Websites we have helped create
For awhile, we’ve been meaning to list some of the projects we’ve worked on during the last 9 years. We have handled either the design work or the programming (sometimes both) on several dozen websites. Here are a few:
The Second Road – currently our largest ongoing client. Design on this project included the development of a complex user interface, graphics development, marketing and programming of the online social network layer.
Bethel Hospital – design work.
Peidmont Housing Alliance – design work.
Dave Zulinke – design work.
Dream Spiral Art – design work, plus a custom backend content management system, to allow the upload and organization of art.
iHanuman – programming for ihanuman. The most interesting part of this site was the video store we developed. Written mostly in PHP, which feeds data through to the video player, which is written in Flash (the Flash programming was by the talented Starrie Williamson).
Monkeyclaus – for the same client who owns iHanuman. We took the code from iHanuman and added an online social network layer, so users can recommend their favorite music to each other. Then we added an affiliate program, so that each user of the site can set up a “store”, full of their own favorites, and they get to keep 1% of what is sold from the store where they recommend the work.
Bluewall – programming, especially of the RSS feed aggregators, which actually just feed off of Yahoo Pipes, but which then offer custom HTML for a designer to design as they wish. Also, Laura created some Flash animations for the site.
RawStory – we did some backend cleanup for RawStory in the summer of 2007. Tragically, they would not take our advice (clean up the look, have less ads) and their traffic has been in decline for almost 2 years now.
Ralph Krubner – design work, plus a Javascript powered slide show.
American Shakespeare – some programming work, such as the calendar (this was when one of us worked at Category4.com).
Accumulist – we handled all of the programming for this site. Sadly, the website was never finished. The project was abandoned despite a long list of known bugs. The site was made public in 2005 and was meant to compete with Digg and del.icio.us.
Martha Ambrose – a site devoted to the work of the late artist Martha Ambrose. Full design of the site, plus a custom content management system to allow the owner of the site add additional photos as he sees fit.
So Very Virginia, some programming, to give members of the site an ability to edit their own info (this was when one of us was working at Category4.com).
Architextiles – some design work, some photography, some photo clean up, some programming.
Brenda Rawls – programming of custom content management system to enable staff to control the site.
Wintergreen Performing Arts – programming for a custom content management system that gives WPA staff full control over the site.
AudioLunchbox – system administration, database recovery and programming for new payment options.
My Blue Pie Music - created a backend to automate the intake of new material (images, songs, albums) to the database. Backend used the Symfony framework. Client was the Australian firm Blue Pie.
