Delivering Your Website On A Mobile Phone

More and more people are carrying mobile phones that are capable of surfing the Internet. Therefore, it is becoming much more important for you to have a way to deliver your business website content to these people on their mobile phones.

This is surprisingly easy to do with Joomla, and this demonstrates the power of using a world class content management system like Joomla to deliver your business website.

The following article outlines both the technical and functional steps required to mobile-enable your Joomla powered business website:

For an example of a mobile powered business website built by ROARZ, just open the following website on your phone:

http://www.businessacumen.net.au

The "trick" to making this work is for the website to automatically detect that you are using a mobile phone to access the website, and then automatically change the template (formatting) to suit the smaller screen on your mobile phone. This mobile template usually removes headers, footers, and side modules so that you are left with just the critical information from the middle of the website on your phone. This template can be programmed to deliver menus and other navigation tools to match the mobile phone specifically. The website also knows that you are visiting via a phone and can direct you to content that is written specifically for mobile users. This might include forms and other interactive features that have been specifically designed for use on a phone.

If delivering content literally into hands of your customers is useful capability for your business, then definitely look into this capability further!
