Conscious Alliance

Conscious Alliance is a long term non-profit client that focuses on spreading good vibes- through utilizing concert events to fund and promote awareness of food banks and food drives for the underprivileged.

This newly designed and developed site strives to add community and social network focus to the Conscious Alliance cause along with a shiny new look and feel. An re-integrated custom e-commerce solution features a simple backend management toolset to organize and sort posters and their prices, a front-end poster gallery with an in-page ordering system, and options to make recurring donations through a secure payment gateway.

Lookin’ sharp and working great- nice work guys!

Launch: PharoahMoan Productions

PharoahMoan Products

When long term friends and work associates Pharoahmoan Productions contacted me to help produce the next phase of their site, I said “of course!”. PMP focus on entertainment marketing within the alternative music community from event planning and venue locating to act booking and DJ resources.

Since our last collaboration took place in 2005, it was far time to give the PMP site a revamp. The new version features a brand new design crafted to meet new markets and screen sizes, an easy-to-update content management system and expandability for future services.

Still a few gaps to fill in, but a fabulous improvement, congrats guys! Check out the case study under my Interactive section.

HTML5 Standard by 2014?

HTML5

A new article posted on CNET’s “Deep Tech” section outlines the W3C’s plans for officially making HTML5 the standard web language by 2014. Enforcing this standard may be tough since the W3C is more like the UN- lots of consensus but no real power.

HTML5 has some great new toolsets built specifically for new “web 2.0″ applications- easy forms and social implementation and a lot of universal built-in coding for video; so much that a lot of plugin aps are going to be a thing of the past. Sorry, Flash and Quicktime.

While I’ve dabbled with HTML5, without that compliance component, I feel the benefits are currently lacking. The same issues I have making my code work with every possible piece of web tech out there could potentially still exist with HTML5 if not every browser accepts it (or if folks don’t update). Fortunately I think the future date will give people plenty of time to upgrade their systems.

World Orphans

Another great collaboration with my associates, Mindflint Media, yielded a fantastic success for our client World Orphans: a non-profit specializing in fully-transparent donations to countries in need, typically for the purpose of aiding orphans.

Working in tandem with World Orphan’s development team, the Mindflint team and VectorDefector put our heads together to establish a new brand, website theme, blog, donation method and simple e-commerce store-front.

Utilizing our new shop and donation system, visitors to World Orphans can pick the exact project, country or effort to put their money towards or involve their friends to create their own trackable donation campaigns.

Another great cause and great results!

Acoustic Eidolon

In an effort to maintain continuing quality service to my customers, I periodically revisit past projects in order to give them a bit of a “facelift”. One recent example are masters of the acoustic world, Acoustic Eidolon.

We recently re-visited their site for some necessary maintenance and a few new bells and whistles featuring: improved receipts for the e-commerce store, new photos and lyrics content and overall improvements to site-wide functionality.

Still lookin’ sharp and running even better now- thanks guys!
