Mobile Website of the Week: DMX
For this week’s mobile website of the week, we noticed a prime example of a full featured event mobile website out of Austria. So if you don’t understand German or ‘Austro-Bavarian’ then we will still help with pointing out some of the finer points of this site.
Who they are: DMX (Digital Marketing Expo) is an Austrian exhibition held annually in Vienna, focused on the world of digital marketing.
What is unique about this site: A mobile website is an excellent event or conference communication tool. Listing the conference program, workshops, including a floor plan all prove very helpful. Moreover, what creates value is the interactive feedback forum related to the speaker slots. Setting up a mobile website is not just about creating a point of contact, and posting the agenda, but rather engaging with the conference presenters and visitors.
Where you can find the site: m.dmx-austria.at (Best viewed on a mobile phone.)
Why we like this site: Feedback, polling, and review buttons are great interaction tools to integrate into your site, providing valuable insight from those attending the conference. You can imagine for other SMB's how this can be applied in several creative ways to gather reviews from customers of a restaurant, example “How did you find our service?”

Mobile Website of the Week: OCPS
Who they are: OCPS is a career and technical education intuition, offering development in career training, online courses and workshops.
What is unique about this site: Has very sleek and polished navigation menu. This front page is a break from the overused drop down menus that are typical for mobile site. The checkerboard menu makes the navigation experience fun and engaging for those visiting the website.
Where you can find the site: http://m.reinventme.net (Best viewed on your mobile device)
Why we like it: Excellent usage of colors and creative menu navigation. More importantly, the usage of click to call feature, on the front page, is being accessible to their students.
