Showcase

General

Pixie Market is the 24/7 online fashion supermarket for fashionistas everywhere. The site was designed and built based on Magento Community platform.
Young Adult Ministry in a Box is a subsribers-only, paywall web site aimed at church and community activists seeking to establish young adult parishes. For this challenging and interesting project, we designed both web and mobile WordPress themes, e-mail communications, as well as provided all necessary development services.
Founded in 2012, Mostly Grace launched a t-shirt line that rapidly gained loyal fans looking for a seamless blend of luxe and casual. To grow their business online, the company approached us to design and build a Magento-based e-commerce web site and blog. Having at our disposal gorgeous product photography, we centered the site’s design around it, letting it become the main selling point. On the development side, we built the site on Magento Community Edition to save the client money in annual service fees and expenses.
Peter Bergen is a print and television journalist and author; the director of the national security studies program at the New America Foundation in Washington D.C.; a research fellow at New York University's Center on Law and Security and CNN's national security analyst. We redesigned Peter's site
A TV broadcaster whose programs and channels reach more than six million homes throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, RNN had asked us to re-organize and re-design its website, RNNtv.com. The main goal of the project was to focus the site's design on strengths of RNN's broadcasting capabilities and its delivery methods of news and talk programing. With that goal in mind we organized design of the site's main page around a carousel element giving the viewer an interactive walk through.
Design and development of Leonidov.com, web site of a prominent Russian architecture firm setting out on establishing a strong global presence. The project included building out English (pilot) version of the site, soon to be followed by Russian and Spanish sites. To meet these requirements, the site was developed in Drupal, using multi-site approach, thus allowing the client to update all three versions from the same CMS.
With 40,000 worldwide placements, Mondo is the undisputed leader in providing IT and marketing departments of the world's most prestigious companies with the most critical resource: people. We've redesigned and built Mondo.com using Drupal CMS.
