I know it will work but it will ugly... but after googling i have found about asp.net mobile pages that will work for my requirement..... but are there any more options available which will reduce my development effort.

There shouldn't be any difference in what language the site is programmed in. How the client (in this case a phone) interprets it is entirely based on what it is sent: html, css, and javascript. One popular client-side framework for mobile development is http://jquerymobile.com/. Its goal is to:

unify user interface system across all popular mobile device platforms, built on the rock-solid jQuery and jQuery UI foundation.

To see a great example of mobile/responsive design: go to http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0b3/, and change your browser width in and out. Notice how page elements move around based on your screen size? There are different css rules that apply based on the max-width of the browser window. So the solution is baked right into the site.

Other than a framework, the foundation of mobile development is creating semantically correct (and not too verbose) markup that a mobile browser can parse. This means good classic html, small optimized images, percentage based sizes, etc..
