Every single mobile device is detected and all aspects of your blog are tailored to the visiting handset. Sites aren't dumbed down to the lowest common denominator but instead use the features and functionality that advanced phones offer. Devices are detected by using Wapple's advanced web services instead of relying on inferior 3rd party tools. If you view your blog with a brand new, never before seen handset, it'll still work perfectly! Any theme you've installed and have styled for web will be carried across to mobile giving you a consistent look and feel for each and every one of your visitors. **Why it's different to other plugins:** * Other mobile plugins for WordPress use a default mobile style which results in an inconsistent experience for your users, Wapple Architect Mobile plugin for WordPress retains the styling of your site from web to mobile. * There's no redirection to a mobile version of the blog - URLs are exactly the same on web and mobile giving you the ability to promote and use one single domain! * No transcoding happens here - the mobile version is written in WAPL (an advanced mobile markup language) that results in a completely tailored solution perfect for your mobile visitors. * Other plugins try to replicate every single feature and plugin you've installed onto the mobile version. We know what mobile users want and have written this plugin with that in mind - the result is a far better user experience. **Features** * Dynamic resizing of images * Retain SEO, preserve your URL structure and promote one single domain * Support for multi-lingual characters - even funny characters that make their way onto your blog (from a copy and paste from Word for example) are handled. * Comment from mobile! Turn on the feature and your visitors can leave comments from their handset. * Upload mobile specific header/footer images - resized on the fly to fit a visitors handset perfectly * Place mobile friendly navigation links around your site to help users browse around your blog * Advanced pagination - split up long posts into manageable chunks that make reading a post on mobile easier * Any theme that you've installed will have its styles carried across to mobile giving you a consistent look and feel for all your visitors. * Complete freedom over how you want to style your mobile site.
