Site Launch: Moody Eyes Online

Moody Eyes Home PageWe’re pleased as punch to announce our latest launch: Moody Eyes Online!

We jumped at the chance to take on this project, since at least half of couldbe studios is blind as a bat (though the other half got his first pair of glasses recently – which counts, even if he only needs them when he spends too long on the computer) and most other online glasses retailers…well, let’s just say we had lots of ideas! The Moody Eyes guys let us take the design lead, and the result is a site that makes us really want another pair of glasses.

Moody Eyes Product PageThe collections are hand-picked and showcase the frames, and each collection features a piece of pop art by the fabulously talented Hillary White. The whole thing has a retro feel without being too kitschy, which really complements the product lines.

Moody Eyes PrescriptionOne of the coolest (and most developmentally challenging) features is the prescription form – not only did we integrate it with the product pages, but we tied it to customer accounts so that if you enter your information once, it will automatically populate the next time you order glasses. Cool, right?

Site Launch: The Clink Room Shop

The Clink Room - ShopWhen we announced the launch of the Clink Room last month we said the redesigned Shop was right around the corner – and we meant it! Check out the custom Shopify theme we put together for Casey & Jason. Of course it looks cool, thanks to their amazing graphics, but the really neat thing about it is how it functions behind the scenes. We made it as easy as possible to switch out the background graphics and the sidebar links so that the site will always look fresh. (One of the things we love about designing for Shopify: custom theme settings!)

Site Launch: The Clink Room

We’re really excited to announce the launch of the new blog for The Clink Room – and not just because we had a hand in making it! The Clink Room guys do fantastic design work – they’re the people who do the official logos for Major League and Minor League Baseball teams – & we’ve had a blast doing this project. We got to flex our layout muscles getting the site to look just right, and we even got to create our first mobile site! Seriously, it’s very cool and all of you with iPhones or Android handsets should check it out, stat.

We’ll be launching the revamped Shopify store for these guys very soon, too – keep your eye out for the announcement.

Baktuli

BaktuliWe love doing Shopify sites, and this one was a blast!

Henry needed a site to showcase his fabulous new collection of luxury yoga towels. His design preference was upscale minimalism, and the site reflects that with a clean white background and dark gray typography. The only splash of color comes from the towels, which take center stage on the home page slideshow.

Henry’s fabulous photography definitely took this site to the next level. Visit Baktuli.com to check it out yourself!

Savvima

SavvimaWe were lucky enough to do the layout and coding for the Savvima website, and it turned out great! Using Avi & Naomi’s lovely custom graphics, we were able to bring to life their vision of a fully-featured news blog, featuring post excerpts and thumbnails as well as a “Featured Posts” slider on the front page, a custom navigational menu, and a special recipes section.

Since Savvima was already built on WordPress, we were able to use plugins to get the site up and running quickly and painlessly. The front page slideshow uses the fabulous Smooth Slider, which we highly recommend.

MollyMeow is Live!

We’ve talked about Molly Mutt before, and they are seriously one of our all-time favorite clients to work with, so we were very excited when they told us they wanted to add another store to their Magento site. They already were selling the coolest dog beds ever, so expanding into the world of cats made perfect sense.



Check them out online at MollyMeow.com and of course MollyMutt.com.
