CUFI Mobile
Goals
To produce an up-to-date application to deliver CUFI.org content to mobile device users in a custom format, and to keep users notified of new content as it becomes available.
Challenges
There was no real design direction for the project. The source content was to be aggregated from several WordPress websites using a custom API to mine the data as it became available.
Deadlines
Project scope was initially set with a three month deadline. However, changes in requirements extended this to six months.
Notifications
CUFI Mobile is not simply intended to provide web content to users. When users install the app, they are enrolled for notifications that allow them to be kept up to date with new content, mobile specific content, and information relevant to where they live. If users opt-in to receive policy alerts, they will also be notified of issues that are important within their own congressional districts.
Constant Contact
When users volunteer for more targeted notifications, CUFI is able to contact those users at a moment’s notice when important legislation is before Congress. CUFI Mobile users are provided with Capital Hill contact information for representatives from their congressional district.
