7 Free Mobile Website Tools

Ready to go mobile? Not quite sure, but want to try a mobile site to see what happens? These free mobile website tools will give you a chance to test and play around with them.

Zinadoo


One of the most recommended tools I've come across on my travels is Zinadoo. Not only can you create mobile versions of your website, but you can create entirely fresh mobile websites and share them with others. Zinadoo also has a whole bunch of added featureswor for SEO, site promotion, and more.

mobiSiteGalore


Another create-your-own mobile website tool that comes highly recommended to me is mobiSiteGalore. With these guys, you can create a 3-page site for free, or create larger mobile sites for virtually any mobile device for an annual fee. They have fully compliant code and advanced device detection, which should eliminate a majority of the hassles for non-code monkeys who aren't as proficient with code as they could be. They'll host it, give you the option of using your own domain name or using a free one, offer private & white label services, and pretty much take care of it all.

WPtouch


If you love WordPress and need a quick and simple mobile version of your site, WordPress.org has a number of plugins to help you along the way. One of the most popular is WPtouch. The plugin provides you with a customizable mobile theme that works with a large number of smartphones and mobile devices. This is great for site owners who want to offer a mobile version, but don't want to modify the code for their existing WP site. (Image courtesy of WPtouch.)

Drupal Mobile Tools


Not to be outdone, Drupal also offers an extension for site owners looking to go mobile. Called Mobile Tools, this extension takes care of all the usually hassles that come with creating a mobile version of your site, including device detection, theme switching, set permissions, and more.

Mippin Mobilizer


Instead of playing with a mobile website, you might want to consider an app instead. Mippin (Now App Factory) makes it pretty darn easy to create fully-functioning apps with tons of features and options. You might actually prefer this option, if most of your mobile visitors use smartphones, simply because it gives you the ability to provided added functionality and ease of use.
