  • Lance Brannon Trailer Sales

    Client Location: Rogersville, AL

    The trailer industry is not one known for pushing the limits of design or technology, so we wanted to jump at the opportunity to raise the bar with a cutting edge, quality website. The site is powered by a custom content management system that the internal staff uses to manage current inventory, unit and model details (text information, photos, etc.).

    The site features a fully featured, secure content management system which can be used to manage all of their products, race teams, project vehicles, and high definition videos.

  • Rated X Motorsports

    Client Location: Santee, CA

    This was one of our first custom ecommerce websites. Rated X had some specific requirements that prevented use of an off of the shelf package, so putting together a custom solution better served their needs. They actually have two websites, both featuring their own products and content (photos, etc.), but are both managed from one admin interface. This vastly simplifies updating the site.

  • ChildrensDDS

    Client Location: Woodstock, GA

    The overwhelming direction given to this project was, “make it fun”. Understanding that this site was geared toward children’s dentistry gave us the opportunity to design the look of the site in a way that would appeal to children, but still provide the necessary information for their parents.

The Octane Difference

We build relationships, not just websites. Seriously, that's the difference. We prefer to think of it as a partnership rather than a project. Anyone can build you a website and send you a bill. We specialize in working with companies that need a Web tool. That tool may be a static website or it may be a full-on turbo powered, nitrous injected big block ecommerce/blog/photo gallery/forum/community web application, but regardless we want to UNDERSTAND what your business needs and help you fill that void. Please use our Contact Form if you have any questions.

Free Website Winner Announced

Octane Media is proud to announce the winner of our Free Website Offer is MX for Children of Woodinville, WA. It is an honor for us to work with an organization that gives back so unselfishly.

MX for Children LogoMX for Children’s Mission:
Our vision is to create a replicable, sustainable charitable donation program for Children’s’ hospitals across the country that draws on the popularity of motocross locally to build a grass roots giving campaign that feeds into larger annual fund raising events centered around a premium experience at the AMA Supercross stop in a hospital’s local city.

MX for Children’s Recent Success
For the 2007—2009 racing seasons over $350,000 has been raised at MX for Children events. For 2009, SX events were held in Houston, Toronto and Seattle.

Octane Media is excited about the opportunity to donate our services to such a worthwhile organization. We are looking forward to making a positive impact by helping them help others.

For more information on Octane Media, please visit our Media Kit page. Please visit the Free Website Offer page for more information on the program.
