Artists of all types are invading the mobile web.

A growing number of musicians, actors, painters, photographers, designers and writers alike are taking advantage of the presence of mobile site providers in the mobile web to further promote their artworks, exhibits, concerts and portfolios.

Mobile site providers like Mobilemo feature highly innovative and user-friendly tools that artists may easily use to build their own personal playground in the mobile web. The label “struggling artist” is a thing of the past in the mobile web as most of these mobile site providers offer free memberships. Artists are able to increase their presence in the arts & entertainment industry without the need to shell out the extra cash to hire a programmer to create a mobile web site for them.

The availability and proliferation of innovative and interactive tools, like the ones listed below, provides artists another venue for creative self-expression:

Mobile Pages. When it comes to content, mobile pages present limitless possibilities. Mobile pages may be used as an avenue for writing blogs, stories, poems, essays, lyrics, and even publishing reviews and critiques about the latest event and issues circulating in the art industry. Some mobile site providers even feature text-wrapping tools that enables users to insert images into their mobile pages. This allows artists to post photos of their works with titles, specifications and descriptions. Mobile pages allow artists to create their own mobile art portfolio.

Skins, Color Palettes and Themes provide artists the license to really unleash their creativity. Artists thrive in color and they use it as a means to stand out and express their personal style and individuality. Mobile site providers usually offer a wide array of colors and themes for artists to play and tinker with in the creation of their mobile web sites.

File Sharing allows artists to upload their latest works for everyone to see. Musicians may also showcase their latest originally composed singles and even create playlists of their major musical influences for their following to listen to. Photographers, painters, illustrators and designers also use this feature to build mobile portfolios that they present to potential clients wherever they may go.

Messaging Tools allow for the promotion and announcements of the latest art exhibits, musical events and concerts. Artists may easily get in touch with their target audience to inform them of the latest happenings and developments in the art industry.

Comments & Guestbook. Ever wondered what your public thinks of your works? One way to find out about how people view your work is by opening up your mobile site for comments. Feedback from fellow artists, critics and even admirers of your work through the Guestbook gives you ideas about how else you would want to improve your art works. Constructive criticism at its finest.

Forms. Artists may opt to create their own artists’ pool or communities. The Forms Tool is an effective way for artists to encourage membership. Artists’ may get their friends, patrons and following to sign up for community memberships using the Forms tool. It allows art communities to flourish in the mobile web as it enables artists to continuously update its database.

Beyond the Static Page

With the increasing popularity of Mobile Web, more people are exploring its possibilities and creating their own mobile sites.  Mobile site owners are starting to realize how their sites can work for them, and therefore maximizing the tools for creating mobile sites.

The most popular activities for mobile site owners are usually file sharing and static mobile pages.  However, there are so much more that users can do with their mobile sites.   Some mobile site providers, like Mobilemo, offer tools for greater interactivity, such as forms, polls, guestbook, and comments.  These tools allow for two-way communication between the mobile site owner and the site visitors.  A lot of people may tend to overlook these features or just not use them, not knowing how it can greatly benefit themselves and the purpose of their mobile site.

Polls are a great way to interact with an audience.  You can get as creative as you want and pose the most interesting and unique questions.  You may just be very curious about some stuff or some issues and would like to get the pulse of the people.  On the other hand, if your site is geared towards more serious matters or if you have a business site, you can use polls to survey your target audience.  The results of your polls can help you understand them better or get the necessary feedback that you need to achieve your goals and make your business an even greater success.

Forms are very helpful especially when you have a business mobile site or a mobile site to promote yourself and your works.  Convenience is the name of the game here.  You can create a catalog through the mobile pages and easily let your mobile site visitors order or simply send you inquiries or feedback through the forms you create.  There is great flexibility with what you can do.  It is easily customizable, since you can control what fields you want your form to contain.

With a guestbook, even non-Mobilemo users can get in touch with you through your mobile site.  It is a great tool for getting feedback from and interacting with just about anybody.  Comments, on the other hand, foster a sense of community within Mobilemo.  Users can interact with one another and give each other a piece of their mind.  Imagine how far this can go.  New ideas and fresh points of view can be generated in community discussions through the comments.

Explore all the possibilities of your mobile site.  You’ve already gone ahead and created one, might as well go all the way and maximize all the features.  Make your mobile site a cut above the rest and engage with your audience.  Harness the power of interactivity and reap its benefits.
