brit — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:47:29 +0000

We have been working with one of our favorite local restaurants for a few weeks putting together a simple website for them. It has finally launched and is available at http://www.HelenaDepot.com. This site is built on WordPress for easy content updates and content syndication.

This site serves as a great example of the power of WordPress and proper content organization. Expect more from this site soon as it hopefully becomes more popular within the community.

Client: Insurance Specialties
Project: Online Signup Application
Website URL: www.ISSISVS.com

Please note that this site is still under development and things are still changing rapidly.

When tasked with adding a specific signup process to their existing website, ISSI contacted Octane Media to make it happen. Through several phone interviews and one on-site visit, all of the requirements were determined. Even with distant clients, we feel it is absolutely necessary to have a face to face meeting to make sure all of the requirements are explained thoroughly.

This online signup application features a secure signup process utilizing a custom questionnaire to ensure all of the proper information is collected from the user. The applications are then put into queue accessible to the in-house admin users who can review the details of the application and approve their application. This site also integrates with Authorize.Net for credit card processing.

Technologies used in this project are ASP.NET, jQuery, SQL Server 2005, LINQ and standards compliant HTML and CSS.

Hutter Performance

Client: Hutter Performance
Project: Website Redesign
Website URL: HutterPerformance.com

Octane Media was contacted by Hutter Performance with a request to bring their online presence into the “new media” age. Our main objective was to create a content management system for them which supported embedding HD video, race team biographies, and project vehicle biographies. Hutter specializes in high end modifications to Corvettes and other LSX powered vehicles. In order to demonstrate their experience and focus in this market, we put together an Adobe Flex application called “Corvette Builder”. This online application provides the ability for the user to build their own package of parts and send it to the Hutter sales staff for a personalized quote. The Flex framework adds some familiar features of desktop applications such as drag and drop as well as state management.

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. The videos are hosted on a social media video sharing site called Vimeo. This reduces hosting costs and provides another outlet for their video content.

Technologies used in this project are ASP.NET, Flex, Flash Video, Google Maps, jQuery, and standards compliant HTML and CSS.

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.Incorporating the aquarium design elements allowed us create a theme for the site that was both unique and unobtrusive. It also created our “fun” feeling that lasts throughout all of the pages in the site.

Ease of updates was also a major requirement for this project. We created a fully featured secure administration site for which the client can use to update their locations, doctors, photos, and other aspects of the site. This is a fully custom admin section that only displays what is necessary and makes updates very simple. If you are reading this, you have enough knowledge to use an admin site like this.

Lance Brannon Trailer Sales

Client: Lance Brannon Trailers
Project: Company Website
Website URL: www.LBTrailers.com

LBTrailers has been a client of ours for years. They were actually one of our first web design clients, so having them continue to come back for more design work is always flattering. We have enjoyed building the relationship over the years.

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.).

Technologies used in this project are ASP.NET, SQL Server 2005, Flash, Flash Video, jQuery, and standards compliant HTML and CSS.

Client: Lunati
Project: eCommerce Platform Creation
Website URL: www.LunatiPower.com

It was a great honor when Lunati contacted us about building a custom eCommerce platform for their new storefront. Almost all of us here at Octane are motorsports junkies, so the thought of working with Lunati is all the motivation we needed to pull off such a large project. The motorsports industry has very unique challenges for eCommerce, most of which revolve around organization of product data. The platform developed for Lunati is built to take advantage of that advanced product classification as their internal product data evolves. These advanced features will be rolled out periodically over time to match their internal processes.

The new Lunati website handles all product, news, specials, and orders administration through a secure content/order management system built custom to their specific needs.

Technologies used in this project are ASP.NET, SQL Server 2005, Flash, Flash Video, jQuery, and mostly standards compliant HTML and CSS.
