[SHOWCASE] newsboys and Andy Andrews
We have been working very hard on some really great projects over the past few months, and are excited to be launching a number of sites early in 2007. I just wanted to take a moment and share two of them that were launched yesterday, January 12th.
newsboys
We originally did the design for newsboys.com back in 2006. They loved the design, but went through a couple of companies to develop the site and it did not work out for whatever reason. So, we got to code this design and it was a lot of fun. The newsboys do a lot of great interactive things on their site and have around 20,000 fans per day logging on to participate. We hope this is a really positive step for them in creating a functional, yet fun environment for their fans.
Andy Andrews
Andy and his team is very near and dear to Project83 from the very beginning, as we have been working with them for nearly three years. They have a great message, and completely trust our team to make their website beautiful, yet very easy to use.
This was a challenge from the beginning, as we decided to do a 3-column liquid (content scales with the browser window size) layout with fixed-width sidebars for the homepage. Without the help of some great resources, this layout may not have been possible. A few months and over 1,100 lines of CSS later, we had a great layout that looks fantastic across numerous browsers and platforms. We were very proud to launch this one yesterday.
I am looking forward to more frequent blogging efforts and some really interesting topics over the coming months, along with more exciting website launches. Stay tuned!
