Process
Our process begins with a concept review phase, where our team meets yours to define a set of project requirements that we will translate to a written specification.
The design exploration and wireframe phase presents several design options to reach an approved look and feel. When the design has been chosen, and the detailed specification completed, we finalize the implementation plan and move ahead to production.
The production phase consists of two milestone deliveries, Alpha and Beta, each providing a review and revision period, as we refine the product for the final Master delivery. We test your product in our lab at every step of the process to ensure technical compatibility and user satisfaction before your audience sees it.

Websites

Technology
Most websites we develop are a hybrid of Flash and HTML. Flash is the web standard for delivery of rich media and graphics but HTML allows your site to be seen by internet search engines. Additionally we may enlist a dedicated SEO (Search Engine Optimization) service to ensure your site is noticed.

Dynamic Search Tools
This website provides search tools and information to locate New Jersey catholic schools in southern New Jersey. Users may search by zip code, alphabetical list, or use an interactive map to identify pre-kindergarten and k-8 catholic schools in specific locales.

E-Commerce
A total e-commerce storefront and transaction handler that also includes user community features like a message board, dynamic gig calendar, and news blog. The entire site is managed by a custom content editing system that can be accessed from any internet connection, anywhere in the world. This is especially useful for traveling musicians like David.

Enterprise Solution
A good example of a complete enterprise solution. This website, presented in a monthly magazine/journal format features custom content editing tools to deliver the latest news. Additionally, a worldwide intranet portal links the entire Alliance scientific community.

Virtual Workshop
A business management tool delivered in a website format. Features include a virtual workshop, interactive case studies, and a downloadable business planning tool kit.

Rich Media
An excellent example of rich media delivery enabled by Flash. The site welcomes the user into Bruce's world of art, books, movies, and life, while also enabling him to keep the site a living, breathing experience with a complete content management system designed for easy site updates on the fly.

Content Management
Custom Content Management allows you to edit your content via a simple web interface from any internet-enabled computer. No special software or programming knowledge required.

Custom Design
We designed this site to showcase Victoria's work in interior design and furniture design. A simple, elegant presentation keeps the work at the center of attention. The back-end content management system makes image and text updates easy.

Stuff
Happy Holidays 2007!
Happy holidays to all of us, each and every one. Happy holidays to all of us, each and every one. Happy holidays to all of us, each and every one. Happy holidays to all of us, each and every one. Happy holidays to all of us, each and every one. Happy holidays to all of us, each and every one.
Healthy Body
One of many animated music videos produced to compliment interactive learning exercises for an award-winning educational software line. Typically, a single animator will turn one of these fun-filled cartoons around in a matter of weeks using a provided music rough cut for timing. The finished soundtrack is often delivered in the final week, leaving the animator just enough time for edits and a little extra squash & stretch for punctuation. It's often many more weeks after completion before the song stops playing in the animators head.
Acme Hospital
This stylish combination of illustration & Flash is a nice alternative to full frame animation or video.
Happy Holidays!
Artgig's 2005 Happy Holidays interactive e-card.
Happy Holidays to all of us, each and every one!
Video Puzzle
Your standard tile-puzzle, but using video instead. It's extra challenging to re-arrange the tiles this way!
Connect the Dots
Um... connect the dots, in Flash. The next step would be to have a wide variety of shapes, perhaps themed to a particular site, to choose from. Also showcased here is a sample of "scratchy", irregular lines, which are generated programatically to look hand drawn - no two lines will be the same.
Doodle
An experiment in programatically generated doodles. Everything is drawn through ActionScript.
Roses
An experiment in drawing with code in Flash. These roses are constructed entirely with ActionScript.
