Mobile or WAP websites as they are often called are mini websites that have been configured to fit the smaller screens of mobile phones because regular websites made for PC's cannot always be viewed properly on mobile phones and devices. A mobile website is similar in function to a typical website created for PC viewing but is different in that both its size and content layout have been specifically configured to fit the small screen sizes of mobile phones and devices.



Before anyone thought to create mobile website features specifically for mobile internet users, there was a common problem that regular websites would not display properly or at all on the small mobile phone screens and would be very difficult for mobile viewers to maneuver through since they do not have easy access to a large screen, mouse and keyboard as do PC website viewers.

Mobile websites are often called WAP sites. WAP is an acronym that stands for Wireless Application Protocol. This is simply a means of presenting and delivering wireless information to mobile phones and other mobile devices. The basic purpose of WAP is to provide internet access to anyone a mobile phone or mobile device. Mobile websites can be viewed from anywhere in the world if you are using a WAP enabled mobile phone or device.

If you want to create mobile website features of your own, there are several online services that will help you create and customize your own WAP website either for free or at very affordable rates. One of the best services available is from Mobilemo. Using this service, you can create mobile WAP sites with ease even if you don't have any programming skills because they smartly designed the interface and tools to be very intuitive and self-explanatory.

One of best things about being able to create mobile website features through Mobilemo is that they give you many options to customize your site to meet your own personal tastes or particular business needs. Other free mobile sites sometimes provide you with just plain text. With Mobilemo, you can combine text with photos and other images using the text wrapping feature and you can also choose font and color background options. They also provide you with a lot of options for interactivity with your mobile website visitors. You can use interactive mobile site tools like surveys and polls, forms creation tools, a guest book creation tool so visitors can send you their contact information, and a comments tool where you can collect comments from visitors to your site. There is also a nice email alert feature that will inform you anytime someone has submitted feedback to your mobile site.

There are several different account types to choose from at Mobilemo. They have Personal service plans that are made for anyone who wants to create mobile website features for blogging, social networking, file sharing, or just staying up to date with friends and family. The Personal service is available for free or, if you need more features, control settings or storage space, you can pay $5 a year. The Business account is $10 a year and offers enhanced mobile site tools, larger storage space and mobile site settings available at your discretion. A free 15-day trial is also available on the business service plans.
