Separate Mobile Wordpress Theme or Bundle Them?

I’m working on my first WordPress theme to submit, and I’m not sure what to do about mobile. It would make sense to create a separate section in the CSS to target mobile so that people can just buy one theme and have it automatically detect and display the correct CSS . This is pretty easy to do with device-width, max-device-width, and orientation rules to account for the common widths (

But then there is a separate mobile WordPress category on ThemeForest as well. Do people really buy a separate theme just for mobile? And for people who buy the regular theme, assuming I don’t include the mobile version, how can they easily upgrade? If I do include the mobile version with the regular theme, can I still sell it separately?

With all the competition on TF (especially in the WP catgegory), anything extra you can add will help you stand out. I think bundling the two together might be a nice little bonus to give your theme a little extra incentive. Sorry I don’t have any real answers to your questions on specifics. Just my 2cents on bundling them together.

Yeah, and maybe make sure you have a fully customizable home page too Cheers.

Thanks for the suggestion…that’s what I was thinking as well. I wouldn’t want people to have to buy my theme twice just to get the mobile part, considering it’s just a few extra CSS rules. So it’s settled…I’m going to bundle them together!
