I had a question here. Isn't it just easier to build the mobile site using templates, upload it to the client's site, insert a redirect code on the client's server so when people view on mobile devices it automatically detects it and goes to the mobile site (otherwise it brings up their regular website) and you collect your fee (i.e. $300-$500)? But I keep reading of folks talking about mobile domains and monthly fees for doing mobile websites. So if I understand it correctly then what others are doing is making the mobile site as separate domain (.mobi extension) that you host (and charge a monthly fee for that) while the regular site still is hosted by the client. So then do you guys have the redirect code still there, but it redirect to the mobile site url/domain now that you are hosting if someone does the search on a mobile device? Is my understanding correct? Is that the reason folks are talking about charging monthly hosting fees and setting up mobile domains for clients? |

Yes, if you want to use rounded corners you will need to use images to achieve this. Rounded corners can be achieved using CSS however they will not work on every phone. I know my Blackberry doesn't recognize the rounded corners and will just display them as ordinary corners. It's not a huge deal but if you want the rounded corners to display on every device the only way to achieve that is with images.

Here is what happens. You log onto your clients cPanel and make a subdomain, www.m.domain.com Why .m? Well, I don't know - but it seems Google likes it, so why not? (m.youtube.com) This also helps to ensure Google does not class the 'mobile website' as duplicate content, which it may or may not do when you just use an extension like /m on the end of your domain. So that's why we use .m.domain.com Further, you then make a mobile website, upload it to www.m.domain.com and then you go into their normal desktop site, put the script in and then every time a mobile goes onto the main site, they are redirected to the mobile site. So I think your question was why do you put it on a .m.domain.com subdomain? I think the only answer is that it is standard practice/Google approves of it. It doesn't cost a cent to have another subdomain, and nor do you need to buy more hosting... it is all on the same hosting. | |

I would also stay away from using the '&' symbol in your page file names. This is not a good practice and can cause issues with other services you might use. Browsers and other services seem to have a hard time with all those special characters. I would also try and use as few images as possible. For example I would use regular text not an image for all the footer information -regular text would look better, I think, and increase the load time of those pages. They are just a few small things I think would make a big difference to the usability of that site. | |

I won't bother that much with rounded tables.I won't(don't) use tables at all.Only when really need them. Just design the mobile websites for the finger,clear images, short details(content) and get Quentin's script to fit any phone. That will set you up. Anyway, if you can sell mobile websites, why bother designing them? Why not outsource and focus on the selling part? Won't that be more profitable? Thanks Quentin and Will for all the resources and tips, good content to learn. |

I had the same experience with my personal site for offline business, which is WordPress based. The WP Touch totally screwed up my site because I used a lot of widgets. I ended up rebuilding it using a script I got through a WSO.

It`s not wrong to say that mobile business is a vast field in niche to get benefit in terms of revenue. This business provides you chance to earn more and more specially in a local market area. I liked your post and wanna ask your source of information that from which market area did you conduct this research buddy??? | |

When we design mobile sites are we designing for the operating system or the browser on the phone?

However you are not just designing for one mobile phone browser. You are designing for every mobile phone browser on the market. There is no point having a mobile site that looks great on one type of phone but doesn't work on another. The W3C mobile web standards were developed for that very reason. To make mobile websites work with on as many different mobile devices as possible. So if you run your mobile site through a mobile website validator (http://validator.w3.org/mobile/) and don't get a great score it means your site is less likely to work across a whole range of devices. | ||

Regarding round corners, I make my buttons through a great site Cool Text: Logo and Graphics Generator . Once you select a button, there are several variations you can make of it and the size can be customized. It's an awesome resource, and it's free! I realize that having images may not be as good as having tables, but they're small and I just like the looks of buttons as compared to tables. Jenny |

Pretty well Flying Hammers I just use simple html with CSS and Will uses Php with the same. Wills template definitely validates a lot better than mine simply because we use larger graphics and tables which kills our sites validation however we have had no real problems with customers and clients being able to view our sites on multiple devices. I guess it comes down to what you want. Look at some of the biggest and most profitable mobile websites and virtually none validate very well but do make a lot of money. So you have to decide if your customer wants a visually nice mobile website or a validated one. Personally I would use both depending on the business you are targeting. Random of selection to test validation. Google search 100% Flickr Mobile 37% Facebook mobile 80% Answers Mobile 33% NY Times Mobile 56% ESPN Mobile 50% Suburu mobile 5% Best Buy mobile 60% Ours range from 10% to 70% depending on content. Vale Display which is one of our customers is 50% with a lot of content. Quentin |

Quentin and Will - it's taken me forever but I've finally really had the chance to dig into both of your WSOs this week and I have to say a big THANKS for both of these excellent courses! Yes, they each stand pretty well on their own, but I'm glad I purchased both as there are many elements in each WSO that I find helpful and the templates are fantastic in both cases. I don't vouch for too many things around here, but these two mobile WSOs are definitely in my TOP 5 out of the dozens of WSOs I've purchased over the years - thanks guys! Steve |

I found the same thing, probably because these are examples on one of Quentin's sites and the post they are on is nearly four months old. Here is what worked for me. 1-Click the link in the post; 2-In the address bar, highlight everything before the second instance of "http:" (up to & including "url="), then hit [delete] then[enter] and it will display the site. |

Will, you make a lot of comments that are right on the mark, but as a mortgage professional, your comment here that "a big percentage of people purchasing and/or selling homes are older couples" is simply not true. Over the past couple years, there have been more 1st time homebuyers than ever before. Having done mortgages for over 10 years, I know the average buyers are NOT older couples. Even in Florida, most buyers are not older couples. My average home buyer is under 40. Very few are older couples. It's nowhere near a big percentage. For anyone ruling out QR codes for real estate due to the age of the prospect, Will's facts are false. | |

That is still true. It depends on the location and current state of the economy, yes, but a lot of home buyers are of the generation who are not who would not be into scanning QR codes. | |

I have worked in the business for over 10 years Will. Older couples is NOT a "big" group. And certainly not big enough to eliminate a piece of technology because of them. We use a lot of technology in mortgages and real estate. We keep our users in mind. After all, there are some older people who don't even use cell phones. But that doesn't mean WE, as marketers, don't use cell phones at all. Instead, we make sure everybody can access the data somehow - it might be email, phone, pdf, snail mail, QR coding, smartphone, etc. I don't think anyone would use a QR code in isolation. There would always be a backup source. | |

Note, I am not saying do not use technology I am saying use a better technology. Honestly, who wants to get out of their car and go and scan a signboard when instead they could see a word and text it to a number, from the comfort of their car. As I also previously mentioned a lot of people don't like to have their interest be known and wouldn't like to be seen poking around the sign board out the front of a house. I just don't think a technology that requires more effort from the end user is the answer. Text messaging is a much better fit and is also a technology that a lot more people have on their phones as opposed to the small percentage who would have a QR code reader. QR codes are definitely a great 'gimmick' in some industries but I do not think the introduction of them into the real estate market is going to make anything work more efficiently than it already does. Just my opinion... | |

I had about 20 blogs on shared hosting and last year there was a virus on the server & it screwed up 15 of my blogs. What a mess it was. At first, Go Daddy was not very helpful. They said it was my fault. That was crap. When I tried to reach Bob Parsons to complain, suddenly help became available. I needed help immediately because 7 of my prime sites were down. Someone was assigned to help me and he switched everything to a new server to clear it up. It worked. Took a while, but it worked. I'am gradually moving all hosting over to Hostgator. Using GoDaddy only for name registration. So, in answer to your question, it can happen. We must be prepared for any tech issue. Put it in your agreement with your clients so you cover yourself. | |

I personally think QR Codes work great in real estate however I think you need to pick your market and aresa. As Will said if you are out in the suburbs then getting out of the car is a definite downer for the neighbors and owners etc. But we have done them for demonstration homes, condos, pre sales of home units, in real estate windows in fact anywhere you get walk through traffic or you need to provide extra info. We recently did a set for a large home unit sales program in the CBD of our city. So there is definitely a place for them in the real estate market. As for age I think you would be surprised at who is using a smart phone these days as Baby Boomers are enamored with technology and I see a heap of them around playing with their smartphones. Never assume in Marketing. Quentin |

Smart realtors know they must engage a hodgepodge of marketing options to reach prospective buyers. I work with realtors who have their hands in all kinds of marketing - especially where the cost is zero or very low. They want to reach buyers from every possible angle. WillR can't wrap his head around the fact that QR Codes would be just one weapon in the marketing arsenal. There can't be anything wrong with that. A lot of realtors will have 3 options at their listed property: (1) a text message code, (2) a brochure, (3) a QR Code. Let the visitor take their pick. Heck, if just 2 people drive by a sign and use their phone to scan a QR Code and the realtor ends up with a $3,000 commission, nothing more need be said. | |

Thanks for posting. I had heard about Quentin's script and now I know where to find it. I have a new client -pizza place - in a small town by the interstate and he gets a lot of business from travelers who realize they better stop for a meal. This will work well for him. |
