Neve Designs

Patrick Maun — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:12:00 +0000

Whew, what a project. We took a small site and blew it up to the big leagues. Our friends over at Brew asked us to help them with premiere apparel manufacturer Neve Designs. In addition to making some great clothing, they kit out the US Olympic Ski and Snowboard teams. Neat. Moving from an outdated proprietary ecommercce system, we moved them to the 20th century and a massive Magento site that includes not one, but two languages (Jawohl mein Schatz!) and three distinct shops. This was quite the undertaking with close to 2,200 SKU’s! We love how it turns out, and as soon as we get some sleep we’ll write up an extensive case study. Promise.

Solve

Solve is a new advertising and branding firm made up of some veterans of some great campaigns. They asked us to create something unique for that that would highlight their work and introduce their new endeavor to the world. So that’s what we did. The site moves away from same-old same-old everyone else in the industry is doing. Using a mural of stills and motion we their awesome work upfront right where it belongs. As with all our projects, it designed to expand and grow as they do.

Sweeney Brothers

Joe Sweeney and Sweeney Brothers Millwork do some great design work. Joe wanted a slick site to start showing off the talent to potential clients, contractors and architects. The site has been designed to grow as the company does. Which judging by the work they do, it will be exponentially.

This is one of those great little brand-focused sites that we love doing. If you have a similar small company and are looking to get your brand message out there, drop us a line.

Ikaati

Ikaati asked us to create a site as elegant and luxurious as their line of high-end teas for the spa and resort market. We think our art direction and design knocks all the other pots in this category to the floor.

Nicros

This site hasn't even launched yet, but we're so excited about it we're showing a couple sneak-peaks. Nicros makes kick-ass climbing wall systems and indoor climbing handholds. They came to us looking for a total redesign of their branding and eCommerce site. The site is huge - close to 100 training articles alone not to mention hundreds of climbing holds and other pieces of gear in the climbing shop. We created a slick Wordpress/Magento hybrid that combines the best of both system but also makes for a great, stable and easy to use CMS. This site is going to rock. Enjoy the preview! We'd love to create a comprehensive site like this for your company.

Dotopia

Dotopia is a great company creating a new model of philanthropic giving. We were really excited to work with them and our friends over at Spunk Design Machine to craft this lovely little website that introduces the world to Dotopia. One of the big roles for this site is as a on-locating branding tool. To this end, we created the site to be fully mobile-aware. Navigate to the site with your shiny new iPad2 and the animation expands to fullscreen to give you the full, high-quality Dotopia story.

Ames Outdoor Adventure

Patrick Maun — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 18:16:18 +0000

Ames Adventure Outfitters is a Manufacturers’ Representative for top quality indoor & outdoor clothing and equipment, water proofing supplies, packs, tents, solar and monitoring devices, trail running, approach, and mountaineering shoes/boots, socks, and other accessories. Brands they represent include Marmot, Scrapa, Burt’s Bee’s, Osprey and many more. Outdoor brand representatives are the link between brands, retailers and the brands’ communities. They are the feet on the ground at trade shows, stores and events. Strangely, no brand reps had up until now created a site to speak to their different communities. We approached AAO with the idea for creating a site based on their social media communications from their many social media channels. This included communication from their brands, their individual brand blogs, and their own travel and event blogs.

Hip Hooray

Patrick Maun — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 17:38:05 +0000

Hip Hooray creates smart celebration gear. Think renewable and reusable party gear. They came to us with a unique challenge. Could we help them create a branded user experience using Network Solutions built-in eCommerce solution? We were able to complete rebuild the NS templates from the ground up to give the customer a cohesive user experience.

Paul Thissen 2010

Patrick Maun — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:06:56 +0000

Paul Thissen is in Minnesota House of Representatives and is minority speaker. We created a website for his campaign that combined the best of social media, rich media and news aggregation. We created an extensive video library pulling from Paul’s many video channels. News was aggregated from social media, RSS feeds and Paul’s own news updates. The site included the ability to volunteer for the campaign and to donate.

D’Amico Kitchen Video Blog

Patrick Maun — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:39:51 +0000

We created this video blog with our friends at Brew Creative. A really fun project that has been receiving a lot of attention from publications including the New York Times, Creativity Online, the Start Tribune and many others. Chef John Occhiato is the executive chef at the new D’Amico flagship restaurant D’Amico Kitchen. By giving him a video blog in addition to the nightly live kitchen video feed, we’re able to form a connection with existing and potential customers.
