Mobile sites have been around for a while, however with the advent of the iPhone one can only expect more and more sites designed specifically with mobile devices in mind.
Enter bigfishtackle.mobi – A custom Gossamer Forum installation that is optimized for mobile devices. All unnecessary content has been stripped to ensure fast loading times on low-bandwidth connections. Read on to see how we did it!
Here’s a sneak preview of what we’re working on in the Gossamer labs – Google Base integration!
Not your Grandmother’s Links indexing engine
Steve Elmore Indian Art, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, features a gorgeous array of antique Native American artwork. Their website is an excellent example of how Gossamer Links can be used as a Content Management System (CMS). This particular installation has been modified to showcase images instead of links or text, and to provide the framework for an entire site, from Home Page down. While the overall look and feel of the site differs significantly from a more standard installation of Gossamer Links, the modifications necessary to build the site were deceptively simple.
Gossamer Forum is one of the most popular products in our lineup and as with most of our products; it can also be modified to handle more tailored solutions.
Every now and then we’d like to bring attention to a Gossamer product being used in a unique and novel way. BaseJumper.com uses a Gossamer Links installation with a few plugins to create their very own video gallery, allowing members to upload and share their thrilling base jumping experiences.
