Creating a Header Across All Pages of Your Site

Posted by ben on January 25, 2012 at 2:38 pm

You can easily create a header across all pages of your site, by “locking” any content block.

Here’s how:

1) In the Add Elements page within your MoFuse dashboard, create the content block for your header.

2) On the Site Layout page, lay this element at the very top of your mobile site.

3) Still on the Site Layout page, click the pencil icon for the content block element. This opens a quick edit ability.

4) Select Yes for “Lock as Header?

Congrats! You’ve now created a content header throughout your mobile website. You can unlock or replace this header at any time from the Site Layout page.

A great application of this feature that we see frequently: Use a content block to lock an image or text link to a page of site with a lead gen  form for event registration, newsletter sign up, contact form, or even member donations.

Boost Your Web Presence with SEO-Friendly URL’s

Posted by ben on at 6:40 pm

Ladies and gentleman, get ready. SEO-Friendly URL’s have arrived!

With this new feature, you can now create custom URL’s for each page and RSS feeds on your mobile website.

For instance, let’s assume you’ve created a website for John’s Sneaker Shop, with the following URL: http://johnssneakers.prohost.mobi. If you add a ‘Contact Us‘ page to the site, you can name it http://johnssneakers.prohost.mobi/contact-us.

Additionally, you can edit the URL for pages or RSS feeds which have already been built into a mobile site in the Edit Elements page.

We hope you’re as excited about this new feature as we are!

Make your Maps Interactive!

Have a map on your mobile site but looking to make it more interactive? We recommend linking your map to Google Maps, so it becomes clickable!

Here’s how to do this:

1) Create a map element in the ‘Add Elements’ panel*

*Ignore step 1 if you already have a map on your mobile site

2) Lay out the map on your mobile website

3) Save the image of the map to your computer’s hard drive

4) Upload the image as an Image element and link it to the location’s address in Google maps

5) Delete the previously-created map, and then lay out your new image!

Doing this can be a great way to create a more user-friendly map, and it allows your mobile visitors to easily navigate to your location once they’ve clicked through to Google Maps!
