Infinity Ink

When you have an exciting product like E-Paper, it only makes sense you should have an exciting site to tell people about it! That's exactly what Infinity Ink needed, and we were happy to offer our services.

The new website sports a hand-drawn look with a healthy dose of Flash implemented to breath life into the pages. In addition to a few decorative touches, the crucial Flash element lies in the concept animations which allow the user (and potential investor) to witness and better understand the implications of this technology. Chaotic yet controlled, Infinity Ink's site introduces E-Paper to the world in style!

Components:

Teams at Work

For a charity so devoted to helping others, it only makes sense someone should help them once in a while! Teams at Work has always had a great message, but their website in charge of communicating this message was in great need of an overhaul.

The new site features a colorful look that emphasizes a much more clean and usable site structure than its predecessor. This, in combination with an accessible fluid layout and contact form, ensures that the information Teams at Work's site provides its users isn't lost in translation.

Components:

iRent2u

Sometimes you just get a good idea. That's what the founders of iRent2u got when they decided to build an Online Rental Marketplace modelled after prior success stories like eBay.

We were called in to handle not only the design of the breakthrough web application, but also the implementation. Built on our proprietary Rapid Application Development framework, we coded the entire site from scratch. Noteworthy features include the ability to lend, rent, and search for items, browse items by location using the Google Maps API, add favorite items and users, complex inline messaging and item availability systems, an administrative back-end, and much, much more.

Components:

• Graphic Design
• XHTML / CSS
• Javascript / JQuery

Karma Nova

In the sea of endless acronyms and tasteless animated GIFs, sometimes online communities seem to be desperately in need of a little class.

Enter Karma Nova, a site which invites you to discuss and debate any topic you'd like, as long as it remains within the realm of sophisticated, intelligent discussion. Built on the powerful Drupal Content Management System, the site is packed with features including personal member blogs, message boards, and even a support wiki. Social networking features like user profiles and an inline messaging system, combined with an elegant custom theme, ensure that Karma Nova feels less like a website, and more like a home.

Montego Networks

In the complex world of network security, you always have to be on the one step ahead. Hot on the heels of announcing the world's first Virtual Security Switch at RSA 2008, Montego Networks just needed a website to promote their company breakthrough.

The site we designed and built for them features a new company logo, product information and videos, contact forms, randomly-generated expert opinions, news stories, and much more. Most importantly, running on the Drupal CMS ensures that Montego are able to update any of the content on their site directly, allowing them to always deliver the latest product developments straight to their clients.

Amberwood Association

The neighborhood association of Amberwood, a community in Dekalb County, had a problem: they wanted their website to be a dynamic gateway for their residents, yet it hadn't been updated for the better part of a decade.

But problems were made to be solved, and A Small Orange is helping them finally achieve their vision. Also built on the Drupal CMS, the new website allows the association to post community news, events and more with an easy-to-use administrative back-end. The residents get to share in the interactive experience too, with the ability to post their own pictures, classifieds, and even discuss all the happenings with their neighbors on the site message board.

SMN News

SMNnews.com had always been among the top hard rock/metal webzines, but their design was beginning to show its years. As such, we were brought in to help SMN get up-to-date with the latest technologies. First, we began by creating a clean graphic design and used it to create a theme for Wordpress, a blogging engine. Then, we imported all their existing data into Wordpress, making it very simple for administrators to create, edit, and manage all content on the site.

We also wanted to create a way to have one unified login system for both Wordpress and the 100+ vBulletin forums hosted at SMN. With some creative thinking, and some PHP knowledge, we managed to bridge the two allowing both commenting and posting under a single username. Finally, we re-tooled the advertisement system to work with the new design and upgraded a few components (MySQL, PHP, OpenAds, vBulletin).

Gentleman Gourmand

We were approached with the task of redesigning a food enthusiast's blog for his premiere on the Food Network show, The Hungry Detective. The site features restaurant reviews, food findings, topical musings, and more. After creating a graphical overhaul for the site, we programmed the new layout using XHTML and CSS.

This template was then infused into Typepad in order to have it seamlessly work with the already existing blog information. Finally, we touched it off with some Javascript, image optimization, and cross-browser testing before the site was officially launched.
