mobiEnthusiast Breaks Down a NonMobile Site for an End User

[coast]

Since the podcast and exposure on The Marketing Spot, I have started getting requests from end users on what to do to make their sites mobile web friendly. Here is an excerpt from the advice I gave to the owner of http://aie.org:

"Today on Twitter I got a message from Web_Guy who asked a question that is on a lot of mobi Enthusiast readers’ minds: “I have a site that is NOT mobile friendly and I want it to be - suggestions?”
The Challenge of Making a Computer Website Mobile-Friendly
To answer your question, let’s look at some of the reasons the site is not mobile friendly, and in the process you’ll want to do the opposite to get the ball rolling. Thanks to Jay Ehret’s mobile web podcast we have a number of small business owners and marketing people joining us, so I will keep this as non-techie as I can...."

Excellent piece of work, Holly.

I think that is something long overlooked...instead of telling someone what it should look like, start with a conversion tool like this mURL.mobi and go from there. Let the see what it has the potential to be.

Gerry, I'm glad you saw it. Unfortunately the site owner and I did not have clear communication (Twitter is only 140 characters each) and he did not want his site on the internet in that manner so I deleted the post.

If anyone has a .com that I could use to plug in to that space, please let me know. Otherwise it's a blank post :(

It was a good one, too!
