■■ The design was initially deployed in HTML5 and CSS3. The CSS framework USA “Compass” was used to meet one of the client's major requirements – top-level performance. Compass converts images as well as fonts into a compressed 64-bit code – meaning pictures and fonts no longer need to be downloaded individually from the browser Deployed Technologies

■■ When changing from the earlier HP Palm developer platform to the present one, several thousand content pages needed to be migrated. AOE solved this task with a customized content migrator. After a one-time configuration, content is migrated at the click of a button, with few post-migration adjustments needed

■■ At “My Apps”, webOS developers can access a password-protected area. Here, apps can be submitted directly to HP and also managed. At this point developers leave the TYPO3 environment; AOE developed a separate concept to integrate the solution with the actual developer portal, creating the impression of a uniform portal – the navigation bar at the top and the footer remain in place

Result The new webOS developer portal provides high levels of performance and technology, with significant potential for future customization, while giving the editorial team complete control over the content and its organization.
