MU Mobile

Check out MU Mobile, a new website that is free to use and accessible from any mobile Smartphone.

Access to Millersville University is easier than ever with MU Mobile, a new website that is free to use and accessible from any mobile Smartphone. The URL for the website is m.millersville.edu.

“The idea was a collaborative effort between IT and marketing,” said Ryan Griffith, web developer at Millersville. “Based on increasing mobile traffic and current [web] trends, we decided to launch a side project that would offer the campus community an alternative, mobile-friendly view of the Millersville website.”

Involvement in the planning and development of the site included the system administration team, web developer and designer as well as a digital media specialist. Before the site was developed, a poll was posted to My’Ville to see if students would be interested in a mobile version of Millersville’s website. Since the “silent launch” on September 1, 2010, the website has received more than 3,000 page views.

When away from a computer, you can use MU Mobile to get information on Marauder athletics, campus information, MU weather forecasts and more.

“The benefit of using the mobile website is that we are able to provide an easy-to-use site that will function in a similar manner to a much broader and diverse mobile audience, rather than developing an application (i.e. an app) that will reach a much smaller audience,” said Griffith.

After first time use of the website, the site can be saved onto the homepage of any Smartphone, or as a bookmark, for instant use in the future.
