Other than paying the $699 fee to Miva to have my website made mobile ready for Google's next big change on 4/21, do any of the developers have an easy fix or are there any Miva apps to integrate into my website to get it mobile without spending an arm and a leg? I did the Google mobility test and failed miserably. I'm sort of a day late and a dollar short on this. Up until a week ago I didn't realize Google was going to do this. I am able to access my website via mobile phone without any problems but the test showed things wrong which I knew needed working on even for my regular website.

Kathleen,
I'm not sure if this helps but if you have time to convert your site to one of the FREE Ready Themes from version 9 they are ALL Mobile Friendly and did I mention FREE.Sincerely,

Good to know, Stephen. I wasn't sure if those themes had been optimized or not.

Re: Miva 9, store mobility & Google April 21st
I am not an SEO expert...but I've been doing e-commerce for almost 17 years...come april 21st, only one thing will possibly happen.
When someone enters "pet frogs" on their mobile device, if you sell pet frogs and you site isn't 'mobile' friendly, then site's that ARE will rank higher than you. If you currently get a small amount of mobile traffic, I wouldn't worry about April 21st (at least 4/21/2015....4/21/16 is a different story).
If 99% of your traffic is from desktops or tablets, then you've got more productive stuff to worry about.Bruce Golub

Thanks, Bruce. Most of my business does come from FB, word of mouth, or Google desktop traffic.

Re: Miva 9, store mobility & Google April 21st
No Problem...please also note:
1) There are many other options for "mobile" friendly web sites. (Would be nice to catalog them...but who has time :))
2) The miva professional services one is not a 'fee' but rather payment for services
3) Several other miva merchant integrator's also do this type of work. Post in for hire section to wake them up :)Bruce Golub

Re: Miva 9, store mobility & Google April 21st
Miss Kate: Thanks for the post, it woke me up to the April 21st deadline. Went to https://www.google.com/webmasters/to...bile-friendly/ to check our Miva created mobile site. Am happy to report that Miva did their work well and it passed.
Thanks to the Miva team, LarryLarry
