Web 3.0 Design

A family-owned Florida biomedical waste disposal and treatment company
leverages W3C Compliant HTML5/CSS3 Semantic Web design to challenge industry
giants.

###

According to Cambridge Consultants, every day America's hospitals, clinics,
nursing homes, laboratories, funeral homes, physicians, dentists,
veterinarians, tattoo parlors and other sources of infectious biomedical
materials and "sharps" (i.e. used needles, lancets and other devices capable
of penetrating skin) produce at least 66,000 tons of medical waste. In
Florida alone, United Medical Industries ("UMI") Vice President Marlene Yero
estimates there are more than 40,000 such medical waste generators, all of
whom are required by law to adhere to stringent biomedical waste management
and disposal practices designed to protect their employees and the public
from serious infection and harm. And providing that growing market with
comprehensive medical waste management solutions is the focus of
UmiWaste.com, UMI's recently launched Web 3.0 ready and iPad 2 accessible
website.

Founded in 2002 by medical waste management industry pioneer Carlos Campos,
United Medical Industries is a full service biomedical waste disposal
enterprise headquartered in Miami, Florida. His sister Marlene Campos Yero
is actively involved in the operations of the company, as is brother-in-law
Jose Yero who serves as UMI's hands-on President. With the standards-based
and high-visibility Semantic Web design of UmiWaste.com, the family-owned
enterprise looks to leverage increased online exposure to expand their share
of the Florida medical waste transport and disposal market by providing
competitively affordable reliability in an industry where regional
acquisitions by corporate giants threaten monopoly. "Through our expanding
web, search and social media presence," Marlene Yero stated, "we will not
only educate our customers about the dangers of improperly handling medical
waste, but also keep them informed about the realities of the medical waste
solutions marketplace."

Styled by Miami web designer WebReDesignMiami.com with front-end development
by Web3.0DesignMiami.com using dynamic PHP scripting and consisting entirely
of Flash-free tableless HTML5/CSS3 source, every web page at UmiWaste.com
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 Javascript-free, CSS-only vertical navigation panel with
animated teasers, a jQuery-driven expandable footer, selectable PHP random
relevant image displays, and PNG gradients for backgrounds and overlays.
Custom jQuery/Javascript programming also drives page load/unload and image
hover animations. User experience is enhanced by providing all forms with
auto-focus and auto-scroll functionality, and all pages offer medical waste
twitter, an RSS newsfeed and social media integration. Also, every web page
has been verified accessible using not only the latest versions of all five
major web browsers (Firefox, Explorer, Chrome, Opera and Safari) but also by
Flash-free user agents like the new Apple iPad 2 tablet computer, of which
TechReviews.net says almost 1 million units were sold in the first 2 days of
its introduction. Like the iPad 2, UmiWaste.com was designed with utility in mind. And so
far, UMI President Jose Yero seems happy with the delivery: "From the
outset Bruce Arnold was instrumental in helping us redesign our drab,
outdated and unproductive website. He provided us with guidelines to
simplify the web development process, and led us through it all step by
step. He was professional in conduct and stayed on top of the project to
assure that it was completed on schedule. We appreciate his high level of
web marketing expertise, and we're very pleased with the results!"
