Actually I have two home pages for "wide-screen" devices (one of them 
with the auto-detection script), and one for mobile devices.
Upon landing in the homepage, the script could redirect visitors to the 
"mobile" homepage. Here a button allows to go back to the home (the 
second one, without the script). This way I don't use cookies and allow 
for visitors to decide if to stay in the "small-screen" subsystem or go 
back to the standard page. I will however think about your suggestions, 
and will explore further what css can do. I surely don't want to change 
a bit of my standard page to accomodate it for mobile devices.
What I am really waiting for, is user's feedback, then I'll see what to 
do! ;-)
