Building for Touch Screen — thoughts?
 

Hi,
I am about to build a website that only will be accessed from touch-screen computers in tourist "kiosks." Is there a particular plugin that will be useful for this so nothing needs other than a touch to work? And how about if there's a "Sign Up" feature on the site? Is there a feature that can load an on-screen keyboard so the visitor can punch in his/her name?

Is there a specific theme that makes this simpler to do? Should I perhaps just use a mobi-site plugin and resize for the larger screen?

I've never done this for touch-screens before and any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

What touch screens will be used? Many newer ones have built in functionality for the keyboards and other issues you might need to be aware of.

Hi Nick,
looks like it's a regular desktop computer... but they are only using the screen, not the keyboard.

before spending a lot of time seeing if you need to make a keyboard for your site you should see if there is something on the computer that will do it. Something built in is going to be much more functional.
