Piano Covers Online Goes Mobile – Mobile Plugin & Theme for our Blog so that you can view us on your iPhone, iTouch, Android, Storm or Pre!
More than just a plugin, WPtouch is an entire theme package for your WordPress website. Modeled after Apple’s app store design specs, WPtouch makes your WordPress website load lightning fast on touch mobile devices, show your content beautifully, all while not interfering with your regular theme.
WPtouch automatically transforms your WordPress blog into a web-application experience when viewed from an iPhone, iPod touch or Android touch mobile device. It comes complete with all the standard WordPress blog features: search, login, categories, tags, archives, photos & more. WPtouch also offers many customization features through a beautifully designed WordPress admin panel.
I thought the iPhone/iPod touch/Android shows my
website just fine the way it is now?
Not all websites are created equal, with some sites failing to translate well in the viewport of a small mobile device. Many WordPress sites today make heavy use of different javascripts which significantly increase the load time of pages, and drive your visitors on 3G/EDGE batty. So enter the WPtouch, a lightweight, fast-loading, feature-rich and highly-customized “theme application” which includes an admin interface to let you customize many aspects of your site’s presentation.
Well, what if my users don’t like it & want to see my regular site?
There’s an option in the footer with WPtouch for your users to easily switch between the WPtouch view and your site’s regular appearance, with the choice saving a cookie for future visits— it’s that easy. We even automatically put a little snippet of code for the switch link into your current theme which will be shown only to mobile visitors, giving them control to choose between the two site views easily.
Will it slow down my blog?
Not bloody likely! Unless of course you’re getting slammed with all sorts of traffic because you’ve installed this sexy thang. The theme package for WPtouch is small (700KB or so). It was designed to be as lightweight and speedy as possible, while still serving your site’s content in a richly presented way sparing no essential features like search, login, categories, tags and comments.
