I have been doing alot of reading on the internet, but I can't find anything for the beginner. I am new to web development in general and am an intern at a web programming company and they want me to make a page on their site mobile. But I can't find out where to begin any suggestions on what I should be reading or researching?

Have you been given a page to convert or are you starting from scratch? – JeffO Jun 2 '11 at 14:44
They want me to do it from scratch, because the mobile version is going to do a few things differently, particularly it is suppose to recognize where the user came from to have some of the form filled out already – Zaask Jun 2 '11 at 14:49

Sorry, I can't believe you couldn't find anything on the web for page design for mobile sites. Look for beginner information on how to create a 'regular' web page. Once you know how to do that, you can see how to convert to mobile.

I highly recommend the articles on A List Apart. In particular, they show how a well-designed page can work for any display, without the need for building a special "mobile version" of your site.
