		<description><![CDATA[I agree, Will, that a website needs to look good on a mobile phone and most clunky old static websites as well as fancy new flash driven websites don&#039;t. Major WordPress themes provide access to mobile optimized child themes, but as I said, the technology is lagging behind the demand right now - all StudioPress and WooTheme themes are NOT mobile optimized. 

For the average small local business owner this whole issue is just one more thing to suck up precious time, and for the near future, a simple, clean, well optimized WordPress website with NO bells and whistles looks great on mobile phones and will get the job done. Checking a site out using the link in the post is a good place to start. If your site looks funky it will probably cost less to shift to a simple wordpress site than to pay someone to optimize a complex site for mobile.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think having a mobile site or one that has responsive web design built in, much like what major Wordpress theme providers like WooTheme or StudioPress offer are becoming the norm.

You can&#039;t ignore mobile optimized websites because with everyone including their grandmother owning an iPhone nowadays, you want to provide an optimal user experience for them to stick around and perhaps check out what you have to offer.]]></description>
