Create a mobile content management website in 10 minutes

Written by Adrian Fitchet
mobileLooking to extend your website with a mobile site? Have an existing Joomla website?

There is a simple and free solution to add this functionality to your website. Firstly, a few advantages and benefits of implementing a mobile website
  • Improved discoverability of your business
  • Advantage over competitors
  • Extended reach to new customers
  • The ability to better engage customers, 24/7
  • More users are accessing the mobile web each day
  • There are an estimated 2 billion mobile devices wordwide
There is a simple and easy solution to extend your website with a great component from the team at http://www.mobilejoomla.com. The component is relatively easy to install. To setup the mobile site is almost just as simple. Activate the component (through the Kuneri plugin) and configure your new mobile site with all the various settings available. Lastly, configure the various Kuneri modules to make use of the menus you wish to use in your mobile web site.

So what is great about this component?
  • Simple installation
  • Advanced settings and customisations
  • Widest range of mobile phone support – this is a great feature of this product so that your mobile site can reach more users. Supporting iPhones, smartphones, wap phones etc.
  • Custom modules and themes
How does the component work?

Once activated and configured correctly the Kuneri plugin detects the device / browser accessing your website. Be it a desktop computer or a mobile browser the plugin will direct the visitor to an appropriately formatted webpage for their browser. This is done by having a template for mobile and desktop browsers. The beauty of this is that one can have a unique look and feel (template) for the different browsers.

The mobile website can now display the same articles and content as your main Joomla website, thus making it no problem to update and maintain 2 sites. Now the basic installation has a generic template for your mobile site. One can customize the template to have a similar look and feel for their website. This does however require some HTML and Joomla template knowledge to achieve this.

In Summary

This is a great and simple away to enhance your online presence. It's quick and easy (should you not need to customize the template).
