Exciting Stuff !

Every once in a while, we get to work on a cutting edge project where we use new technology.  Or invent a new way to present information.  We showcase some of those projects here.  A note to our competitors:  Use these techniques and technologies!  Your customers will love them!

Downtown
Northville, Michigan

Take a scroll downtown!

The City of Northville is a small, charming community with a Victorian downtown.  Unfortunately, they're not immune from the competition from shopping malls and big box stores.  They recognized that the internet might provide them with the means to allow all merchants to collaborate on a single web destination, the focus being the downtown itself.  Going beyond the typical chamber of commerce website, we developed a flash-based tour that lets the visitor scroll, er... stroll around the downtown stopping at various merchants and gathering (or printing) information such as business hours, location or special promotions.  You can highlight specific types of businesses (such as antique shops or restaurants) and even visit second or third floor businesses.  Click on the Music button to enjoy some pleasant tunes while you browse.  Future enhancements may include a window shopping and e-commerce capability.  Put on a comfortable pair of walking shoes and check out the Northville Downtown Development Authority Website.

Muninet Guide and Review

Rich Ciccarone, publisher of Muninet Guide and Review, had a vision.  He wanted to create an online directory of official municipal websites.  To make it more useful to his subscribers, he intended to categorize the websites in his link list.  Need to find transportation websites?  No problem.  Tourism websites in California?  Easy.  Municipal Bond Websites in New York?  Simple.  The best part, though, is the part we can't show you.  Behind the scenes, we provided the editor with a way to manage the 8,000 (and counting) sites in the database.  Of course they can add, edit and delete sites.  We also provided a means for splitting and combining categories, counting the websites in the directory, and deleting categories.  We even provided a tool for checking "Link Rot" in the database.
