WebCompass Summer 2013 Projects
In summer 2013, the Lavin Entrepreneurship Center took on two exciting web projects. Both projects redesigned a website to match a client’s needs and we also optimized them in search engines. If you are interested in having your organization's website developed or updated, please contact Bernhard Schroeder at bschroeder@mail.sdsu.edu or 619-594-2162.
Ocean Aero
Ocean Aero is solving the ocean observation challenges for the military, scientific, security, and oil and gas communities throughout the world. They designed a highly ruggedized surface & sub-surface vessel: the Submaran, powered by wind and solar, capable of several months at sea that can be deployed from land, sea or air. Ocean Aero worked with the Lavin Entrepreneurship Center to redesign their website in order to highlight the work they are doing in developing the next generation in unmanned ocean systems.
