Dedicated Mobile Website Templates

A dedicated mobile website template is the traditional way we have provided backward compatibility for all our desktop website templates to offer your customers a better mobile experience. The mobile template uses the same navigational sitemap, and same content as your desktop website. However, we trimmed off all the unnecessary clutter to ensure your customers could quickly get to the information they want. For example, navigate to your contact details, view a map link, or view your products and make a purchase easily on their small screens. Over time we have added banners, logos and auto matched the colours to your desktop template. With fine tuning to your dedicated mobile template design, your customers will have an awesome experience, as this method is the最速のオプション for customers using slow rural mobile connections. Dedicated mobile templates are usually 3 times faster to load than a responsive template, and 10 times faster than the average WordPress template.

Responsive Mobile Website Templates

Responsive templates are a popular approach in the web design industry, because not every CMS can provide a dedicated mobile template option. Responsive design means that the template has been specially crafted to change shape in different browser widths. Responsive templates can be difficult for users to edit themselves, as each element needs to be especially crafted. For example, menus might be condensed, or relocated off page, and pulled in when needed. Responsive websites tend to be slower to download on mobile devices, as the mobile device needs to download all the styles/themes that are used in the desktop version, even if not used in the mobile version. Some web designers focus on making great looking templates, but they forget about these download speed issues. If your website is tourist oriented, your customers may be out and about on the edges of mobile phone coverage, and they might have trouble downloading all the additional JavaScript and CSS libraries that are not required for the mobile experience. Responsive templates are often slow to download, but we have been working hard to make our new responsive templates as fast as they can be, and our responsive templates will render about 3 times faster than the average WordPress theme. Our responsive websites can be customised with different colours, fonts, and images.  

完全に独立したモバイルウェブサイト

Having a whole website crafted just for mobile might give a really good mobile experience at first, but more often than not, the webmaster forgets to maintain it (or cannot maintain it) , and the information become out of sync in each website. If you are running an online shopping site, you really need to have both your mobile experience and your desktop experience powered by the same shopping cart engine. We advise our customers not to use this approach. 

How to Convert Your Existing Website to A Responsive Template

We have lots of different responsive templates that you can choose from. We are updating more all the time. When you change to a responsive template, it will update both your desktop and mobile layouts. 

1. In the CMS, go to the DESIGN tab
2. テーマの変更を選択
3. すべてのテーマをご覧になり、「レスポンシブ」または「モバイル」ボタンに注目してください。このボタンをクリックすると、どちらのモードでもテーマをプレビューできます。レスポンシブボタンがあるテーマのみがレスポンシブテンプレートです。
4. 続行するにはテーマを選択してください。
5. Untick the boxes for changing banner, logo, background and colours, if you want to keep your existing brand elements the same. 
6. 万が一問題が発生した場合に備えて、古いデザイン設定をバックアップするには、ボックスにチェックを入れてください。
7. テーマの変更を保存します。
8. テーマ変更後にウェブサイトをプレビューすると、ブラウザのキャッシュ設定により正しく表示されない場合があります。ウェブサイトが正しく表示されるようにするには、「公開」してブラウザのキャッシュをクリアする必要があるかもしれません。
9. Sometimes you may need to reapply your colour settings for menus etc, as some templates provide the default colours, and others don't, or perhaps your colour combinations are not immediately compatible with the template, and may need some fine adjusting.

CSS を微調整してモバイル レスポンシブにする

If you are technically minded, you might like to just hack your existing template into CSS responsive mode without breaking everything else that has been especially crafted. 

スタイルシート内で、最大寸法が 600 ピクセル、750 ピクセル、または 900 ピクセルの行を探します。

#container { width: 750px; margin: 0 auto; }

そして、これを次のように変更すると、画面幅の 90% が最大 960 まで満たされます。

#container { width: 90%; max-width: 960px;  margin: 5% auto; }

次に、列を探し、幅または余白を固定幅から%幅に変更します。ただし、画面幅がサポートしている場合のみ、これらの幅を適用します。画面幅が600px未満の場合、列はブラウザの幅いっぱいに重ねて表示されます。

@media (最小幅: 600px) { .leftColumn { 幅: 20%; フロート: 左; }
