Republican House Candidate candidate Remzey Samarrai, running in Florida House District 22, wanted a website designed and developed that was different from most politicians’ websites. He wanted it to be visually different, wanted it to include detailed position papers on issues (most politician are afraid to tell you where they stand on the issues, aren’t they?), and wanted it to be simple to maintain.

Mission accomplished - designed differently - check, include issue papers - check, and easy to maintain - check (Ozean placed them in our easy to use, web-based, content management system so that the campaign staff can easily amend and add to the website.)  This project was also designed and developed very quickly. Once the design was approved by the client, the site was developed and launched in approximately 3 days.

Just on a side note, Ozean Consulting is a division of Ozean and is performing the role of general consultant on Remzey Samarrai’s campaign; therefore, in a precautionary move, we will include the Florida required disclaimer: “Paid Political Advertisement, Paid for and approved by Remzey Samarrai, Republican for Florida State House, District 22.”

One of my favorite Twitter accounts to follow is @smashingmagazine. LOVE their stuff.

They had a great tweet this morning regarding the mess that is Internet Explorer v6. We have stopped our support of the browser, but you can never quite get away from it.

The article is a comprehensive overview of the challenges of IE6 and should be read by every designer, sales person, and client.

I almost started a fight on twitter. I said something to the affect that “I-phone apps are a fad”.  Boy did I get some interesting DMs on that one. I never knew I was such an idiot!

My point is that applications are the rage now.  However, they are expensive and there is a glut of applications.

Why would a company want to limit their market?  For example, Ozean’s designers - I-phone fanatics.  Ozean’s Sales - Blackberry fanatics.  Ozean’s developers stood in line for Androids.

Instead of building platform specific applications (one for I-phone, one for BB, one for Android) - why wouldn’t you invest the same amount of money OR less to insure that your website works on a mobile web platform?  That way anyone with any phone and any browser would be able to access your company’s offerings.

True, it is not as sexy right now and the mobile browsers still have a way to go - but that is the next logical step.  Breaking away from a platform specific application to a mobile browser experience.

I found this article on usability tips for mobile web site design.and I thought I would share it in closing.
