A lot of people have emailed and asked me for ready-made mobile themes that they can easily install on their WordPress blog so I have decided to put together four of my favourite professional and affordable mobile themes for WordPress.
For Advanced Users and Developers
WPtouch Pro
WPtouch Pro is a premium version of the popular WPtouch theme for WordPress. It is a WordPress plugin which adds powerful, easy-to-use features to WordPress for mobile + tablet theme support, while keeping it completely independent of your desktop theme. It also has a robust theming framework, perfect for creating awesome mobile & tablet optimized versions of websites.
Pricing:
$39 for 1 site, $69 for 5 sites, and $199 for an unlimited developer license (Prices in Canadian (CAD) dollars)
Why would I buy it:
The technologies used (HTML5, AJAX, CSS3) are ideal for mobiles and tablets (iPad). WPtouch Pro is compatible with not just iPhone and iPad but also with high-end mobile devices like Android and Blackberry and tablet devices like iPad.
Obox Mobile
Obox Mobile works by detecting supported devices like iPhones, Android & Blackberry and more, serving an optimised theme instead of your regular desktop theme. It is a WordPress plugin with a Plug 'n Play Installation. Obox Mobile is built for developers with a custom mobile framework giving them the ability to create child themes and make custom modifications. It integrates well with WooThemes and other Obox Themes for WordPress.
Pricing:
$50 for single pack, $100 for developer pack
Why would I buy it:
As with WPtouch Pro, modern technologies such as HTML5, AJAX and CSS3 are used to deliver a seamless user experience like a native app. It also works on most smartphones such as iPhones, Androids, Nokia Smartphones, Blackberry and Opera Mobile based browsers. The 'Child Themes' feature enables developers to create custom themes based on the existing mobile framework in a short amount of time.
