Jul10The Tim Ferriss Follow Up

Regular blog readers will remember that I was lucky enough to get to meet Tim Ferriss a few months back.

We are very pleased to say, that after a long period of consultation and development (working with a partner design agency) our work on the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA, a government agency website) is now live at www.mcga.gov.uk.

OC Vision worked within the boundaries of Government standards to develop the XHTML and CSS, allowing the in-house web team to plug the delivered templates into their own Content Management System.

OC Vision were challenged with designs, not typical for a Gov agency, that needed to be compliant to the latest website standards.

Our customers are often sailing, and racing on the seas covered by the MCA, so it’s nice to see our work delivering to an often undervalued emergency service.
