The Friends of Coal and the West Virginia Coal Association recently launched mobile-friendly versions of their websites. Above is a screen shot for both websites’ mobile applications. You can add either site to your phone’s icons. When using it, it will function just like a native phone application. We’re still working on the layout of both sites, but they are active as of last week and easy to use.
As more and more people are using their phones as their primary access to the internet, we believed it was necessary to improve the functionality of our sites and add an easier-to-use mobile interface. This is part of our ongoing effort to improve the web-presence of our Association and the Friends of Coal.
