Mobify.me – The Easy Way to Create a Mobile Version of Your Blog

Everyday, more and more people are surfing the Internet on their smartphones. Some estimates put the share of mobile traffic at 20% for certain types of websites and it’s growing.

Most sites don’t work well on mobile. Long load times, incompatible content and difficult navigation can be frustrating to users. Site owners need to optimize their sites in order to increase mobile traffic and revenue. You can now create a mobile version of your blog easily. As a matter fact, you can do it for free with a service call Mobify.me.

Mobify.Me lets you quickly design a “mobile projection” of the existing site by picking content blocks off your site in its web interface, styling it with CSS and deploying via a DNS CNAME. Mobify.Me takes care of device recognition, image resizing (sites download 2x to 10x faster), feature detection, template matching and many other mobile problems.

Mobify.me provides you with a unique Mobile Design environment. Instead of creating mobile sites from scratch, choose content from the existing layout and tweak your CSS to work on a small screen. Developing a mobile site, especially if you have a custom CMS, is not easy. It requires integration of content, templates and device detection. It’s a lot faster to create a mobile view with Mobify.me. It will extend your design decisions to the rest of the source site and make the mobile view available at an address like m.yoursite.com.

With Mobify.me, there is no need for a separate mobile content management flow. With a mobile view, you don’t have to worry about updating a separate mobile content management system. All relevant updates in your source site are automatically shown on mobile.

Setting up a Mobify blog is a three-step process. You need to design the mobile version of your site using the Mobify dashboard. The video below shows how that’s done.

After you’re satisfied with the look and feel of your mobile blog, you have to insert a piece of JavaScript into the head tag of your header.php file. Alternatively, you can use the Mobify.me WordPress plugin to do it for you

The last step requires you to add a DNS CNAME record to point to your mobile URL. Congrats! You now have a mobile version of your blog. The next time someone visits your blog with a mobile device, the Mobify plugin will detect the device and will display the mobile version to them.
