Bluetooth GPS for Mobile

March 21st, 2007 by Turn On

Tell you what I want, ever since I received my rather unexplored, and under appreciated, Sony Ericsson M600i I feel an urge kind of to buy a Bluetooth GPS (Global Positioning System ) transmitter.

The phone came bundled with some GPS Navigation Software - Webraska; and I read that if I plug the transmitter into my car and synch it up via Bluetooth with my mobile phone I can have, full on, Tom Tom like in car satnav ( satellite navigation ) on my mobile phone.

bluetooth gps on M600iNow it is not something crucial to my life, not even vaguely useful, but the idea does certainly please me. Currently I take a print of Google Maps if I am to find somewhere new and obscure though it appears that the people who build roads place markers which point in the correct direction of travel and hold a text message symbolising your required destination. Finding ones way is not really too hard.

Moreover, what are we, as human beings, getting like when we yearn for technological direction on the open road ? - One of the few remaining pursuits where one is expected to use all of ones faculties.

Trouble is, and with all consumerism you get a bee in your bonnet, you need some justification, and then you see a “buy now” button and you are suddenly waiting on a delivery.

So, Tom Tom - Sat Nav - GPS Bluetooth - whatever this little device is called - I will wire my dashboard up to the max and trip along to your gently cajoling tones as I meander my way to work and back.

Building a Website

March 4th, 2007 by Turn On

Planing

Taking a full technical brief and producing a planning document of all the functions and technical requirements of the site.
This stage involves heavy client consultation as well as thorough research into browsing habits, and likely website usage. We are able, at the end of this stage to determine the full and required functionality of all the site components.

Information Architecture

Produce a site map off every page on the site, including administration, user accounts, user tools etc
Also based upon research and feedback we will map out all the site pages which will be present at launch and as a part of the project. We will still build the site in a way that facilitates future expansion but it is important to envisage the hierarchy of the pages and the way in which the user will arrive at the critical point ( be it sale/ registration/ contact ) as smoothly as possible.


Wire frames and Page functions for all pages.

This, is taking the stages above and creating wireframes ( these are kind of plain text descriptions of the elements and information to be included in each and every site page). Once this stage is complete we will know exactly what information will be included on each page and how it will interact with each other page in turn. We will be effectively presenting the pages’ content without any visuals nor ( necessarily ) any indication of position on page.

Website design

Initially, following a design brief with the client/ agency we will produce designs for the client to give us feedback upon. The initial designs may be simple, but through an iterative process we will create graphic ( psd/ jpg format ) designs for each type of site page ( commonly 4-5 different layouts - though more in some cases). Once we have had a design sign off from the person responsible we can move on to creating HTML templates.

HTML Template Development

The psd’s are ‘cut up’ into their individual graphic components and the HTML is created driven by CSS Style Sheets. The process will create webpages which exactly represent the signed off designs. These templates are, during the process, tested on a variety of browsers and operating systems to ensure full compatibility and accessibility for all web users.

Website development

The HTML is now incorporated into the final website structure. Just as with component graphics; routines, forms, scripts and code are ‘cut up’ and assimilated to build a functional website. Extensive testing of all applications and functions are carried out during this phase.
