Mobile Optimized Membership Site

Hello Warriors,
I'm new here but not exactly new to IM. I'm ok with tech and I am currently working on a membership site using Optimizepress for my sales funnel, Digital Access Pass for the membership platform and Easy Video Player to delivery my content. Each week (for a full year) subscribers get a new video teaching them about a certain topic. What I'm looking for is a plugin for Wordpress that will work with these plugins allowing the videos and membership areas to be optimized for viewing on smartphones and tablet devices. I would like my subscribers to be able to view their dripped content on the go or in places where a laptop or desktop computer would not be able to be set up.

Does anyone know if such a plugin exists? Or if not, I welcome any suggestions to make the site work better for mobile devices.

Thanks

-Todd

    how are the videos embedded into the content? are they using custom page types or regular wordpress pages/posts? am working on something right now that may be able to help you - i would just need to know how the videos are embedded? ie are they like youtube or self hosted videos... are they embedded with special [shortcode] tags?

    hope that makes sense

    cheers

    There's a plugin called FitVid, works great on WP. I'll pm ya the rest of info if you want.
    Here's and example WP site optimized for mobile with a video on it.

    There are free plugins that can lock access down to whatever level you need.

    Jay, Thanks for the response, perhaps I am getting a bit ahead of myself and need to realize what I'm trying to do isn't as black and white as I had hoped. Also, a better understanding of DAP might help. Sorry. I will be storing all my videos on Amazon S3 and using EVP to embed them. I had two ideas for embedding the video. The first was to have each video post onto a wordpress page as it is dripped. The theme would of course be through Optimizpress but it would be a page full of videos, one after the next. Though the more I think about this it will most likely take some time to load on a mobile device, especially as more and more content is dripped out. I believe what might make more sense but will take longer (for me) to construct is to have the drip feed, drip out a link to a different page for each video.
    In other words idea one: subscriber logs into their members area and is presented with a page full of video "frames" and the number of them is dependent on how long they have been a member.
    idea two: subscriber logs into their members area and is presented with a page full of links, each one going to a page with a video on it and they can go back and view a different video as needed.
    Does that make sense? Or more importantly is it possible? This is my first "big" business idea and while I know it's going to be a lot of work I am looking forward to the experience and challenges I will face in building it to the level I want it to get to. So any opinions on how to do this properly or whatever has worked for others is what I'm looking for.

    Stewart - Would totally like to check that out and see if it would work for what I'm trying to achieve. I can't send PM's back but please feel free to send me one with the info. Also if you have any other thoughts on plugins that could help me achieve this I am open to all suggestions.

    Thanks again guys for your input!

    Best piece of advice I've ever received... "Listen, just shut the F*#^ up and listen!" (Because there's always going to be people who have been doing what you do/ want to do for much longer. Shut up, listen to them and learn from them)
