Mobile Web Sites Fast — mobiSiteGalore Creates

Online site builder makes creating .mobi-compliant web sites easy.

Any premium .mobi domain name owners worried regarding creating their .mobi web sites by the compliance deadline need not worry — they can make them in regarding 10 minutes with a free online tool.

I initially didn’t pay much attention to mobiSiteGalore, an online web site builder that builds mobi compliant web sites. But this stretch I saw an notice that it now lets you create mobile web sites by using your mobile phone. Although that seems like a pain, I decided to check out their main service.

Think of mobiSiteGalore as the old Tripod but for mobile web sites. It makes creating a compliant web site that will work on all mobile phones incredibly easy.

For example, I created Allemann.mobi in less than 15 minutes from start to finish:

1. Registered Allemann.mobi at Moniker for $7.49*
2. Provisioned hosting*
2. Created account at mobiSiteGalore
3. Selected page types I wanted on the site
4. Inserted text and photos in WYSIWYG editor
5. Provided FTP information
6. Clicked submit

*You also can host the site as a subdomain on a shared service, skipping the first two steps.

That’s really it. The site looks pretty good, too. Since Allemann.mobi is just a simple personal site, I didn’t use a lot of the powerful features in the system, counting the ability to add Google News headlines, Google Adsense, and various payment services. I did include a simple contact form.

mobiSiteGalore is free, but your web site will have a message at the bottom that reads “Like this website? Get one FREE at mobiSiteGalore.com”. Hopefully the service will offer a pay option to remove the advertisement.

If you have some .mobi domains sitting around, or have considered mobile site development, I recommend taking a look. Check out Allemann.mobi on your mobile phone for a simple example.
