Aquist.us
Aquist.us was a blast and a very fun project to work on. The client is a graphic designer by day but has rapidly been learning Ruby on Rails in his off-time, and has been adding unique touches to his application almost daily. Sometimes all you need is a great tool and a little guidance.
HometoursHD
Every member of CleverStart is an entrepreneur themselves and understands that it can be a real challenge to develop your idea from something inside your head to something tangible. HometoursHD was a unique idea, in that it has massive potential and we were able to help the client develop his idea into a demo that could be shown to others. We used a unique blend of the latest Web2.0 style with a happy mixture of sophistication. If you have that next idea and need someone to help you get it to the next level, feel free to contact us.
We are Changing the World $1 at a Time
This is an internal project that we are developing for the world. It will be a free application that allows users to do some pre-shopping. Ever wondered if shopping in bulk is actually a better deal or are you spending more money? We never really thought about it until we started crunching some numbers and came up with some stunning results. For example, did you know some stores charge you more per can of soda than a vending machine does? Feel free to contact us with questions or more details.
Ten Ton Technologies (web design/development)
Ten Ton Technologies was looking for something that would stand out and look professional. We ended up with a very modern design that used specific colors and layouts to achieve the desired results.
TheHome.com (full rails cms and custom development/design)
TheHome.com is a full content management system (CMS) where they can write new articles and have that article appear differently across the site, whether it is a suggested article, excerpt or full article. This CMS uses Typo, which is a popular blogging platform, as a baseline for the project.
Eve Haslam (idea for future development)
Sometimes all you need is an idea for a project. For this project we were hired to create a new design that was fresh and modern looking. This is what the client ended up liking a lot and it was our favorite too!
Umalt.com (Non-profit site and blog)
Umalt.com was a lot of fun, we used some PHP and a lot of CSS to get our client the desired look and feel that we were aiming for. Since completion they have been attracting many new visitors and helping out their existing users. Umatilla Morrow Alternatives dedicates long hours and lots of resources to the local community, and to help out with this, their guests are able to book events and needs. We still do maintenance and upkeep so that UMA is able to focus their time on what their good at, helping others and making a difference.
The CEO of Umalt had good things to say about the finished product:
"I have enjoyed working with James on building our first website, not only were they very responsive but they tried to see things from my point of view which is helpful. We love the way the site looks, they were patient in working with me even though I know I was very confusing, they helped us to realize our goal." -Frank
GatewayURP.com (UNCG/A&T Research park)
This project was an enjoyable challenge. Using a lot of CSS, we were able to increase the performance of the website and ensure that pages were being loaded quickly. This was due to the high amount of traffic that the site recieves. Originally the background consisted of more than twenty-five images, using modern digital imaging we were able to reduce this considerably.
