Having one website that does it all is the essence of today’s digital marketing, SEO and SEM. A big population of the world surfs the internet through their mobile phones and tablets. This makes it even more vital to concurrently entertain users of different platforms.
So how can you reach out to those users without spending pretty pennies on programmers and developers?
The answer is simple – ‘a website creator’.
These website creators can be simple, easy and fun. But there are more reasons to try them out. Creators like GoDaddy, Wix and Glu7 also let you optimize your sites for smartphones as well as tablets.
While Wix lets you create sites on both platforms, there is one thing I found out that was better on Glu7 – it’s that the site you create on Glu7 does not need to be optimized separately for mobile platforms, i.e. it is automatically optimized for them.
Here is a short tutorial on how to create mobile-ready sites using Glu7.
Just sign in on Glu7.com, go to the dashboard and start creating your site. The interface runs on the idea of drag-and-drop so the learning curve isn’t that steep. You can edit the elements using the editors provided as well as remove objects with simple clicks.
Done creating? Good! Now onto the next step. Click on the tiny mobile icon on the top-left corner. This will change the preview of the site to mobile mode, allowing you to see how the site looks real-time in a smartphone. As you will see, the site will not need a major overhaul. Pretty much everything will already be set for a mobile surfer. You can also switch to tablet and laptop modes to see how the site looks for a tablet or a laptop user that lands on your site.
With everything in place, you are now ready to publish the website. First, click on the save button near the icons of the platforms. Now click on publish now button.
Congratulations! Your mobile-friendly site is now live.
