Here we are again, on the cusp of version 3.0 of the plugin being released (with an HTML export feature so that sites built with plugin can standalone from Wordpress) and there is a need to debunk further myths about the plugin or the commitment of the developer. Irene, the developer of the plugin, actually uses EZMSG herself in her own offline business to service mobile clients. As a result there is an apparent commitment to make sure that the plugin works well and that new features are added. Furthermore, there is a thriving community on her thread, now 24 pages long, proving that several hundred if not thousands are having success with the plugin. If you had problems getting the plugin to work you should have submitted a ticket to Irene (she would have helped) or you should have posted to her thread where other users have been more than willing to answer questions. If your questions could not be answered and you couldn't get the plugin to work she does provide a 100% Money Back Guarantee (as seen on page 1 of her thread). Bottom line there is a guarantee, help is available, and the plugin absolutely does work. It is because of the Developer's support and commitment to the plugin that I believe EZ Mobile Site Generator is one of the best mobile website builders available - and it keeps getting better. | |

You may find that when your WP mobile sites are on a clean WP install and paired with a good caching plugin like WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, or Quick Cache you will see near instant load times as if you had used one of the other methods to build your mobile site. WP can be a great tool to build mobile just as it is a great tool to build desktop sites even though it was only originally intended for blogs. | |

This is turning into a very good thread. Some very good points and advice. Have to agree about My Mobile Business. It has helped me lots and has been the money maker overall. I have been experimenting with HTML5 and finding it to be great for simple sites. It could of course be great for complex sites, but I need to learn more. Also learning the jQuery Mobile | jQuery Mobile setup. Not bad at all, just little learning curve. Have found EZ Mobile Site Generator (Irene's WP Plugin) to be great for the more complex layouts. With the release of V3 and HTML export it may become my favorite but time will tell. SO, please do keep sharing. I am enjoying all the advice and examples. Terry |

http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...6-reviews.html AND http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...ptinforms.html WillR's WSO is a business in a box, which includes a script to build beautiful sites manually along with documents and instructions on how to sell mobile sites as a business. Irene's EZMSG WSO includes a WP plugin that lets you build and manage sites using wordpress for ease of use. It's VERY powerful. One of the key benefits is that you can build multiple client sites off of ONE wordpress install. She just released version 3.0 yesterday. The new update now supports background images for the ultimate in customization and the ability to export your site to HTML so that it can stand alone from wordpress, load faster, and be placed on a clients server (if you desired). There were other significant add ons too and she is constantly upgrading this plugin. You'll get great support with both of these products and the best thing is you can buy them both for less than the price of one theme on WP Mobile Pro or less than the cost of one month with some of the hosted site builders. | |

I'll have to look more into that as that was a decent WSO, but needed some improvements made before I was really willing to start using it. Thanks for mentioning that! Steve | |

Regarding PiJnz, it looks like it's very similar to what Lime is using...and it may very well be the same program. However, it also looks like PiJnz'n lowest white label plan has a monthly fee of $165 and a maximum of 40 sites at that price. Additional sites on that plan are $5.00 per month for each site. The have a maximum number of total monthly unique visitors, also, but that maximum number seems to be pretty generous. The way I understand it, if your unique visitors exceed that limit, you are charged for the next higher plan which has a monthly fee of $395 per month. The way I understand Lime's mobile website plan is that you can have an unlimited number of sites and unlimited visitors. To add their website builder to their lowest SMS plan is a charge of $40 per month. Their other plans include the website builder automatically. And ALL of Lime's plans are true white label. Food for thought. | |

I'm in shock that nobody has mentioned warriorben yet, sign up to his email list and he will send you a free HTML/CSS mobile site and instructions on how to customise it. Add a little bit of code in your head tags and BOOM, free mobile site in about 2 mins, for an example visit leedsmarketing.org on your mobile device. |

This may have changed since I played with that here last summer, but my biggest gripes then were that they hosted everything and you also couldn't host more than just a few pages at one time. I really like the site builder though, so may have to really look into it again and see how it's improved. Cheers | |

1- Build a professional website that targets your local area 2- Set a mockup for mobile or use a simulator to show clients sites (before, after) 3- Build a facebook page with a contest (win free mobile site design or ipad, like us; for example) 4- Make a list of potential clients from your area Get FB fans, send email to potential clients.... Make sure all is ready then reach your goals. If your marketing was mixed correctly just like when you make a cake, it could get you 100+ customers in a short time, the problem is: you must be able to satisfied them or it could be a nightmare! Having 100+ clients is not something WOW but almost everyone in mobile design here have it, it can be in a short time if well marketing done or take longer for others, It's just a minimum to have otherwise must convert into another business to make profit and a living. | |

Now that I think back to my experience with this last summer (and I dont know if that WSO offered at the time was a reseller of PiJin or something that later evolved into PiJin) but the claim at that time was that you could create unlimited pages. That much was true, as you could create a site and download it to host it somewhere else and then go to work on another site, but then the only way to edit the site you created earlier was to go in by hand with a text editor and make changes to it. It sounds like in its current form that PiJIn has much more generous limits as does the version Lime if offering with their accounts, but it would be a nice feature that exported websites could be imported back into the system if edits needed to be made in the future. | |

I doubt, I'd want to just sell their sites with hosting. Besides, once you get a paying customer, you can always re-design their site to host it yourself... Thomas | |

Would be interested in what you folks think is the best mobile site builder. I'm using mobisitegalore. It's dead easy to use. OK the end result is not awesome but isn't that the whole idea. Produce something simple with one clicks to get everything the user needs. I download the site so can change any code which is handy (mind I am no code expert but you can add bits for seo etc) Gomobi looks good but there are compliance problems by the look of it. Any comments on your experiences with site builders appreciated. Mobile Apps Development |

Ya....I tried DudaMobile and totally agree with Kevin; (a couple of client desktop sites we've tried to convert on Dudamobile, just did not convert well at all. The formatting was off, the important pieces were missing while non-important pieces were in the premium screen space spot (and looking horrible). I just found it easier to spend 15-30 minutes copying and pasting and arranging the information the way my customer would want to see it on a mobile device and making it look like "candy" (on the hosted mobile CMS that we are using). >> Then, you can present them to businesses as a sample of what's possible. The results just weren't presentable at all for some of the sites (about half) that we've tried. Yup....MOST of the sites that Duda created for me....WITHIN SECONDS! Were NOT presentable to my prospects. Most of the sites had Flash somewhere and (of course) did not show and....most of the Photos came across in the wrong spots of smaller than they should be...etc. The result being (for US doers)....I CANNOT present Dudas "Quickie Sites" to my prospects. So....what's the solution? 1) Get WillR's or Quentin's programs (learn them) 2) Using www.IPhoneTester.co (or a similar Simulator)...send prospects what their sites look like on a Phone. 3) Tell them YOU have created a "Mobile Site" for them (you really haven't...YET!) and...if they'd like to SEE it....they can Reply to the email. 4) When you get responses....using Will's or Quenton's programs....make a "Sample" site....hosted on YOUR Host. 5) Then....discuss any changes they'd like and CLOSE the deal!

The great thing is that Duda usually does a good job with the home page capturing the logo ect. You can usually tweak a few things quickly and have a live version of their site viewable on a simulator, or a link they can type in there phone within 5 minutes. BUT I would not attempt to do it in front of the client because as mentioned in the above post, some sites just do not convert. I guess my point is that Duda can def be a good TOOL used to help sell mobile sites but the actual site should not be built there because of reasons already mentioned, and of coarse the fact that NEITHER YOU OR YOUR CLIENT WILL OWN THE SITE! | |

I second the suggestion to look at Lime. That's what we used for our site. We think it came closer to being what we wanted than all the others we looked at. Also, the SMS platform "ain't too shabby" either. They fall hand-in-hand with each other.

WillR's My Mobile Business is outstanding. Even if you are with a company such as Lime or Avid who have built in website builders, I'm not sure you can go wrong with the HTML based sites that Will shows you how to build. Sure, you can use the built in components as well, but I've used Lime's and I've used Will's. Both do a nice job, but I could bump out a really nice looking site quicker and easier with Will's. Having built sites that are independent of white label platforms is a good insurance policy in the unlikely event your white label provider were to go out of business or experience a significant outage at some point. There are other WP based website builders out there that some will swear by. I'm sure they are outstanding options as well, but for my money, Will's is the way to go if you are going to be building mobile sites outside of a white label system you may be with. Warren |

I think WillR's system uses PHP, not HTML... I'm not sure but I believe Quinten Browns system does use HTML... I just got WillR's system yesterday and I do think he is awesome. I just looked at Quintens and if one has the ability to put the page together in photoshop which I think he said he does and then puts the script to it... IMHO that would allow a person to make much fancier pages with nicer graphics... I am going to buy his system also to try it out. I like the idea of being able to have so many different templates. Thanks, Ed | |

Does a website need to have a mobile phone version? Many mobile web browsers can handle normal website templates anyway, or many templates have an automatic mobile phone version anyway, don't they? For example, opera mini does this, don't they? |

Only if you don't mind looking at a site that is all scrunched up. The website is displayed in mini format. Yes you can enlarge but then you have to pan all over to find what you are looking for. Gets old really fast. A true mobile site is designed from the outset to be easy to navigate with your fingers. Most mobile users also are looking for information differently than a desktop user. So, for example, you would want to make it easy for them to call you or let them know your address to get there. And no most themes do not have a mobile version. And the good ones that do, make it so that you can create a whole different site than what is displayed to a desktop user.

I've been playing around with some builders. Duda mobile seems quite bad. I spend more time cleaning up the site than if I just create it from scratch. I wonder how they got the partnership with google. One rather decent builder I tried is MobDis. Seems like nobody here tried it yet since I don't see it mentioned. |
