In a time\u00a0when responsive themes are the standard, one would\u00a0be forgiven for wondering why a plugin is needed to make your WordPress site mobile friendly.\u00a0The answer is simple: WordPress has been around since 2003, meaning that owners\u00a0of some older generation websites are looking for a way to produce a mobile friendly version of their battle tested\u00a0website.<\/p>\n

Enter\u00a0WPtouch\u00a0\u2013 a WordPress plugin that automatically generates a simple (and customizable<\/a>) mobile theme for mobile visitors, all while leaving your existing desktop WordPress theme intact.\u00a0It offers a simple solution\u00a0to accommodating the vast number of people<\/a> browsing the internet via mobile devices.<\/p>\n

\"WPtouch\"<\/p>\n

In this article, we will guide you through the process of how to make your WordPress site mobile friendly with WPtouch.\u00a0But before that, let’s explore\u00a0why choosing a responsive theme \u2013 instead of using WPtouch \u2013 could be\u00a0a better alternative:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why you should consider a responsive theme instead of WPtouch<\/h2>\n

These days,\u00a0the best way to make your WordPress website mobile friendly is by using\u00a0a fully responsive theme.<\/p>\n

The clear\u00a0benefit in doing so (as opposed to using WPtouch)\u00a0lies in the fact that no further action is needed to produce responsive content. If your\u00a0theme is\u00a0responsive, your website\u00a0is responsive. As such, there is\u00a0no need to install an extra plugin such as\u00a0WPtouch.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the main\u00a0issue\u00a0in\u00a0using\u00a0WPtouch is that it produces a generic theme for your site when viewed on mobile devices, which may look drastically different to your existing\u00a0WordPress theme. From a branding perspective, this is far from ideal.\u00a0On the other hand, if you opt for a responsive theme, you will achieve design consistency across all devices \u2013 both desktop and mobile.<\/p>\n

To make matters even simpler, any self-respecting modern\u00a0WordPress theme is\u00a0fully responsive out of the box.<\/p>\n
