As in the real world browsing using a clearly labeled system on the web just works. Think about it, any shop such as a music store clearly labels rack space either by product or genre and it’s quick to find what you are after. Supermarkets do this great as well by hanging large signs above the aisles so you know where to go and if it’s not quite right just look up again and you know where to go next.
FHOKE will be appearing at Geek’nRolla today alongside Park Lane Champagne who are supplying personlised champagne to the event. We helped the guys out with a new design to their site and personlised the events bottles. Geek’nRolla is sponsored this year by Viadeo one of the largest professional social networks in the world, and supported by UK Trade and Investment, as well as NESTA, the National Endowment for Science, Technology & the Arts. They are also being supported by their strategic partner, School for Startups. And not only will they be enjoying a great lineup of tech startups, they are planning on the mother of all evening networking parties at one of London’s premier venues, Cafe de Paris.
After several months with the iPhone (I know we were late in the game to getting some, damn blackberry) we thought it be a good idea to share with you some of the best sites around “optimised” for the iPhone.
One clear factor in designing a site for the iPhone has become apparent… well thought out structure. You can pimp it up all you like but if it’s not clear to navigate (after all your dealing with a smaller resolution) and easy to use then don’t bother. If your good at web site design then the tranisition to iPhone will be a breeze and you’ll probably find it fun. Designing to 1024 these days can become pretty samey.
When the iPhone was introduced it was a revolutionary mobile device that took the market by storm. Now in its second incarnation (a third rumored for the summer) it is now being replicated in some of its functions by all the major mobile manufacturers in a bid to either claw back some of Apple’s market share or improve on it. The real potential for this device became apparent though when the app store was opened. These apps take the iPhone from being a really great mobile into a device that can become virtually anything you need it to be.
Free stuff always comes in handy. We’ve given away fonts, icons and some shamelessly self promoting iPhone wallpapers, and to promote ourselves that bit more we are giving away another freebie with 3 Free Desktop Wallpapers. If you have any further suggestions for some Friday Freebies please don’t hesitate to share them with us by emailing the team.
