IndieFeed wanted an iPhone version of their site to go with their awesome new Wordpress based site, designed by, plug, BeOriginal. Thankfully, we didn’t have to create the iPhone version from scratch, not that we couldn’t mind you. It’s just that the folks over at Brave New Code already provided the Wordpress community with a handy little plugin by the name of WPTouch. With that in hand, rather than wasting time and effort (and the client’s budget) building an iPhone site from scratch, we were able to have a complete, custom, working iPhone version up in no time flat.
While the WPTouch plugin helped speed up the process, it didn’t take care of everything. It did give us a base template to start from. We then had to take the design from the main site and incorporate it into the new iPhone optimized site. To do that we used a complex series of lasers, microscopes, science, crazy mathematical equations, three sour apple jellybeans, and two boxes of plutonium schmear all to miniaturize the design to best fit the iPhone. We think everything turned out pretty great. Our client, IndieFeed, loves it, and that makes it all worth it.
If you’ve got an iPhone or iPod Touch we highly recommend you try it out.
