To build a new template or to change it with a new one in all parts of your website needs a lot of time and knowledge, so the best option, if you don't want to change the design of your site, is to switch template mobile on Joomla, with another one responsive, or created ad-hoc for smartphones and tablets.

To to this, the best way is to use a PHP library which can do the work for us, is called Mobile Detect. It can recognize if the device is a smartphone or a tablet and can return a lot of variables.


To simplify the life of users, we have created a Joomla plugin which, through this PHP library, can switch the template for you in few easy steps. It's called Digi Template Switch.
