OSMOBI:
helping
people
make
a
better
mobile
web
SIRUNA’s
new
online
service
OSMOBI
mobilizes
desktop
websites
built
with
open
source
Content
Management
Systems
like
Drupal
or
Joomla!
SIRUNA,
a
Belgian
managed
technology
and
solution
provider
for
mobile
internet,
is
proud
to
announce
the
launch
of
their
new
online
service
OSMOBI.
This
tool
enables
Joomla!
&
Drupal
web
developers
to
make
mobile
websites
customized
for
any
device.
The
new
tool
is
perfectly
in
line
with
SIRUNA’s
market
strategy
of
becoming
the
reference
for
mobile
web
technology
in
the
open
source
arena.
Navigating
the
web
on
mobile
devices
is
often
a
frustrating
experience.
The
vast
majority
of
websites
are
still
designed
and
developed
for
PC
and
users,
in
front
of
a
big
display,
a
keyboard
and
a
mouse.
Providing
good
sites
for
mobile
devices
is
a
complex
task
for
most
of
web-­‐developers
(mobile
devices
diversity,
mobile
browser
management,
optimization,
hosting,
maintenance
etc…).
The
task
becomes
even
more
complex
when
web-­‐
developers
have
to
deliver
a
‘mobile
version’
of
an
existing
desktop
website.
OSMOBI
(www.osmobi.com)
gives
Joomla!
&
Drupal
web
developers
an
instant
and
simple
way
to
take
the
web
to
mobile
devices,
thus
offering
mobile
users
a
truly
mobile-­‐friendly
content
and
browsing
experience
–
regardless
of
the
device.
The
new
tool
is
free
below
150
mobile
pageviews
per
day
and
can
be
implemented
in
3
simple
steps.
Web
developers
only
need
to
create
an
account,
download
&
install
the
module
and
start
mobilizing
their
website.
OSMOBI
also
makes
the
mobile
experience
better
for
any
mobile
device
on
the
market.
OSMOBI
targets
those
users
(personal
and
professional
users)
who
need
to
mobilize
a
website
that
was
created
using
an
open
source
Content
Management
System
(e.g.
Drupal,
Joomla!).
The
user
is
an
amateur,
(professional)
freelancer
or
a
company
(web
agency,
digital
agency,
corporate
and
Government
ICT
Dept,
no
profit
etc...)
providing
their
own
websites
or
solutions
to
their
customers.
Frank
Gielen,
CEO
SIRUNA:
“There
are
many
statistics
out
there
confirming
that
mobile
internet
is
literally
booming.
However,
elements
that
still
slow
down
further
adoption
of
mobile
internet
are
both
the
user
browsing
experience
and
the
way
content
is
repurposed
to
fit
the
specific
mobile
device.
With
OSMOBI
we
eliminate
this
pain
and
offer
user-­‐friendly
mobile
websites
to
any
mobile
device.
In
other
words,
we
deliver
optimal
user
experience
while
keeping
web
development
effort
very
limited“.
