Mobile site redesign and companion website

Oh my, I fear that I am not quite certain exactly what I’m supposed to do for this week’s assignment. I was really hoping to get some feedback as to whether of not I did last week’s assignment correctly, and the assignment for this week is based off of that. Oh dear!
Well, here goes!

I did the Flash exercise: I made a portfolio site of different mixed drinks, with buttons. But WordPress doesn’t accept .swf files. Hmmm.

I did a redesign of my mobile site for www.united.com/mobile.

I added some Smart Applications and Clever Devices- it should be able to recognize the user and know which flights he will be on. So, with this redesign the site would tell the user what the weather is like at their destination. Also, it would be linked to their iCal. That way they could view their flight information and their travel plans (flights on time are in green, tours, meetings, etc.) all in one place. It would be ideal if it could also link up to GPS with their hotel and car rental reservations so the user could get directions to the hotel or to a car rental place and so that the hotel would know to keep the reservation if a flight is delayed.

Here is the companion website redesign that reflects these changes.

I kept all of the essentials from their current website www.united.com, but I moved some of the advertising and removed the sign in area. The information displayed would be user specific depending on their destination, their preferences, etc. The clever application could make this information more prominent as the user’s travel dates gets closer.
