  • 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.).

  • 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.

2010 Griffin King of the Hammers DownTown HammerTown

JOHNSON VALLEY, CA,  FEBRUARY 1, 2010:  DownTown HammerTown has been laid out and is amazing!  The chalk is on the ground and now we are waiting for the tents to be erected and the semi’s to arrive.  It is truly a city on the lakebed!

There are over 80 vendors that will line the rows and fill the big 100×120 circus tent.  They range from vendors just showing their products, to massive outfits that have parts on sell for you to take advantage of.  You will just about be able to buy anything from nuts and bolts, t-shirts and hats, to some large bolt on items that you can purchase and walk out to install.  The best part of the Vendor show is you don’t have to wait to use your newest gadget!  You can use it that day!

One of our first clients, The Peachtree Club, in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia, contact us about building a separate site for their new rooftop terrace.

WordPress Integrates With Twitter API

We are asked this by almost every client who implements a WordPress site, “How do I update all of my ’streams’ at the same time?” Well, the answer to that question is one step closer.

This morning, a blogging platform and a microblogging platform have become more symbiotic. WordPress has enabled posting and reading the blogs the platform powers via the Twitter API.

PRI Photos 2009

I’m here in Orlando, FL, for the 2009 Performance Racing Industry show.

Magento for GameDayGirlStuff.com

We seem to be getting a lot of requests for Magento lately. The platform has grown leaps and bounds over the last couple of years and we have been with them from the beginning. It has been encouraging to see how the platform has developed into a full fledged commerce solution. We were approached by the owner of Game Day Girl Stuff about building a new site for them that was more robust and scalable than their existing platform. Magento was the perfect fit for their needs, and so it was.

Please visit the Game Day Girl Stuff store to see the results.

Magento Live for Extreme Roc Rigs

We have done quite a few Magento installations now. Each time we dig into Magento, we appreciate the platform even more. Agreed, it’s a huge beast and a pain to get setup, but once it’s up and running it’s great. The flexibility and scalability are the major benefits.

You can checkout our latest Magento installation at the Extreme Roc Rigs store.

This site is also coupled with a WordPress installation available at the root of the site.
