Are you using WordPress.org and looking for ways to enhance the user experience and your online visibility and digital success?

Then you are probably like me and spend time searching out WordPress.org plugins to use.

NOTE: Don’t worry if your business is not powered by WordPress.org, as I have another low cost effective solution for you if you are a small or medium sized business without a budget to develop a new mobile friendly website.

This week there was a great reminder of the importance of making your website accessible to mobile browsers with the results from comScore research which stated that across France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK the number of smartphone users accessing online retail sites has increased by 80 percent over the past year.

I had been using a terrific plugin to make this site accessible, however with a recent release of the plugin, it was no longer working on my site as there was a conflict with other plugins.

The alternative mobile plugin I had enabled was just not user friendly, so I thought it was about time to do some online research to find some alternatives.

I have not been able to check my blog on an Android phone just yet, but what became clear to me in my testing is that what looks great on one phone just doesn’t on another – even when the plugin is mean to be compatible with multiple phones.

So my recommendation is to checkout the 5 free resources that are detailed below to make your WordPress.org website or business blog mobile friendly.

And I have also listed some bonus resources for you – yes I have also listed 13 additional WordPress.org plugins that are worth exploring so that you:

• rank better in the search engines
• improve the search experience of your visitors
• build visibility on Facebook through adding the Facebook Comments facility
• get value from your past content through automating the Tweeting of past articles
• enable your visitors to share your content to their social networks which in turn can bring you a flood of inbound traffic
• can add a customised Google +1 button to your articles
• encourage people to follow you on Google Plus by adding a button to sidebar to enable people to follow you on Google Plus.

WHAT IF MY WEBSITE IS NOT BUILT ON WORDPRESS.ORG?

Don’t worry – a resource that I recommend if you are a small or medium sized business that will enable you to quickly create a mobile version of your website with the key elements that your customers and prospects want to access on their mobile phone is GoMobi.

They work with partners, but for example you can test the service for a 30 day free trial after which if you use Name.com for the service the fee is currently just US$5.99 a month or US$49.99 for the year.
