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!

What is .mobi?

.mobi is a relatively new domain name that promises optimized content for mobile devices. Any site with a .mobi domain will be 100% compatible with a mobile platform, guaranteeing viewers a pleasant surfing experience in their smaller screened devices.

Make it Mobile

Gossamer Forum was used to build the backend of this forum, but to make it accessible to mobile devices, a simple and stripped template was used to style the site. Users can get tips or post up prime locations for fishing, whenever and wherever they are.

Streamlining Usage

Navigating on a mobile platform can be an arduous task. We made sure that users had -the most pleasant experience while surfing bigfishtackle.mobi by integrating the user sign-in right into the forum’s reply and post pages.

Removing one page to load can significantly help in reducing bandwidth costs and increasing speed!
