Your Mobile Website: be Up-to-Date!

Using mobile devices to access the web has become so integrated into our everyday life, that there is no possibility to ignore such segment of the market anymore. Unluckily, the mobile arena is needed some specific knowledge and introduces a complexity that can be difficult for developers to accommodate. Mobile development is more than cross-browser, it should be cross-platform.

One day surfing the web I found the attractive (as for my mind) solution – Mobile Website Content Management Platform by Jaenovation, Inc. As a designer I work with such content management system (CMS) as WordPress, Joomla, with osCommerce and phpBB Forum, so I was interested to try a new web application for mobile development. Without hesitation I started to produce my own mobile web site.

The offered tool is easy to use, indeed – it took me less than an hour to complete the work. Have to say, that Jaemobi allows to create any look you want with Jaemobi’s advanced widgets and plug-ins. A user can build custom designed mobile websites, mobile online stores, mobile campaigns and landing pages effortlessly. Jaemobi also offers many cutting edge mobile solutions like mobile ecommerce which provides fully integrated paypal mobile payment gateway – for managing inventory, selling tickets, collecting donations, etc. Besides with all new plans, clients can also create their own landing pages for different campaigns and publish them with their unique QR Code.

It’s cloud-based, with fresh and sweet look and feel.. I loved it at first sight )

The widget itself consists of two parts:
- a set of polygon data representing the countries of the world – to create a layer above that responds to all mouse movements;
- a layer with a background image below.
So all coordinates are related with the background image and every area has its hyperlink.

Being a Team Player

It’s impossible to overestimate such trait as ‘being a team player‘. Because if you are a part of a team, you do need to communicate with others while working at common projects. And the result of such cooperation is wrapped up in your congruence.

I’m fond of playing badminton. And according to my private experience, have to say that at a pair game a team of two weaker players is able to gain victory over strong strikes if their movements are not coordinated quite well. If you are playing doubles, you must smash them before they smash you. If you understand every movement of your partner, if your pair works well together – then you control the whole court throughout and drive the play in the right direction.

Working on a Project: Effective Management

Every new project starts with a planning. Or it should. And the future of the new venture depends on how much efforts you put at this stage, depends on how are you picky to details and are you able to think forward.

As you contact with a customer, you get his vision of the final product he awaits to get done. But a threat, for my mind, is that your client (at 90% of cases) has no experience with web and he names you just his feeling, not the guide for action. Well, may I say that it’s the same as explain a painter how he is to paint – the idea is clear, but there are so many pictures you get as many artists will work.
