You
own a certain website that fits nicely on your desktop screen, but
behaves weirdly on your smartphone screen. What do you call such
sites? Well, I call them out-and-out unresponsive – something that
will make smartphone users immediately click away from them.
Easy,
fast and responsive versions of a website is all that every mobile website development company
strives for. The good news is that creating such a cell
phone-friendly site isn't any different from creating a normal,
regular desktop site. Both use the same, same tools. Almost.
But,
the bad news is that there's a bit of complication for the first one
– such sites perform in a very different way and require even the
best
website development companies
to test them in a very different environment. So, what tools would
you prefer to create your mobile site? Here's a list of some that
come for free.
Google
Mobile Optimizer:
If
you are a busy bee, you'll love this tool. It's quick and effective,
turning those usual desktop-entertaining sites into light-weight,
smartphone-loving ones in no time. This tool is a favorite with many
a mobile website development companies,
although it has a slight drawback in making the sites that it
transformed totally non-customizable.
Mippin:
Another
great, free tool for smartphone-friendly site creation, Mippin works
best for RSS-enabled sites. The results are instantaneous with the
site created being compatible with over 2000 screen sizes and
handsets. This tool has an upper hand in the sense that it can
provide users with a very basic analytics report that it offers for
free. Also, there's more scope of getting greater revenues with its
unique feature of allowing mobile advertising.
iWebKit:
Of
course, how could Apple stay behind? The iWebKit tool offers a basic
framework to develop sites that can run on an iPhone or iPod Touch.
Whether you are hiring the best website development services
or not doesn't really matter. With just a little knowledge of HTML,
you can very well handle this tool on your own. It's even great for
the beginners.
And
these are just a few. Google up and you can learn about a hell lot of
other free tools that assist in developing sites for your smartphone
screen. Use them and shine on.
