Designed by our friends at NGS Associates, the Stephan Company website redesign was the first in a series of sites for the Stephan family of companies, including Morris Flamingo and the Stephan Retail site.
The Stephan Company
Acsis Inc.
Our friends at NGS Associates designed the updated look and information architecture of the new Acsis Inc. website, while we consulted on technology and took care of the development phase. After reviewing the goals of Acsis Inc., we recommended WordPress as being an excellent fit for their needs, although it was an edge case scenario: Drupal(…)
CDNs – What, Why, How, and Should We?
Once only considered for major high-traffic sites, since early-2011 Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) have been picking up some traction as several hosting services have begun integrating CDN services directly with their hosting packages to offer to smaller hosting clients.

In the process we gained a lot of valuable insight that we hope to be able to duplicate for other projects like this(…)

Debby Brown represents 10 photographers who do a variety of types of work in a geographically diverse area. In addition to just showing off(…)
GE Canada Fitness Day
We built this mini-site with the good folks over at Edelman Vancouver for GE Canada’s Fitness Day in 2010, and GE re-used it again in 2011. It was a great little piece that let the various departments of GE measure their fitness activity for a week, trying to get people out of their chairs and(…)
