You can easily create a mobile optimized store for smartphone shoppers. This is a fantastic opportunity. Half the adults in the U.S. have a smartphone and shopping from these devices soared in 2012 and is expected to continue to rise. More than 50% of your visitors will be using a mobile phone. According to a survey conducted by Nielsen in Q1 2012, the vast majority (79%) of US smartphone and tablet owners have used their mobile devices for shopping-related activities. Also, Google has recently announced that web sites that aren’t mobile-friendly will be demoted or deleted from mobile search results in the future.

How do we set this up so Google views our store as a mobile-friendly store?

Have you looked at the store on a mobile device? The templates are automatically set to make the site mobile. If this is not the case then let us know and we will take a look.

Mobile sites can be customized separately from the main site.

Thanks

Are there any additional charges to optimize for mobile devise either initially or monthly?

If you are referring to the mobile site for the Bigcommerce stores, "no", it's part of the package. There's no extra cost.

At the bottom of the Websites manager tab on the Create Mobile Site tab. The site must have a domain name.

It does go to a site you built on Homestead, but to make the site mobile friendly you would need to utilize our Dudamobile partnership.

Do you see your site coming up on a computer? If so, you can create a mobiles site.

Did you sign up through the link above or did you go straight to Dudamobile?

You may need to get the redirect code from your Duda account and place it in the head tag. It doesn't look like this site made a connection.

2015-11-16T22:58:02+00:00

no - don't want that javascript or redirect

That is how Dudamobile works. It detects a mobile browser and redirects it. Without the code there is no redirect to the mobile site.

Good morning -
I appreciate all your help -
Can someone look into this?
I would like to know if you can give me the link from Homestead to duda so there is no charge or let me know please if this is no longer going to be an option
thanks so much

The link via your account gives you a free option up to 10 pages. It also creates the redirect automatically. It does not appear as though the cat site connected via your Homestead account as you should have a link under the edit site button that says Manage Mobile site.

If you got set up with the premium package the you'll need to contact Dudamobile to change that. They bill separately for a premium account.

i didn't sign up with them for premium
maybe my site is more than 10 pages -
that's a bummer - wish I had known

it isn't working for another site either - no link to duda from you guys
does homestead still have a deal with them or no?
what plans do you have to implement your own mobile conversion of sites I build if your duda deal is not working
thanks very much
