WEll, if this isn't a joke, I try to give a good answer. It may be possible
to push the source code through some scripts and generate WML, but for
cellphones are really different requirements. The display is small, you
often have no colors and it is really different to navigate with a cell
phone. It is mostly impossible to enter long search strings.

So converting a homepage to WML always means a complete redesign of the
layout.
