San Diego, California - (Website Hosting Directory) - July 30, 2007 - Wapple web hosting services provider, has launched a totally free design, hosting and management solution, for mobile websites, funded by the inclusion of relevant, targeted third-party banner advertising through AdMob, Admoda and Millennial Media.

According to the company, the new Wapple ad-funded solution provides free use of the innovative Wapple Canvas suite of mobile Internet design tools that is now even easier to use, with a new range of templates and step-by-step design wizard. And once created, the Wapple Delivery Engine will ensure that the site is reconfigured and optimised to display the best results on any mobile device, on any network and from any country.

Those that prefer not to incorporate banner advertising can still use the standard Wapple Canvas Free package, with a small cost incurred for the Wapple Delivery Engine when the site goes live. More advanced Wapple Canvas packages with additional functionality, such as integrated billing, are also available.

Rich Holdsworth, CTO at Wapple explained, ”The Wapple ad-funded model not only removes all the barriers to creating an essential mobile presence by making it quick, easy and free, it also allows anyone to create a highly functional, professional, mobile-search ready site that looks good and actually works properly on some 5,000 mobile devices including PDAs, the Sony PSP and new iPhone.”

Mr. Holdsworth remarked, ”Our simple set-up wizard and templates guide users through the design process and give them the freedom to brand and style their sites totally as they want. It is also easy to add extended functionality, interactive elements such as polls and user feedback, as well as rich media content including games, videos and music.”

Wapple Canvas is a toolkit that is accessible from anywhere in the world through a PC web-browser. The simple, point and click, drag and drop interface makes it possible for anyone to build and get a mobile web site up and running in moments.

Wapple provides a fully hosted solution that comes with a Wapple url that can easily be pointed to the user’s own domain. The Wapple Delivery Engine automatically customises and renders mobile internet pages to individual browser-based mobile devices and delivers rich optimised WML, HTML, XHTML, CHTML content to 3G, iMode, GPRS and GSM networks as well as Wireless Lan.

Data is also collected on visitors to the sites and full statistics are provided. The Wapple core technology automatically generates and submits a Google site map that describes each site’s pages and content to ensure strong positioning in mobile search engines.
