Magento Mobile Theme – The best solution

Magento Mobile Theme is one of urgent problems what all of magento shop owners have to consider the solution for it  as soon as possible. Now a day, the potential customers are moving from desktop/laptop to mobile device day by day and it just keep increase until now with iPhone, Android phone, Windows mobile phone, iPad, Tablet …. A big question  is: what is the best solution for magento shop to serve the mobile customers?

Belong to many factors you will get the best solution for you base on what you are having and what type of your customers. Choose one of these solutions for your magento shop:

1. Magento Mobile theme for brand new magento site.

Since you are building a brand new magento website then you have a free hand to decide what to do with magento site to serve magento mobile customers. In this case, the best solution for you is magento responsive theme design. In a very simple word, we can explain that the responsive design is a design what ‘s scalable automatically with the browser screen resolution. That ‘s mean, if your customers visit your website in any screen resolution by desktop or mobile device, they always see a good design display on their device. In this case, the magento desktop theme is also a magento mobile theme.

You can try to take a look at one of a very good magento mobile theme design: http://s.magento2x.com/themeforestmaxshop

Almost people ‘ll realize that we have 2 ways to approach to the magento responsive theme design:

2. Magento Mobile Theme for old magento shop.

The problem is not all of us can build all of functionality for magento shop from beginning so that we can’t have free hand to decide to change all of our current magento design. We want to keep the old design and functionality, but we want to to serve the mobile customers well. We can’t just install a brand new responsive design what we will lose the old design.  What we need is when customers visit our magento shop by mobile device, it can be detected and serve with the right mobile design. In this case it is not responsive design, it is just an middle adapter what detect and serve the right UI by magento mobile theme.

The idea for this way is quite easy, we have 2 magento themes, one for desktop and one for mobile. We set up from back end of magento so it will show magento mobile theme for mobile device and desktop theme for others.

Again for this solution we have 2 options:

MobileNowApp is just a magento extension what will give you a chance to design your magento mobile theme in back end then it will serve exactly what you designed when people visit your magento site by mobile device. It ‘s very flexible and easy to use. You are free to try to use and it take you a small money monthly. In the case you still not know how much money you can get back from mobile customers, this will be a perfect choice, you can try and pay for some months to check if your customers from mobile device are willing pay enough for you, or you can cancel the service any time you need.  If this solution is not enough money then other solutions will just make you losing money on mobile moving.

3. Magento Mobile theme with native mobile app.

This is not really a magento mobile theme but it is a native mobile app. You will need to build yourself a native mobile application then publish to appstore/google play or somehow your customers can install it to their mobile phone.

This solution will take you a lot of time and money to have very good app and then take you a lot of time and money to make it popular, so that if you don’t really need I highly recommend you don’t use this app. But still there are some business like deal, coupon … or business what need to remind their customers daily then the native mobile app is a perfect solution.

Even though you tried to avoid to build native mobile app, but your business require it then how to make your mobile app have the best quality, save time and money?

I believe people have many service out there but the official magento service will have the best quality. This way, you will use magento back end to design the magento shop UI include logo, color, product, categories, checkout, contact …. and submit it to magento, they will submit it to appstore/google play for you (of course you have to pay). The way to get your native magento mobile app up and running is very simple. You just need to follow these steps:

Step1: Login to magento back end and click menu Mobile -> Manage Apps.

Step 2: Add new mobile app by click Add app.

Step 3: Design your mobile app as you want with content, product, logo, icon, page, check out, payment and save it.

After you save it successfully then you are almost done to get app ready. All of things you need to do now is make payment to magento and they will publish app for you. I think almost of you guys will know how to do until this step or please contact us for more detail.
