Development of mobile websites is now the trend in building websites. That is 4 times more mobile phone users in the world as there are computers with Internet access at the same time made it mandatory for any company to develop mobile web top priority, including the biggest names in the world as Google.

With that said, let's keep in mind that most users Mobile phones.This not have access to smart means that your website may not be visible to the vast majority of mobile users if they do not develop their web website to suit your devices.

In this article I will focus on using WordPress to build mobile websites environment. WordPress is a platform free content management. You can download from WordPress.org and install on your server. It gets even easier now, because most hosting are option to install WordPress with a click of a button.

With WordPress you usually build your website as with computer users in mind. The difference are you going to install some plugins to make your website mobile friendly.

Here are the steps you can follow the instructions until you finish your development of mobile websites that use WordPress:

1. Installing WordPress. As mentioned above, you can download from WordPress.org, unzip, edit the file wp-config-sample.php following the instructions in the readme.txt file that comes with it, and upload to your server with an FTP software like FileZilla, or if a hose company has the option may automatically install on your server.

2. Log in to your WordPress dashboard and click on "plugins" side menu. In the new plugin menu click "add new" and search for "Wordpress PDA and iPhone." Installed and enabled.

3. Repeat step 2 again and search for "iPhone theme switcher" plug in to install and activate it.

These supplements are not just for iPhone.They are the only plug-ins I tested, which together made my website visible in all types of mobile phones with small screens and don not fall into the category smartphones. Detect if your site is being read by a mobile phone or computer and change the themes accordingly.
