Can you advise what is the best mobile website builder that is cost effective?

AppWarrior

I have tried over a dozen. The best is hard to say because it depends on what you want to accomplish. That is like asking "what is the best way to market a product?"

In general I prefer mobisiteglore.com. It is the most robust site.

Mofuse.com is around $8 per month. Like I said it all depends on what you what to do.

I also love detectmobilebrowser.com.

For Wordpress sites, Plugin Buddy Mobile is great! PluginBuddy | WordPress Plugins

Also you can use Trumpia.com is quite good.

There is many more I like, but it looks like I gave you plenty already.

Best,

P.S. If you want I can PM you my discount code for Mobile LPS to make a mobile landing page.

I've tried a bunch, and my ABSOLUTE favorite is My Mobile Business.

The sites are absolutely stunning (there are some crappy looking mobile sites out there), the training is excellent (will make you wish you had a cool Australian accent) and while it seems WP mobile sites are they way to go... they are bloated with scripts and take long to load- a killer to a mobile site.

Will Williams developed these to be extremely light (all php), yet very easy to edit (no programming experience needed, but you will be editing php files. But he makes it easy).

These are sites I've cranked out mobiles sites for in less than 30 minutes

Tampa Marketing & Media Consulting | Done Right Marketing & Media
Eighty-Four, PA Pizza Shop - Danny Jrs Pizza
Brandon FL Preschool – Village Early Learning Center | Brandon's Premier Preschool

(view on a mobile phone, obviously)

I'm not associated with this product, I just really love it- after much frustration with finding a mobile site system.

I don't have anything to offer, but have a great day anyway!

I've had some great results with Wordpress and the WPtouch theme which is free

Steve Solem

Dave - is that the system from warrior WillR or another Will? If someone else, can you share a link?

I have WillR's and Quentins systems and they're both excellent and easy to work with if you don't mind modifying a little code, and there are are few other WSOs that I've purchased that were worthwhile too.

I used to like the idea of a hosted solution like gomobi - but I like the flexibility of having a template I can tweak in a hundred different ways and especially like that I don't have to pay someone a monthly fee that I then have to markup and pass on to a client.

Cheers,

Steve

P.S. Dave - checked out all your sites on my iphone and #1 and # looked great, but the pizza place didn't redirect.

Steve,

Yep, it's WillR's product. I'm like you... tried GoMobi, but not a ton of flexibility, and don't like the monthly hosting.

Here's what I did: bought a BlueHost account when they were running a Christmas special ($2.95 per month). All my local client's mobile sites will (eventually) be redirected and hosted there.

I'm offering people FREE mobile sites... it takes me about a half hour for each.

I'm then going to charge $39/month.. which includes hosting, 2 edits, analytics reporting.

It's working... Will, if you read this, thanks.

Dave

P.S. Steve... forgot to add the redirect for the pizza shop, the mobile site is at Danny Jrs Pizza thanks for the heads up...

I don't have anything to offer, but have a great day anyway!

Steve Solem

Thanks Dave - didn't recognize the newer template there, you've done a nice job customizing it for your clients!

Good to hear the monthly vs one-time payment plan is working for you too as I've heard good and bad about both approaches.

Best,

Steve

Tell me how that goes, I wonder if most of your clients will end up paying the monthly fee.

I was interested in purchasing those! How much and what code do you have to modify if you don't mind me asking?

dave830

I will.. I have an advantage that I've been in a local biz networking group (BNI) for 3 years as the web guy. So everyone completely trusts me... finding new clients is never an issue. If I recommend this, I think they'll do it. But, I'm VERY sensitive to protect my reputation, and not be the hard sell guy... I think it pays off.

I don't have anything to offer, but have a great day anyway!

dave830

Nick, the process is three fold with Will's system:
1. Create a mobile subdomain (i.e. m.domain.com)
2. Upload the folder of php files
3. Install a redirect on the actual website (plugin for wordpress)

customization wise, all the business details are in one php file (details.php). This is business name, address, phone, logo image name, where the email form sends to, google analytics code, etc.

Then you edit the index.php to make sure you have the menu set up the way you want. Cool thing is, he has the site totally stocked with menu items, you just delete the ones you don't want.

Finally, any of the pages (about us, services, etc) you can open and paste text.

You've gotta be comfortable with FTP and editing pages (NOT writing PHP code!) but very quick once you do it a few times.

And again, Will does a great job in the training videos. Watch them once and your set.

Again, I've got no affiliation with him; I've just paid a lot, and spent a lot of time trying to get the mobile thing where I like it. This is the one for me.

Hope this helps.

Quentin's first, then Will's programs are how I got started. Both are excellent investments in my opinion if you want to learn how to produce sites. I've opted to go for unique custom designs rather than templates, but both have their place. With those guy's pricing, it's a no brainer if you're serious about learning this stuff!

No, I'm not affiliated with either one! Just a satisfied customer.

Thanks for the advice.

Much appreciated.

How is everyone targeting there leads? Are you emailing businesses or writing letters to them?

AustralasianLadyBoy

WillR or Mobile Web Pro? Have both and not sure which one to use for my clients - they both seem solid.

Stay tuned for my new 5r gig: "me so horny, me love you long time 5 dollar..."

i'm using lot of templates and builders, on this way you can build lot of unique sites

Why do people go to third party systems when it comes to building mobile website, what if you used a third party system and they go belly up... who are you going to fix that, and don't say that it can't happen cus i have seen really big internet companies go belly up that really hurt my business. (I-bill, Registerfly)

I understand that these applications are making your life much easier, but to be honest if your looking for a builder maybe you're better of just to outsource your designs and keep full control when your working with clients, you don't wanna get sued now do you?

Virky,

Thanks for initiating this thread--very timely for me. And thanks to everyone contributing to it. As a newbie this was super helpful. I had already purchased a decent WP site builder but didn't really realize that they are much slower than a slim php builder.

Dave, a special shout out to you for your recommendations. I just put my nickle down on WillR's product and am about to start downloading. Not that my opinion means much, but I will look at it through the eyes of a newb and provide a review here and on the WSO.

Man I love the Warrior Forum! You guys are the best...

Cheers,
Mitchell

brickandmobile provides the most robust system to create premium mobile webites that are truly steps ahead in terms of both design and technology.

It's a fully hosted cloud solution, so although it's not a Wordpress plugin, it does take all the headaches out of making real quality mobile sites.

joekane

I'm with you on that one. I have 10 different self made templates I use that I customize for each customer.

Bizmarkie

GREAT question. I hope that this is not something we will be seeing happen with the mobile industry like we did with internet industry in it's early years.

Nanaswhimsy

That is what I am looking to do I got WP Mobile pro but it is well WP. I am a control freak so I want complete control over my sites. Hosting, design etc.

Trying to think long term, need to have HTML5 with CSS that adjusts for mobile. HTML5rocks.com has some great information for having one website for both desktop and mobile, using autodetection to drive which CSS to use. Using a subdomain for mobile sites will eventually be phased out in my opinion.

If anyone has some templates in HTML5/CSS (main/mobile css) for use in Dreamweaver I would definitely be interested in seeing examples!

Really, there's a lot. A bunch of it. YOU just need to identify first "what" you really want before engaging your business to one. One software may be good in one aspect but lacks the most important thing.

Good luck.

Cheers!

Ohw it will... i am sure that there are now people setting up these services which will be used by marketers and will blow up in their faces...

With somethings you can't get around third party services, like domains and hosting, but these type of services should be avoided like the plague imho.

What would happen if you have lets say a 100 clients on such a service and that services says, "he guys, i am going to quit this service"?

You would be in a world of hurt... For those people (especially in the US) i hope you have a good lawyer, cus they will sue your ass of lol.

Just prevent hat by building these sites yourself, you don't need templates ore anything, there is so much free stuff available that there is no excuses to use such services...

That is my view on it.

Thanks everybody, this was helpful. Been confused about which app to use to do this for my blogs, squeeze pages, etc. The ones that are free for the wp blogs don't really make that great of looking mobile sites, now I can.

UTarmadillo

I agree with you YellowGreenMedia, but that is the problem, there is so much out there it is a bit of a time sink finding what is worth looking at. Do you have any suggestions for a good place to start building on your own?

Thanks

I picked up somebody to do it from fiverr for cheap, $5 per page.

Great thread! I was thinking about trying out EzFanpageGenerator.

Here you have some free templates, go play with them

That is the only way you will learn how to build them yourself, but for a lot of people that is to much to ask and they take the risk... that is something i really can't grasp...

I will stay away from plugins like http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...ptinforms.html in the future..

I also bought it, ( as i do almost all of the mobile wso`s ) but you don`t want to put your mobile sites at the mercy of the (at the moment) non responsive developer...

UTarmadillo

I decided to just use dreamweaver cs5.5, Photoshop and brush up on some html.
I put together a site but it took a while. Let's see how fast I can get at this.
Thanks for the reply YellowGreen.

@Legacy3

You are right, i stand corrected about sunnygals plugin, but what i really wanted to say is that maybe its not the best option to build your mobile website business on wordpress plugins.

Wordpress is great but i have also had a lot of problems with it in the past..

Kevin Z

Wordpress was never made for mobile! While it can sometimes come close, unless you have the perfect cocktail of plugins it will never be 100% optimized.

And even when it does work, a plug-in changes/requires updating and the house of cards gets shaky.

I personally recommend a hosted/mobile first solution.

I have used many and spent many $ trying to find the perfect mobile building platform. Have to say for ease of use and tidy sites, WillR's tops 99% of others out there.

Based on what I have read, squeeze pages and pop ups are a huge frustration for mobile phone users and as such not recommended.

Keith Green

I find Trumpia.com is quite good. Rest is depend on your needs. What you want to do.

I would recommend Wapple and Mobify Studio... Wapple is a user friendly..try it

Jami Pagan

if you have an existing website like I did, I had this guy from fiverr convert it to mobile friendly version for very good price, then bought m.MyAddress.com format from my ISP for $40 annually.. hope u guys can be benefited from mobile marketing... I will convert 1 page website to Mobile website for $5 on fiverr.com

Does anyone know anything about MobeeArt? I've been looking at it. They have a couple of programs, one pretty basic and the other a little more advanced.

I don't like all the companies that don't put any pricing on their website. MobeeArt doesn't either, but for some strange reason, I filled out their contact form which required a phone number (I hate that) but again, for some strange reason, I went ahead and submitted it.

After several email exchanges, I finally had a GoToMeeting for 1 hour with them.

It looks pretty good to me, (I am definitely no techie). I thought for what they were offering, it would be to expensive for me, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Do any of you know anything about this company?

Qcreek

i would recommend gomobi or pidjn.

I also have had good results after installing the free WPtouch plugin on my wordpress blog.

jayspann

Ive tried a few different ways and I agree that WP is not quite there for mobile. Right now I'm using an HTML5 composer and just making the sites from scratch.

Super easy and fast to make but a little bit of a hassle to update... if your lazy like me
