Three Tools All Mobile Website Development Services and Companies Must Deploy

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.
