As the premier island destination in California, Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce understood the importance of having a mobile friendly website available to their visitors. First, Trinet’s team of mobile specialists discussed mobile strategies and provided recommendations to Catalina Island that would improve users’ mobile viewing experiences. Trinet’s strategic recommendations for Catalina Island included elements such as rebuilding the site’s Flash-based map so that it would be viewable on all iOS devices, as well as redesigning the home screen to be thumb-friendly for touch screen users. Trinet’s team of designers and developers then worked to create a beautiful mobile site for Catalina Island that met all of their objectives.
The final product is a mobile version of Catalina Island’s website, optimized for use on the most recent versions of iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry devices. The custom architecture and design of the new mobile site reflect a similar look and feel to Catalina Island’s normal website with the addition of new elements to maximize user experience, including custom iconography and thumb-friendly sized buttons. The new mobile site serves as a valuable resource for travelers planning their island adventures and excursions, providing helpful information based on relevant categories including Dining, Activities, Lodging, Events, Hot Deals, Packages, Transportation, and Shopping.
