Expand the visibility of your website by creating a mobile version that allows visitors to easily view it on their mobile devices. Instant Mobilizer automatically converts your website text and images, maintaining your logo and color scheme, and adds features for use on mobile phones, such as clickable phone numbers and Google Maps hyperlinks for addresses. Anywhere a phone number displays, visitors can click the phone number to dial it on their mobile phone. Likewise, anywhere an address displays, visitors can click the Google Maps hyperlink to view a map of the location.
