KAPromotions

Promotional products company KAPromotions came to us looking for an elegant design to compliment their thriving business. This website incorporates some lovely CSS animations and Javascript homepage elements that draw customers in. Overall the design is simple and clean – removing distractions to focus users to a call to action.

Heatwave Music Festival

Heatwave is a music festival that channels the pop art of the masters of the 70s and 80s. Bold colors and simple images are the flavor of this design.

Moontrash

Moontrash is a clothing and apparel company that specializes in the weird and esoteric. With this in mind, we created a vibrant site that channels the busier elements of late-90s, early-2000s Angelfire and Geocities sites with a layer of grunge and punk aesthetic.

 

The site is built on a Shopify e-commerce backend that hooks into the print-on-demand company Printful. No inventory is required and orders are fulfilled and shipped automatically.

Eventric Master Tour

The client requested examples of a reworked portal page for the Master Tour desktop login page. The requirements were that it must be extremely light-weight and contain no embedded images.

 

We built the example with SASS/CSS and html. Each facet of the design was fully customizable. The embedded images were rendered with CSS to keep the page extremely light-weight.
