The Pittsburgh, Pa.-based company, which was founded in 2008, compiled an index of 66 mobile sites developed by Branding Brand for retailers across a variety of categories including apparel, health and beauty and home goods. The company says it’s the largest index that details only commerce sites specifically made for smartphones, as opposed to non-optimized desktop commerce sites with mobile traffic.

Branding Brand, a mobile commerce platform that powers mobile commerce for sites and mobile apps from brands such as American Eagle Outfitters, Crate & Barrel, and Ralph Lauren, raised $7.5 million in Series A funding back in October, led by Insight Venture Partners, with participation from CrunchFund and Eastern Advisors.
