Services to make your blog mobile-friendly

Dear Lifehacker,
I have a blog that I want to make more mobile-friendly and look better on mobile phones, but I don’t know anything about web development and don’t have the money to hire anyone. Is it possible to make my site mobile-friendly, or, better yet, can I make the blog into a downloadable app?
