WordPress to Create iPhone Web Apps
March 16, 2008
Build Entire iPhone Web Apps from WordPress.
MANY know how to use WordPress. NOT MANY know how to code a web app for the iPhone. But now you can! It’s easy, it’s new and it’s super cool!
This is intended for native iPhone Web app output, not for blogging. WordPress is the medium for publishing for those unable to write an iPhone app by code. It is NOT intended to make your blog look like an iPhone.
So, make a web app by using these “themes”.
Then just write, upload images and link to videos, integrate the Google maps feature and tap-to-call as quickly and effortlessly as writing a post and building a link in WordPress. Yes, it scales when you hold your iPhone horizontally and functions in the manner you expect from any iPhone specific app.
You get 2 types - one with pages as well as a post driven version for deeper sites. So, use the “Category” version in the download to make deeper site menus. (Both versions - Page and Category come with 2 skins)
This runs from a specially designed theme I made for you. Just upload it to your Theme folder on a WordPress installation and start writing. The output is formatted EXACTLY as the iPhone standards dictate.
The ‘contact’ button will contact YOU. Links to maps and phone numbers work the way your iPhone wants them to with tap-to-call.
You can see a quick Page driven sample here. (renders in iPhone Safari) It was made entirely in WordPress with this system.
And a deeper Post driven sample here. (renders in iPhone Safari) It was also made entirely in WordPress with this system.
No more learning curve or tinkering with code for a custom app. Just do what you know how to do; TYPE in WordPress.
You get 2 iPhone theme templates with 2 skins each. One theme is Post driven with Categories, the other by Pages. Below are the 2 skins included.
Die hard coders may want to create custom iPhone apps so use my code template, Otherwise, newbies and basic iPhone or WordPress junkies can do it with this WordPress solution.
Have FUN!
