Examples of Our Work
We spend most of our time working with design and marketing teams across the country. The amount of information we may disclose is often limited due to the nature of these partnerships. We have provided summaries of several selected (recent) projects, but we often have additional information available upon request.
| Title: | Cushing-Engr.com |
|---|---|
| Client: | Don Cushing Associates |
| Server: | Windows / IIS |
| Languages: | css, xhtml, php, javascript |
| Tools: | mootools |
| Address: | www.cushing-engr.com |
Don Cushing Associates needed a new web presence - something that would look more professional, allow them additional room to describe the company and projects, and an improved system for displaying project photos.
We worked with DCA staff to develop a unique navigation system that would match their newest brochure design, yet would be suitible for use on the web.

| Title: | English360 Recurring Billing |
|---|---|
| Client: | English360 |
| Server: | Linux / Apache |
| Languages: | php |
| Tools: | CakePHP |
| Address: | www.english360.com |
We worked with English360 to develop a new recurring billing feature that will allow users to signup for services as well as E360 staff to manage those subscriptions.
Users will be able to view their account status and history upon login, as well as upgrade and cancel their account entirely from the E360 website. We utilize Payflow Pro, a payment gateway service offered by Paypal and integrated our pre-existing classes with the original CakePHP application design.- + Read about this project
| Title: | Manor Homes CMS |
|---|---|
| End Client: | Manor Homes |
| Server: | Linux / Apache |
| Languages: | php 5, mysql |
| Tools: | n/a |
| Address: | www.mymanorhome.com |
MyManorHome.com had plenty of recurring changes for their currently available property page. Rather than having someone modify the website each time we went in and created a custom content management system. The system allows their staff to easily add, edit, and remove neighborhoods as well as properties within them.
Managing these property listing has never been easier with fields for description, price, agent contact information, price, and a easy image management tool.

| Title: | AMB Property Corporation |
|---|---|
| End Client: | AMB Property Corporation |
| Server: | Linux / Apache |
| Languages: | php 5, xml, javascript |
| Tools: | n/a |
| Address: | www.amb.com |
AMB was a difficult project that remained extremely entertaining throughout. Due to unusual circumstances we were unable to utilize any database systems, so we had to invent an XML-based method for storing property data, picture associations, contact information, etc. The project was already limited by the fact that it was designed to run on IIS, the Microsoft web server. Creating the search feature was an additional obstacle as we had to write a custom content indexing system that would also use our new XML storage system.
AMB also had to support multiple languages so we worked closely with the design team to ensure that translations were easy to manage. We use only a single set of page design templates, and languages are pulled in dynamically when a page is requested. It makes design changes as well as language management extremely easy.

| Title: | SKB Investor Reports & CMS |
|---|---|
| End Client: | ScanlanKemperBard Companies |
| Server: | Linux / Apache |
| Languages: | php 4, javascript |
| Tools: | mysql, tinyMCE |
| Address: | www.skbcos.com |
Part one of this project involved creating a custom content management system that allowed administrators to add news items, press releases, PDF files, as well as articles. tinyMCE was used as the content editing tool and php/mysql handled the back-end.
Part two of this project involved creating a collection of php scripts that parse and import data from HTML reports of various investment accounts. Investors may login using personal account information and are able to view the reports securely. Our portion of this project involved php and mysql, as well as security improvements to the server and the application itself.

| Title: | MySquibbles.com |
|---|---|
| End Client: | Botsko.net, LLC |
| Server: | Linux / Apache |
| Languages: | php 4, xhtml, css, js, ajax/xhr, xml |
| Tools: | mysql, prototype, scriptaculous |
| Address: | www.mysquibbles.com |
Squibbles is a community which allows parents and teachers to share links to the best places on the internet for children. Squibbles is a project that began in July 2006 and was finally released in September, 2006. The design and layout was developed from a color scheme laid out by a fellow designer. In just over a month we took it from concept to screen.
Squibbles is an excellent example of our attention to usability design, function design, and programming practices. When a project is well planned and those working on it have the proper amount of experience, the project stays on track, within time-frames, and within (or under) budget.- + Read about this project
| Title: | Subscription Center |
|---|---|
| End Client: | VersionTracker.com |
| Server: | Linux / Apache |
| Languages: | xhtml, css |
| Tools: | n/a |
| Address: | [click to visit] |
In 2006 we were contracted to handle design modifications to VersionTracker.com, TechTracker.com, and MacFixIt.com. Most of it involved updating existing designs and working on new ideas for larger upcoming changes. One direct example of our design work is the new purchase tool (available at the link above). We worked with the designer to create a simple, breadcrumb-based navigation system.
We worked on ensuring cross-browser compatibility with each page as the developer completed each step in the process. Since we had control over the markup of this tool from it's creation we worked towards a valid, semantic markup base. We relied on conditional comments to ensure that the then-in-beta IE7 would work properly as well it's predecessor IE6. We replaced a hefty javascript with a css trick to ensure IE6 would observe proper min-width css definitions.- + Read about this project
