CSS/XHTML keeps the architecture clean and forwards-compatible, snazzy AJAX/Javascript keep the content flowing, and flash video takes you right to the heart of the Amazon. Photography and history played a key role in this site’s look and feel.

The Dot Film Company Website Redesign

This independent film production company needed a fresh modern look going into the Toronto Film Festival season, but with gritty and quirky luminaries such as Ray Wise and Jason Collett gracing their credits, they still needed to retain some of that edge they’re known for. A flash carousel header held up the slick while an overall distressed graphic feel kept the mood balanced.

Critical Mass Entertainment Website Design

Clean design and standards-based CSS/HTML/AJAX gives the site dependable (”forwards-compatible”) and efficient architecture while flash and video are used judiciously to give punch and visual interest where necessary. Graphically, the vibe was to promote their Canadian/Toronto roots, as well as their niche in the cult and horror genre while maintaining a clean and ordered design.

Area of Expertise.

With our beginnings in print design, we are front-end fanatics: Solid art and creative direction now honed and nuanced for a new and ever-newer medium. In a nutshell: User Experience Design. We pride ourselves also on our back-end savvy: We know our way around all the best apps and tools to enhance functionality. Moreover (and it almost goes without saying) all the bits that hold these together in the best way possible: standards compliant and forwards compatible HTML & CSS (meaning no messy code that interferes with your control over your content and ensuring compatibilty with multiple browsers and even new media screens.)

Skillz

Our Background.

We like to say that we learned all our abstract hi-falutin stuff in an abstract place: degrees in semiotics/cultural studies and Film School BFA's and our pragmatic stuff in the real world. Call it best practices - we do. After working on, and overseeing teams for large corporations like Rogers Communications and Virgin Mobile, the desire to have more control of, and involvement in the entire process took hold. We came together under the interests of marrying the pragmatic and the good-looking in this mercurial medium that is constantly re-creating itself.
