Doane Mobile

The Doane Mobile website was created as part of my senior project for the Information Systems degree I earned in 2010. It was intended for audiences using mobile devices to access essential information on the Doane College website.

As part of this project, there was a large amount of planning, collaboration and documentation. This included collaborating with the college Information Technology department and Marketing department to make sure that the project aligned with the organization’s values and needs. A comprehensive plan was put together detailing all the work required.

This website used JavaScript to detect what device the user was browsing the website from (iPhone, BlackBerry, webOS, Android, etc.). Once it detected the platform, it would apply the corresponding CSS style sheet. The website was tested on each of the platforms using simulators that would run on a computer. The site was modified to get each platform to view correctly. The information was pulled from other sources using the Microsoft .NET framework.
