Octane Media :: Motorsports and Racing Web Design

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.

I was contacted by Tom Crain of Ankle-Savers™ about improving the website for his new product. He has an innovative product that maintains a very high level of simplicity. The website needed to reflect those product features. The main goals of this project were: high impact, simple (one page if possible), show product through video. See for yourself if you think these goals were accomplished – AnkleSavers.com.
