Mobile is one of these “details” that many decide to ignore without realizing the profit loss they get into. Is quite frustrating to visit a website from a mobile, and realize you can’t understand anything from it, having to zoom in and get to see unorganized elements all over the place. Besides that, the content which interests you is hardly accessible and that usually results in searching for another source.

What does that mean? Simple: no interest, no attention, no conversion, no money!

Many would say that mobile optimization is overrated, however the stats show the contrary and people just love spending time on mobile devices. That includes browsing, shopping, social media, blogging and pretty much everything a desktop PC can offer. On top of that, the number of sales that come from mobile devices is growing rapidly and even Google was caught by surprise by this phenomenon.

We present mobiStart – A complete solution for mobile devices and tablets. A theme created by ThemeStart team as a must-have suite for every blog owner who uses WordPress. The theme comprises technologies like HTML5 and CSS3 focusing on top performance combined with smooth effects.

1. Responsive Multi-Level Menu

The main idea is to save space for menus that have a lot of content and sub-levels. Each sub-level in this menu will be shown in its own context, making the “parent” level disappear. This is done with subtle animations that are defined in separate animation classes. The menu is fluid so that it can be used easily in a responsive layout.

2. Drop-Down Navigation: Responsive and Touch-Friendly

This challenge was to show nested navigation items on click-demand, without the event taking you through to the page you’ve pressed…

The mock navigation you see above is a mobile-first example of using media queries and javascript to make a decent site menu with drop downs. Special attention is paid to touch screens using touch events with tap targets (the key feature of FlexNav).
