Time To Take Your Site Mobile – It Could Be Easier Than You Think
Unless you’re hiding out in a cave the past few months, you’ve undoubtedly seen all of the buzz around going mobile with your site. Going mobile means optimizing your site to work with a crowd of small devices. If you have a wordpress blog, however, this can be a pretty trivial process – so read on…
The fact is that more and more users are accessing the Internet from their iPhones, Android phones, Blackberries and iPads. My wife, for example, loves to surf the web from her iPhone – way too small for me – but she likes it because it integrates with her email and is easy to surf a bit right before going to sleep and then easily throw it up on the nightstand. She also loves to take photos of our young daughter with the iPhone and then email them to my mom, etc… so for her the iPhone is almost like a notebook computer. In fact, she prefers it to a NetBook. Many people use the iPad the same way – as an alternative to a NetBook or Notebook inside the house.
One of our favorite new plugins for WordPress is a free tool that will automatically extend your site with a mobile-friendly integrated design and there is absolutely nothing you need to do other than install it. Now, it comes with a ton of configurable options, but honestly, we just threw it on the site and were pleased with the default settings.
The homepage is shown up above (you can click on it for a zoom in) and if you scroll down a bit on the page, this is what the list of blog posts looks like.
The individual post is also very, very easy to read.
Summary
Now, really optimizing your site for mobile access is a obviously a bit more complex, but this plugin will really get you 90% of the way there if you are running your site on a WordPress Blog – best of all, it’s free! Many business owners have their main site in one technology and the blog installed on a sub-domain with WordPress. If that’s your scenario, this tool would work great for you.
