Mobile Browser-optimised Joomla! Templates from F2
Q. Do you want to optimise and extend the reach of your website to suit mobile devices/smart phones?
Your customers use their smart phones to be connected to everything; communicating with others, searching for information and even QR code-based promotions. So why not make your business more presentable on their mobile device? You can do this now with the Mobile Joomla extension for Joomla! 1.5 and 1.7; a component that transforms your existing Joomla! website on-the-fly to suite a mobile browser-optimised layout.
Mobile Joomla offers these benefits and opportunities to grow your business:
- Gives you a menu-centric view of your website that users can easily browse through on a smaller screen;
- Automatically picks up on the type of smartphone and presents the correct template for each platform (such as iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry, Nokia);
- Perfect for displaying mobile-optimised Quick Response (QR) code landing pages, which lots of merchants are using now-a-days to promote and sell their products. With an easily-obtained QR Reader phone plug-in, users can scan the product's QR code in-store and are immediately redirected to and presented with your phone-specific and mobile-optimised webpage;
- Useful tool for your employees who are on the go (such as salespeople wanting to update their contacts via F2 CRM);
- Provides mobile-optimised shopping carts that allows mobile users to make purchases anywhere at any time.
Q. How do optimise my website for a smart phone?
Through three simple steps that Foote Francis ('F2') helps you perform:
- First, we check your website for content that might cause problems when converting that content to a mobile platform.
- Second, we create specific templates to suit each phone platform. Mobile Joomla supports the iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry, and Nokia platforms.
- We review your entire website, including text, graphics, images, web forms and even shopping cart products with check-out processes, to optimise the style and presentation of the content to suit the smaller mobile display.
All a user has to do to get started is download the application, install it on their Joomla! website and away they go. F2 is, of course, here to provide assistance, as required.
Q. How much is it going to cost me?
