We found that other customers felt the same way — they wanted to be able to forward messages they received from their clients and co-workers directly into Basecamp, instead of copying and pasting messages over and over again.

So, we wrote a quick blog post announcing our intention to produce a solution for this.  It was picked up by 37signals and they posted about it on their popular product blog.  The feedback was extremely encouraging.

We produced a quick prototype and put it out for everyone to use free of charge.  We received a ton of great feedback, and began refining Mailmanagr and adding features here and there.  It still has some growing up to do, but as it stands right now, we’ve got a huge user-base and a really clear roadmap of where things are going.  Mailmanagr is available in two flavours – a free, yet somewhat limited version, and a $7 a month unlimited version.

We produced the web site for High Star Productions so that they could sell their products online.  Within no time at all, their online sales were exceeding their offline sales, and they were able to start communicating new product launches with their customers.

We continue to maintain the High Star web site today.

Fringeprint is unique because the majority of the information contained within the site is pulled directly from INDUSTRYimages.com — contact information for the studios & pricing information.  All orders are then passed off to INDUSTRYimages’ own web-based order system.

In 2006, we helped them organize and clean up their existing web site.

We re-designed the entire MBC web site in Dreamweaver using web standards.  This allows Metropolis BC staff to perform their own additions and updates based on templates we’ve provided for them.

INDUSTRYimages.com is one great example of the work we’ve done together.  In the summer of 2008, we worked with the design team at INDUSTRYimages to release a brand-new look for them on the web.  Beyond that, we developed a custom solution allowing staff from across the country to update content and process orders from customers.

I was joking with someone the other day that we didn’t really have any work samples online.  A design and development company with no portfolio.  Yeah, that sucked.  This re-design is pretty much all about portfolio.

We can’t take complete credit for this design though.  It’s a Wordpress theme that we picked up from Woothemes.  The reality is that there’s just not enough time to start from scratch.  Over time, the theme will morph quite a bit though, and hopefully end up as something we can be completely proud of.
