Our Nantucket

the Site

Our Nantucket's goal was to be a portal for local business to advertise specials and events.

the Challenge

The site was built on the principal of pulling information from business' Twitter feeds. This challenge was easily met with Drupal's Feed API and Taxonomy. The real challenge was the design which mimicked iGoogle.

the Finish

With some clever theming and a custom version of Home Box we were able to provide the ground work for the site.

January, 2010

interactiveQA

the Site

interactive QA is partner that we often work with. Despite the name, they offer a number of web services from development to optimization to design.

the Challenge

After having done so much work with our friends at interactiveQA, it only made sense to help with the makeover. The site was already running on Drupal, so we started off with the usual suite of updates and chose a new base theme. The only real challenge was time.

the Finish

We dressed up interactiveQA, got their portfolio started, and had fun doing it.

the Site

Warriors Paintball is the local paintball field found in Batavia, NY.

the Challenge

As with many local businesses, Warriors lacked any branding or web presence.

the Finish

Warriors has remained successful and now has an online presence that allows players to organize events and print field documentation.

Abyss Gate

the Site

AbyssGate.com was a news hub for the popular MMORPG Aion. The idea sprung from the WoW Unity site which is a resource for World of Warcraft blogs, podcasts, etc. Abyss Gate was intended as an expansion on that concept by automatically pulling in various web content and displaying it to users while, at the same time, directing traffic to the proper sources. It would serve as a dynamic and interactive directory for all web media concerning Aion.

RAND COMPARE

RAND focuses on healthcare reform. randcompare.org is a site developed to compare healthcare policies and legislation.

Genesee Building Products

Genesee Building Products is a building product manufacturer located in Stafford, NY.

This site was completed as part of my first internship while attending Saint John Fisher. It also marked my first foray into the realm of freelance-type work. Working alone, I brought GBP from ground zero (absolutely no web presence) to having their full catalog of products online. That means handling everything from web hosting, to choosing a proper CMS (content management system), to styling and doing custom development needed.
