Recently, Annie and I went on one of the Savor Seattle Food Tours up in Seattle, WA. …we thought it would be a good way to learn more about one of our new clients.
Check out all the photos I took on the adventure.

With the functional prototype and the design work in the can, we got the opportunity to start work on the front-end implementation for Contiki’s mobile website . Since we had a good dose of working with the jQuery mobile framework from the prototype, we were able to dive right in and get to work.

As Alice Cooper put it so eloquently, school may be out for summer, but it’s most certainly not forever. While kids are busy with summer activities and teachers are taking their much needed breaks, some of us have been busy. With our design help TCI, a K-12 publishing company, released their new online tools for students and teachers, primed and ready for the 2012-2013 school year.

We’re so very proud and excited to announce that our project with partners iKare has launched! An idea that was more than a year in the making, the FamilyLink connects families and friends to their loved ones through a device that shares photos, videos chats, messages, but more importantly provide an ease of mind.

For the past few months, we’ve been working with TCI, a K-12 publishing company, redesigning their online application for students and teachers with new features, pages, and interactions within a responsive design for classroom learning.
While the Glossary was not the most difficult to design, it looks like it’s been well received. You can see a sneak peek of it (and a few other changes) here and stay tuned – TCI launches their new online app June 30th, so expect a blog article highlighting some of the exciting new changes!

At this point, we’ve gone through the early stages of our design strategy by researching, sketching ideas, and making a paper prototype. We then extended that strategy phase into a development of a mobile prototype to help explain how each page would function on the site. It was now time to complete the user’s experience by adding visuals to complement that functionality. Thanks to the extra work we did in the beginning, we knew what we wanted to see, so the transition from our quick and dirty prototype to a finished user experience adding visual design elements was practically seamless.

In developing the Contiki mobile website, we thought it would be a good idea to provide them with a working prototype that they could actually click through on their mobile devices. Luckily, jQuery mobile was there to help make this a painless and useful process.

Over 10% of Contiki’s traffic is coming from mobile devices, with over 58% being iOS, but the mobile bounce rate of 8.25% is more than the site average.
Why? Well…

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to meet the people you’re about to tour across a country with before you leave?
