Hey guys, I sell regular websites made in wordpress and I'm thinking about expanding and offering a mobile site as a possible upsell. What's the best way to do it? Right now I'm thinking of mobile wordpress template, setup a mobile subdomain and some kind of redirect? Is that the best way to do it or what process would be the simplest while still delivering a top class site to the customer? I guess a WP plugin would be the simplest way to make a mobile redirect, any suggestions? Thanks! |

First step in building up a mobile website is Identifying your objectives and your targets and then setting up designs and features that meet with them. Remember that at this point different strategies need to be employed. Strategize away that enables the perfect use of all kinds phones belonging to your prospective audiences. Provide an easier and a quicker way for phone sites and landing pages, keeping in mind to design for limitations or extended capabilities of all types of phones. You should make sure that the entire size of a page corresponds with the limitations of the memory of the device. Also focus much on using links for navigation on feature phone sites. Make URLs short and and ensure that design process is perfect. Lastly make sure that your on-line Web URL capable of redirecting to the mobile site in case both your mobile and your on-line sites share the same URL.

Choose your word press plugins wisely when it comes to mobile sites as they can be too slow to load....

Carl Fridsjö there are a couple paid and free Wordpress plugins that can help you make mobile websites from your Wordpress dashboard. I've seen a few good premium plugins on here in the form of WSO's and there are some floating around the net. They all pretty much do the same thing but vary greatly in price. If you're looking for something simple, we've got a free Wordpress plugin that you can use to create basic mobile landing pages.

I am offering a service for mobile websites, have created some of my own and have outsourced. There are many different ways to create a mobile website from a program like WP Mobile Pro to 'free' website builder like mobisitegalore to customized versions. Having said all that, having looked at a lot of websites out there, I feel like a lot of people are forgetting the most important point of mobile sites which is this--they are NOT just a miniature of a regular site. A mobile person is looking for very specific 'mobile' information --like phone numbers, maps, opening hours, prices... rather than a long litany of the company's history. So mobile content is just as important as the way you build your mobile site.

If the original site is on WP you can use a plugin *here is a selection of free plugins Most of them are not real pretty to watch to be honest, if the original site isn't updated that much (which you also can sell as a service or bonus) i would go for a static mobile website with this *redirection script , changes are that your mobile site will look a lot better then all those free mobile plugins Good luck Dave * = this is not my site nor am i affliated with it in anyway... @RavishingRajni A mobile website is a website that is optimized for smartphones | |

If you use the Wordpress plugin, you are seriously destroying your client's trust and your cash flow in the long run. Your customers are smarter than you realize and will figure these things out, especially when they are so excited and go show their other business friends, only to be laughed at. I've seen it, heard about it from them and have taken their business. Don't be fooled by what you think you know. There are better solutions out there. The Wordpress developer did a well job, but it's below sub-par compared to some of the other ways to do mobile websites. Don't be embarrassed in the long run. Do more research and learn more. You are more professional than that..I hope ![]() |
