Last night at C’est Way Night Club there was a great showcase of BCMusic artists from Vancouver. Adaline was terrific with her emotional song ” Chemical Spill” and Dan Mangan with ” Robot” here are two of the four artists sites…. more to come…deployment coming soon….

It is exciting to be in Toronto for the Canadian Music Week and Fest….. I arrived today with Igor Faletski of Mobify.Me and we have started to have some of the fun of the festivities…. As ADO is sponsoring mobile as a consultant this year, we decided to do quick mobifications ( mobile-views) of some of the bands websites. We started today with Val Halla ( http://www.Valhallaonline.com). Here is the mobile view of the website…. just now getting ready to deploy.

Here is the website

…..and here is what the mobile view of the site looks like powered by Mobify.Me

ADO and Mobify.Me will be at the Royal York at Booth #3.  Come by and see us for a FREE 1-page Mobified Site for your Artist/Band/Venue.

Here are some visuals of  the Trews and their mobified site. As you can see below, the main site has been streamlined to the smaller view for mobile.

Now what is so unique about the mobification process with Mobify.Me is that these two views are the same site! This is what makes this so special.

For CanadianMusicFest there are the artists and venue listings on the festival website that have been mobified.  When you click on the website link in the CanadianMusicFest mobified landing page, the mobified site for the band is the site that you get from your device.  This auto-redirecting completely in mobile with all the right domains  http://m.thetrewsmusic.com unique.  Could you imaging if all 600+ Bands had all theirs sites mobile?

This year ADO had the great opportunity to be the mobile consultant for the event. We decided to first focus on the Canadian Music Fest with the CMW team by mobifying their website- see http://www.mobify.me and also added the text search functionality for any artist, venue at the event.  The way it works is to TEXT ” Venue or Artist Name” to 898 898 ( Standard-Rates apply, no additional cost service).   This service will only work in Canada, but it is a fully functional service for over 600 bands and 50 venues linking them back to the CanadianMusicfest.com mobile-view of the online website from your mobile phone. By texting “CMF” to 898 898, you will get a link to the home page of the mobile-view.

The mobify.me product is unique in that there is no mobile website created. The service works so that a web designer is in full control of the lay-out of the site when it is hit by different mobile browsers. This enables a one-web/two-view of the site ( Online view, and mobile view). We also added a mobile-tab page in the main Canadianmusicfest.com site to for users to get the mobile-view as a Text-push and also register for alerts during the event. We do not plan on having many alerts this year unless there is a sponsor. If you are interested in sponsoring, please contact Mary Simon’s Sponsorship@cmw.net.   Below is an example of the mobile site.
