Every year, the webmaster conference Discuz! A new version will be released. This year's 2013 entrepreneurs (webmasters) conference is no exception. this Discuz! The release of X3.0 marks the arrival of mobile Internet popularization. After the conference, I upgraded a forum to X3.0.

Dicuz! Master of optimization

For the first use of Discuz! For friends, Discuz! It is more like a multi-functional program integrating portals, forums, and SNS. webmasters can freely modify the program into portals, forums, and blogs, there are more than 1000 templates in the application center to implement the popular website interface.

From Discuz! In the background of X3.O, the product seems to be slightly changed (probably because the underlying optimization is not visible). I have seen the addition of the website optimization master function, which is very helpful to those who do not understand SEO.

Mobile Display

I think, Discuz! X3.0's biggest characteristic is the mobile Internet display form (in line with the theme of this conference to fully embrace the mobile Internet), to facilitate the construction of mobile stations for webmasters. Lao Chen also mentioned at the 2013 Entrepreneurs Conference: in fact, in Discuz! In the forum, more users access through WAP, far more than the APP. according to our statistics and calculations, currently, there are more than 5 million users accessing the forum through WAP every day, accounting for of the total number. this number is far more than the number of active users of the independent website app.

Next let's take a look at the comparison between the old version and the X3.0 mobile station:

The new version releases Discuz! Lite version, basic version, and touch screen version to adapt to different mobile phones and browsers. The display method of the interface is more refreshing and more like an APP.

The new content page highlights the reply function, but the page layout is somewhat unsatisfactory, especially the Member Information Display part.

Okay, if it's Discuz! Users can easily build a mobile site with beautiful UI.

Mobile site optimization

The cell phone screen is small, and the interface design is particularly important. Okay, at Discuz! In the WAP end of X3.0, you do not need to perform too many operations, but I hope you will pay attention to some small details:

1. try to display Discuz on the mobile phone station! Lite version, keeping the page as concise as possible to ensure the speed of opening.

2. for the keywords and description in the webpage code of the homepage or channel homepage of a mobile website, it is best to add meta tags and keywords that are different from those on the PC end, the keywords and descriptions on each page are the same as those on traditional PC websites.

3. enable the gallery mode in the background (similar to the graphic style of the computer version). The Gallery mode is to slide the mobile phone screen left and right to view the pictures in the post. by default, only one picture is displayed, which greatly reduces the image loading workload, increase the page opening speed.

It is understood that Discuz! In May June, a handheld forum, that is, the APP client, will be launched. each website of the customized edition client will have its own logo. by default, the website's content will be displayed. You can simply submit several related parameters and logo images to generate them.

It can be predicted that the launch of the handheld Forum will change the APP development price to the cabbage price. Currently, tens of thousands of APP development fees are required. once Discuz is used! It is equivalent to zero cost.

APP flood, webmaster can consider building a Discuz! APP Alliance, dedicated to providing and Discuz! APP-related websites.

For small and medium-sized websites, creating an APP is not very useful in essence, which is equivalent to adding a job. For brand sites, you can consider building one. for example, my blog has established an APP client for the webmaster's things (Lu Songsong's blog), which aims to "high-end, atmospheric, and International ".

It is easy to create an APP, but its promotion channels are difficult. In fact, the APP promotion effect on the web page is not good. The conventional app promotion means that users can scan the QR code to obtain the download link through their own website publicity, and then install the software on their own. In this way, according to our statistics, the user's success rate is about 3% from scanning the QR code to the final installation.

With the advent of the mobile Internet, many webmasters build websites to keep up with the trend and shout a lot of slogans, but few do what they do. You want to use Discuz! This 2013 entrepreneurship conference and zero threshold Discuz! The release of X3.0 allows more webmasters to move towards the mobile Internet.

Appendix: to adapt to the mobile internet trend, Lu Songsong's blog recently launched iPhone and Android mobile client, which can be downloaded in all major APP malls.
