First Mobile Web site for a Utility in Florida

After much testing, following the September launch of m.tampaelectric.com, Tampa Electric’s new mobile Web site, I felt it was high-time I posted the accomplishment here. The design, production and launch of this mobile site has been a year-long goal for me and I finally carved out the time in the schedule to meet this goal. Tampa Electric, a fairly conservative company, is usually a wait-and-see type culture as opposed to a “lets be the first and lead” when it comes to communication. However, this seemed to be an easy sell — from my boss, all the way through the executive board, everyone agreed that this was a great idea. Lucky for me as this was tied to my performance review goals and rating.

NickFranceDesign.com has a mobile web site as well. A different URL is not needed to access it as it utilizes a WordPress plugin called WordPress Mobile Edition. If you browse to this site on your mobile, you will be served the mobile edition by default. If you want to browse the full site, just scroll to the bottom of any page and click “Exit Mobile Edition.”
