You might not have a developer on hand to help you get your site up to snuff, but we’ve curated a list of six excellent tools that will help you get your site optimized for smartphones and beyond.

MobilePress Plugin

MobilePress is a plugin for WordPress that renders a mobile friendly version of your WordPress website or blog. It allows for custom themes and a few other mobile-friendly settings.

The easiest way to see how mobiley optimized your site is, is to just type it into the W3C mobileOK Checker. It analyzes your site and generates a list of high, medium and low priority issues, letting you prioritize and see what issues need to be resolved when.
