The world’s largest online retailer contracted us a year ago to add interactive and dynamic elements to their otherwise static site. Working within the strict technical and business constraints of the site, we created a variety of tools and techniques for site editors to easily build and add engaging interactive features so that the experience of the site better reflects the dynamic nature of the products.

Given the success of our work, we are now working to produce a streamlined version of the tools we have designed to be used by a wider audience within the company.

Digital ad agency, Deep Focus, brought us in to develop the plans for Microsoft Bing’s Earth Day Photo Contest website. School children can submit nature photos which are then voted upon, the winning photo then becoming the background image on the bing.com home page. Working within the strict COPPA guidelines of what is allowed on website for children, we created the user experience and information architecture plans for a competitive yet friendly environment with resources for teachers and students to both find out more about Earth Day, the photo contest, and social networking abilities to make voting and sharing so simple even a kindergärtner could do it.
