WDD LAUNCHES MOBILE VERSION WITH MOBIFY

By WDD Staff
November 17, 2009

Today we're pleased to announce the official launch of the mobile version of
Webdesigner Depot.

Thanks to the awesome team and service of Mobify, we were able to easily deploy
a mobile version for WDD, which loads extremely quickly and makes it easy to
browse our content when you're on the go on your mobile phone.

Why did we create a mobile version? Mobile access is growing 30% every year.
While WDD was optimized to load quickly on your desktop, the same format is not
best suited to a mobile device. A more streamlined version was needed, and
that's when Mobify came to our rescue.



The mobile version now carries specially optimized images that load quickly on
your mobile phone as opposed to loading the full sized images which are better
suited for broadband connections.

Mobify is a service that makes WordPress, Drupal and other websites
mobile-friendly. Supports iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and 5000+ other devices.
It includes some great features such as Google Analytics, custom domain and
branding, CMS plugins and SSL security.

The basic service is free and there are paid plans available for advanced
options. How does it work? Mobify doesn't like 'complicated' - the process is
kept simple and easy.










To get started, you'd simply click on the different elements of a live website
to make them a part of the mobile layout.

Then, deploy one of the mobile device detection plugins provided by Mobify.

Whenever a mobile user visits, Mobify generates a real-time mobile version,
optimizing images, styles and advertising for the small screen.

Designing for mobile used to be difficult, requiring style hacks and support for
many screen sizes.

Mobify allows web designers to reuse existing CSS, working with familiar classes
and elements.

It's also possible to add content just for mobile, like maps or contact
information.

Mobify stores the mobile layout and optimizes content in real-time for devices
used by the visitors.

The service integrates with the full site, capturing mobile traffic originating
from Twitter, Google and social networks. Since every page gets a mobile
version, users get exactly the content they were looking for.

JavaScript, WordPress, Drupal, ExpressionEngine and Apache device detection
plugins are provided.

For more information, take the tour below:








Although Mobify is barely a year old, its success speak for itself with many
leading websites in the web development industry adopting Mobify's technology.
Check out some of them below:






Here are some testimonials from well known webmasters:

> “Extremely impressed with how easy it was! The entire process has been
> incredibly enjoyable and I have already begun recommending Mobify to my
> friends and colleagues.” Matt Bango, The New York Times.

> "It looks sharp and still feels very light. Everything fits perfectly on the
> iPhone's screen, and it feels very true to the original. It's brilliant!" -
> Veerle Pieters, Duoh.com



> "OH MY HEAVENS TO GOD, IT'S FREAKIN' GORGEOUS. And works perfectly. And it's
> so damn smart! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" - Jeffrey Zeldman,
> AListApart.com

> It was really easy to set up the mobile version of JustCreativeDesign through
> Mobify's dashboard... the interface behind the scenes of Mobify is quite easy
> to use and I had the mobile version customized within 20 minutes of signing in
> to their site. - Jacob Cass, JustCreativeDesign

> 

I worked extensively to customize everything for the best possible results.

A very special thanks to the Mobify team: Igor Faletski, Nick Foster, John
Boxall and Peter McLachlan. Thanks guys for helping us out to deliver WDD in the
best possible way to our mobile users!

To check out the mobile version, simply point your mobile phone 's browser to
www.webdesignerdepot.com and it will redirect you automatically, or you can
enter the mobile version directly by going to m.webdesignerdepot.com on your
phone.

I highly recommend Mobify's service to port any of your websites to the mobile
world, I couldn't be happier and I'm sure it will do the same for your sites.
