Mobile website design

January 19, 2010

You will only see this post if you are viewing my website on a desktop computer web browser. Why? Because if you are on a mobile phone that is capable of viewing web sites you will have been directed to my new Mobile Web Site.

Recently, I have spent a good deal of time working on template development for mobile phone websites. My first is for johnmcmullen.mobi and is automatically loaded if you are using a mobile phone like the iPhone or Droid (or any phone running Android OS).

One of the most exciting things I have discovered is that with a specially designed template you can use WordPress (the same CMS used for this site) for content management. This allows the site owner to edit and add content to their site with any desktop web browser … or even on their mobile phone!

These specially designed mobile websites allow you to do several things.

  1. The site looks much better on a mobile device. Pages to not have to be zoomed or pinched to fit the screen.
  2. Graphics can be optimized for faster viewing of pages and articles.
  3. Forces you to focus your content.
  4. If using WordPress, you can us RSS feeds to share your posts and allows users to subscribe.

There are several other advantages to creating a special mobile version of your website. Please contact me for more information.

I have HTML/CSS templates for iPhone and Droid/Android phones.

I have WordPress Mobile template that works well for both the iPhone and Android OS.
