Mobile Website Development Made Absurdly Easy with WordPress

In yet another example of the gloriousness of WordPress, you can skip custom mobile website development and just install a WP plugin and you’re done in 2 minutes. Yes I know that gloriousness isn’t a word, yet somehow it’s the only one that accurately captures the beauty of it.

I selected the WordPress Mobile Pack plugin, which has very nice features, including:

• A Mobile Switcher
• Custom Color Variations
• Standards Adherance
• Device Adaptation
• An Admin Panel
• Mobile Analytics

And more!

The best part is that all you need to do is install and activate the plugin and you’re good to go.  Full gloriousness!  Nothing could be easier, except maybe finding car insurance using Coverhound.

Of course, there are a few limitations.  The pre-packaged theme may not work for everyone. E-commerce and accounts are probably an issue.  That said, WordPress continues to mature into a multi-channel publishing engine and full service content management system, and the mobile plugins are yet another reflection of that.
