Just wondering if anyone has tried any of the mobile website builders out there. I'm searching for one that meets these criteria:

• easy to use
• free or cheap flat fee (not a monthly fee)
• no advertisements
• compatible with the majority of mobile phones
• good customer support

Sometimes I'll need to CREATE a mobile website for clients that don't have a regular company website of their own, and other times I'll need to make a mobile version of a client's existing website.

If anyone has knowledge/experience with this, I'd appreciate if you could tell me which one(s) you've used and how you like them.

Also, has anyone tried Bing Business Portal? I see they offer free mobile sites AND free QR codes.

It looks like no one has responded to you but I would be interested if anyone knows how best to build a mobile site.
I did build a website using an iThemes template for Wordpress and they included a Plugin or something to build it as a mobile site.
Regarding the QR codes, I thought I had read that you can get them free anyway so I don't know if you have to get that from any specific place.

QR Codes are free (I'm in the middle of writing a post on them) and this a popular site to generate them (http://qrcode.kaywa.com/). I'm not sure what CMS you are using but WordPress has quite a few plugins you can use that will help your site be mobile friendly.

Hi LaTosha,

I wrote several posts on QR codes here and ran a QR code contest. I made a as well which included the use of Kaywa.com.

The was one issue that I questioned about Kayway. At the time, due to time constraints I wasn't able to assure myself while awaiting a response from Kaywa suupport, was a questionable statement on the page indicating, "Non-Commercial Use Only". I wasn't sure if that mean that users could only use Kaywa for non-commercial or if the actual Kaywa site was 'non-commercial'. If the latter was true, there were ads all over the page so I just thought then 'non-commercial' meant for the users themselves.

I was using SocialQRCodes for most of the tutorial so I didn't make a big deal about using Kaywa in the video.

But I am really looking forward to hearing what you have to say about Kaywa because it was an easy site to use and it had some nice options for creating codes. I really liked the phone number option and text message up to 240 characters, which was rather nice.

Zippy, there is a WordPress plug that I use called WP Mobile Pack. Here's the page for that.

Here is a great article on 3 good mobile WP plugins.

I know I'm really late in the conversation here but as mentioned earlier there is an iThemes plugin for WordPress sites called PluginBuddy-Mobile.

It works good and it can be customized but obviously you do need WordPress for it to work. That one is a paid plugin but there are other WordPress mobile plugins that are free, too.

If you have a wordpress site, most people us the free plugin called WPTouch and there are other ones out there. WPTouch is the more popular one.

As for the QR codes, there are a lot of free QR codes generator. Just google it and you will see a bunch of them. If you have a Google place page, they generate one for your coupon too.
