
 probably heard it all before. but blah blah blah,
 oh and before you go on i will mostly only be
 accepting C$ because I’m very poor in that
regard, so unless you have one of my rare
wishlist be prepared to get shot down without
C$ ;( sorry loves.[/size]

Hi! I have a customer who is asking for a signature that is mobile friendly (as they only go on cs with a mobile device).
I was wondering if there were any differences from laptop to mobile that I needed to know about when coding. Such as
dimensions, etc. The customer owns an Iphone 8. Thank you so much for your time! c:

there is a vastly huge difference, which is why almost all coders don't offer mobile-friendly sigs in their shops.

for one, unicodes look different, and will more often than not break the coding, or not show at all. furthermore, there's also maximum length and width to figure out. a mobile sig space is really small, so considering your coding style, it'll be a lot of trouble to make everything fit and be able to keep up with your coding technique. ^^^ there is also text size to consider, which (on some devices) will be quite different from the desktop. my phone, for example, does not distinguish between size 80 and size 85 (size 80 text will always show itself as size 85)

personally i wouldn't code for them, my apologies. this is because i find that in order to make sigs mobile-friendly enough, i have to simplify the coding and minimize the use of unicodes and columns to the point where i feel like my usual price wouldn't be worth that particular sig at all. i suppose you could try something, however. i've seen quite a couple of workable mobile-friendly sigs around

Hello! I dont mean to beat on a dead horse or anything, but I figured I'd put in my own two cents.

There are really only two ways to make a signature that is cross-device compatible: create a single-image signature, or code a small sig. If you want more detail and more creative liberty, I would go with the single-image option. However, make sure your customer is ok with that. Not everyone likes that kind of signature, and you should always ask before going for it. But if you want to actually physically code it and maybe put in a few links or something, make sure it's small and simple and does NOT use anything like emojis or certain picture-text (idk the word) options because the way they look changes from device to device. For example, the cry/laugh emoji looks different on an Android device compared to an iPhone. Overall, something small is definitely the way to go, just to be safe.

The mobile device they use dictates the size of signature the site allows. For example, someone's signature may look different on a Kindle compares to a Samsung s8 phone depending on size and how many different parts it has. You should be safe so long as you stick with a nice, simple signature that's fairly small. Also, it will appear differently if they use the desktop versus mobile site on their mobile device, but I would stick with checking your code on the mobile site... that's your safest bet since I imagine a majority of CS users on mobile devices use the mobile site. However, if they only care about how their signature looks on their mobile device and not other's, then feel free to do whatever makes the customer most happy.

All in all, though, make sure your customer knows what they're going to get out of it. It's likely going to be a fairly small signature and may be pretty simple. If they're thinking big with lots of pictures, this may not be the right choice for them.

Alright, that's about all I could think of... for a few examples of cross-device compatible signatures, these two are the first ones I think of that I personally made.

If you need any more help, feel free to ask! I'm always open for advice or coding help, and so are the other people on this thread. Good luck, and happy coding!
