What's the best approach for header/footer in responsive web design?


I'm an IA doing a responsive site, as part of a much larger scale e-commerce site. Our pages are the only responsive parts of the overall site, so 90% of our site will not yet be responsive. Part of this is a test case, the other part is groundwork for a much larger effort.


My question has to do with header/footer.


We also have a mobile-optimized site, done by a 3rd party provider. Being that the overwhelming majority of our header/footer links will go to non-responsive and non-mobile-optimized, does it make sense to filter those out of our responsive site for mobile view?


What I've done thus far is devised a header/footer IA that includes only links to our mobile site. This way, the user stays in the mobile context and does not get bounced to a page that does not offer a good UX on the mobile.



Is this the right way to approach it?


Just not sure if the right decision is to include the same exact header/footer content on the mobile as we have for desktop/tablet.
