Sunshine Auto Insurance Miami Launches South Florida Web 3.0
Car Insurance Quote Portal
How a regional multi-carrier auto insurance agency maximizes online quote accessibility with iPad-Ready W3C-Compliant HTML5/CSS3 Semantic Web design
According to the Property Casualty Insurance Association of America, Florida motorists as a group pay the second highest auto liability insurance premiums in the nation, and the latest Consumer Price Index indicates motor vehicle insurance rates will not be exempt from inflation.  Fortunately however, safe drivers as well as motorists with less than perfect records can still save money by comparing multiple carriers and coverages, and save time by shopping for the best insurance values online.  And for South Florida drivers, the recently-launched SunshineAuto-InsuranceMiami.com website leverages Semantic Web technologies to make all that a one-stop process.

Styled by Miami web designer WebReDesignMiami.com with front-end development by Web3.0DesignMiami.com using PHP for LAMP and consisting entirely of Flash-free tableless HTML5/CSS3 source, every web page on the site passes all seven tests of "Web 3.0 Readiness".  These include not only basic tests of W3C compliance as to content and format but also behavior, accessibility, semantics, syndication and links.  The hand-coded custom template features a fixed-position header along with PNG gradients for both backgrounds and overlays.  For pages with extended content, this is coupled with a custom-developed jQuery "scroll and jump" control panel which assures cross-browser functionality by avoiding the Mobile Safari (i.e. iPad) CSS scroll glitch.  Custom jQuery/Javascript programming also drives page load/unload, footer overlay and image hover animations.  Site navigation is Javascript-free, and the user experience is enhanced with safe driving twitter, auto insurance newsfeeds and social media integration.  Also notable is that every web page has been verified accessible using not only the latest versions of all five major web browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera and Safari) but also by Flash-free user agents like the iPad tablet computer, which Apple projects will represent a user base of over 70 million by yearend.
