The Edinburgh Address mobile version

Written by Robin Morris on 16 November 2011

The Edinburgh Address on iPhone book now

We have implemented a mobile version of The Edinburgh Address holiday apartments website.

To see it you will need to navigate to www.theedinburghaddress.com on your smartphone (iPhone, Android, Blackberry).

How did we do it?

So how did we go about showing mobile users a completely different interface?

  • the mobile device is detected using a Joomla! plugin which switches to a Joomla! template designed specifically for mobile devices
  • the mobile friendly interface is then achieved using the jQuery Mobile framework
  • we created some specific Tribalogic Platform pages to output mobile specific HTML and smaller image sizes

jquery-mobile-logo

Which devices will it look good on?

It should look great on iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), Android, Windows Phone 7, Blackberry and many more... the list of jQuery Mobile supported platforms is impressive.

Want a mobile version of your Tribalogic website?

Mobile is a rapidly growing sector, quickly becoming difficult to ignore.

We can give any of our websites a mobile interface.

Simply ask.

    Email Marketing Suite: Auto Responders

    Written by Robin Morris on 03 October 2011

    Auto responders in our Email Marketing Suite make it easy to stay in touch with your subscribers without lifting a finger.

    emailQuickly build and schedule automated date-based campaigns. Send single emails or a sequence over time.

    I have outlined some examples of how you can schedule Auto-responders to work with our Platform.

    Example 1 - Keeping in touch after a holiday cottage booking

    12th Jan [booking]
    John Smith books Holly Cottage, arriving 10th July through www.brilliant-holiday-lets.com (a Property Portfolio website)
     9th Jul [auto-responder]
    It is the day before John and his family are due to arrive at Holly Cottage - the auto-responder kicks in - he is sent an email to remind him of his booking and explaining how to pick up the keys
    20th Jul [auto-responder]
    A week after John departs, he is asked about his stay.  An email containing a link to a simple survey form made using Form Stack
    12th Dec [auto-responder]
    It is 11 months since he booked so John is sent an email reminding him that he booked his holiday cottage and asking him if he would like to book with Brilliant Holiday Lets Inc. again


    Example 2 - How did we do email

    20th Oct [enquiry]
    Oliver Markham sends an enquiry to a camp site on www.caravan-parkfinder.com.au
    27th Oct [auto-reponder]
    Seven days after he sent his enquiry, an email is sent to Oliver asking if he found the information he was looking for and was there anything else we could do to help?
