One of the most common questions we get from our Joomla training students now is: "how do I make my Joomla site ready for mobile phones?"
There are two different ways to do this and the choice depends largely on whether you have a template or not.
- Template Frameworks. If you're looking for a template, choose one of the designers whose templates automatically adjust for mobile browsers. Click to visit this section.
- Template plus plugin: If you already have a template, there are systems that will provide both the mobile template and a plugin to detect when someone is visiting from a mobile phone. Click to visit this section.
Here is a guide to the different ways to make your site mobile and at the end we'll show you how to manage and update your site from your phone.
