Events and conference sites tend to have a strong mobile use case. That’s why we are really excited to power Canadian Music Fest, one of the largest music events in North America, with Mobify.
The source site, available at http://www.canadianmusicfest.com, was implemented with a custom content management system, used JavaScript popups for some of its functionality and had some pages exceed 1MB. That’s not very mobile-friendly, but thanks to Mobify the website was extended to mobile without losing any of the functionality. Hundreds of bands with dates and times of their performance, places of performance, even search – all of that was available on iPhones, Blackberries and other devices through a mobile view of the existing site.
We’ve seen the traffic to the mobile site go up 10x during the festival. Check it out at http://m.canadianmusicfest.com and see the screenshots below!
