It’s easy to make your website more mobile friendly, and in this article we’ll take a look at what apps and tools are available to help you make sure that you are not alienating those visitors that find you via the mobile web.

What is your mobile web strategy?
Before we plunge into mobile websites, you should take some time to think about why you need a mobile website. Is your content useful for someone on the go? What are the goals of your site’s visitors when they arrive at your website or blog? How will being able to access your content on a mobile device serve those goals?

Here are some tips when formatting your site to make it simpler for those on mobile devices to access your content:

Keep the number of clicks in between where they land and what they want to a minimum

Remove any irrelevant information from the page

Clearly label links

Keep images small and relevant. Use ‘alt text’ tags to label images in case they never load

Make use of lists, but keep the number of items to a minimum

Yahoo! Design stencil kit is a free pattern library for designing web apps for mobile phones, iPhones and other UI environments.

With MobiOne you can create iPhone or iPad apps, you can test your designs even if you don't have a Mac.

IWPhone Wordpress Plugin

The ideal scenario if you want to get fully invested in providing the optimum mobile browsing experience for your visitors is to get a native app designed for your content that works across multiple operating system platforms.

Will your customers who are searching for you using their mobile devices find your website or your competition's?
