Showcase Saturday: WordPress Mobile Theme

Published on Apr 10, 2010   //  Showcase Saturday

More and more people are accessing the Internet from their BlackBerry devices, Android smartphones, Apple iPhones, and similar gadgets these days, so it pays to have a mobile version of your blog set up to best address this growing demographic. A full site does not always render well in the smaller confines of a smartphone and many people may not appreciate the heavier bandwidth requirements too.

There are several mobile themes available for WordPress, but many of these can be quite bland, boring, and generic. Aiming to buck the trend a little is the aptly named WordPress Mobile Theme. Whereas many mobile themes offer very little in terms of customization, this theme lets you choose your own color schemes, insert smaller thumbnail images, and define your own theme widths.

Just like “full” themes, the width of the WordPress Mobile Theme can be defined in pixels or in percentage, further allowing you to customize the user experience that people get when they land on your site from a mobile device. The lightweight nature of the theme makes for faster loading too.
