Winksite releases new features

Better late than never, I’ve finally been able to take a peak at some of new things David Harper and gang have added to Winksite (see some stuff below, a follow link below for even more details).

Gotta say, pretty nifty.

Winksite is really good to begin with. I’ve written about it a lot over the past years (just look here). Winksite makes it really easy to create and manage mobile websites. WIth that as a basic, they have been adding small tweaks without destroying the main goal.

With this last release, they’ve added:

– Color schemes and backgrounds that work across a great variety of mobile devices and screens.

– Mobile sites with 100% valid XHTML code, fully compliant with W3C Mobile Web Standards (in addition to the usual WAP fare).

– A search engine optimization tool including a Google Mobile Sitemap for each site.

– Sony PSP, Nintendo DS Lite, and Apple iPhone optimized pages (adding to a long list of other supported devices – see link below).

Way to go, guys.
