More and more people are riding the mobile wave! Mobile websites are popping up by the minute and it’s entirely up to you to make your mobile site stand out. Here are some helpful tips to make your mobile site stand out from the rest.
Play with Colour. Some mobile site builders offer their members extensive color palettes where users can experiment with various color schemes when it comes to the color scheme of their mobile sites. Let the colors of your WAP site reflect your personality!
Are you the extrovert type? Let your inner party animal shine by wearing bold colors like red, aqua and emerald green. Combine them with even more outrageous shades like orange, purple and gold! If your tastes lean more towards the classic, choose discreet pastel shades to bring out that touch of elegance. The idea here is to build a mobile website that talks about YOU!
Create a visual experience. Make your mobile website highly visual by using text wrapping tools that allow you to insert photos and wrap text around these images. Images help attract more visitors because they add flavor to your site.
In the photography? Why not create a mobile portfolio with your best photos? Add short descriptions for your photos to make them more interesting and personal. Post scanned versions of your artwork and show off that inner Picasso!
One word: INTERACTIVE. Keep your viewers engaged! Open your mobile website to receive comments, reviews and suggestions. Not only will it help point out areas for improvement on your mobile site, it will also help make connections with your visitors.
Create a guestbook and encourage your friends and potential dates to leave you messages. If you’re building a mobile website for business purposes, one way to generate new leads is through the guestbook. Encourage visitors to leave you contact details and requests.
Mobile site builders also have tools that will keep their viewers engaged: SURVEYS. Create polls! It could be a survey to help you discover the latest consumer trends or it could be one for purely entertainment purposes!
Sample survey question: Which do you prefer? Pirates or Ninjas? Silly questions like that. The point is, keep your viewers engaged!
Work around a theme when it comes to content. The most interesting mobile websites (or regular websites) are usually the ones that are creative when it comes to content. Work around your interests.
Do you have a passion for fashion? Create a winter style mobile! Upload the latest in style and fashion. Post the latest news about this year’s fashion icons. Create polls and predict what the next fashion trend will be!
Are you the next Chris Rock/Will Ferrell/Jim Carrey? Post your funniest homemade jokes, videos and photos on your mobile website. Your viewers will definitely laugh at that!

The possibilities are endless!
