mobile-friendly and get to grips with the two hottest trends in web design Mobile
and WordPress<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Preface<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">WordPress is fast becoming the
world’s most popular website for Content Management System(CMS)—it now powers
22 percent of new domains in the USA. WordPress has a comparatively quick
learning curve and with the use of plugins and custom code, can be made to run
just about any website, no matter how complex is the functionality needed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As more and more of us use
devices such as smartphones and tablets to browse the Web instead of a desktop
computer, the need for websites to be fast and user-friendly on those devices
is getting more important. Mobile development is very hot in web design circles
right now, with constant advances in techniques such as a responsive design and
mobile-first content strategy ensuring that websites not only look good on mobile
devices, but also give users the content and the experience they want.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you’re one among the millions
of people who own or manage a WordPress site, you’re probably already thinking
about making it mobile-friendly. If you’re a WordPress developer, you may have
been asked to develop a mobile-friendly site by a client, or possibly you’re considering
it for your own site.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we will see in this book,
there are a number of ways to do this, ranging from the quick and dirty to the
complex and potentially beautiful. By using a plugin, you can quickly make your
site easier to read and interact with on mobile devices, or you can go further,
harnessing the combined power of PHP, CSS, and relevant APIs to create a web
app—a website that looks and behaves like a native app.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This book will take you through
the process of making a self-hosted WordPress site (as opposed to a
wordpress.comsite) mobile-friendly. We will be working with the site for Carborelli’s,
a fictitious ice cream parlor using its website to advertise its store and sell
ice cream online. You’ll learn a variety of ways to make this site look and
perform better on mobile devices, and we’ll work up to mobile e-commerce and
finally, using WordPress to create a web app for Carborelli’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This book focuses on mobile
development, so it’s worth identifying exactly what we mean when referring to
different devices. The following are the definitions of some of the devices we
will be using:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: -18pt;">1. </span><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: -18pt;">Smartphones: They include iPhones, Android phones, Windows Phone
7, Blackberry, and any phone with a browser capable of accessing websites and
displaying them in the same way as a desktop browser would. These are the
phones we will be targeting in this book.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: -18pt;">2. </span><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: -18pt;">Feature phones: These are the phones, which include some
advanced features, in addition to making phone calls, but do not have the
advanced capabilities of smartphones and do not include a fully-featured
browser. We will not be targeting them in this book, except for in Chapter 1,
Using Plugins to Make Your Site Mobile-friendly, with mobile plugins.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: -18pt;">3. </span><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: -18pt;">Mobile devices: Mobile devices, as referred to in this book,
include smartphones and small personal devices running a mobile operating
system, for example, the iPod Touch, but not tablets.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: -18pt;">4. </span><span style="font-size: large; text-indent: -18pt;">Tablets: These are the devices with a larger display than mobile
devices, but they use a mobile operating system. These include the iPad,
Samsung Galaxy Tab, Blackberry Playbook, and Kindle Fire. We will focus on the
iPad in this book, as it is by far the most widely used tablet device.</span></li>

take you through setting up the Carborelli’s site so that its navigation
differs on mobile devices and makes it easier for visitors to get to what they

information depending on what kind of device they’re using.</span></li>
