Drew McKenzie Photography
September 26th, 2008 | CMS | Flash development | photography | Seattle | web design
In dealing with great photography, we feel it is best to let the art speak for itself. We created a very minimal Flash web experience for people to easily browse Drew’s work. In addition, the entire site was developed to run entirely off an XML based CMS system that was custom designed for the site. It allows Drew to easily keep his portfolio up to date.
Connected TV Films - web development and API integration

We leveraged our web development experience and previous work with Google APIs to create a multimedia rich site that integrates directly with MSN Soapbox.

In addition, it implements the Windows Live authentication service.
We worked together with Pixelube and their design team to create a multimedia rich experience for the user.

ConnexIT brought on Switch Development to help architect an interactive reporting interface and dashboard that allows small and medium business owners that use Quick Books to analyze and forecast their financial data. Using .NET, we were able to rapidly build the UI architecture in concert with a third party Flash based graphing tool. We then created a custom AJAX navigational system making access to the different reports fast and intuitive.
Working with Corelytics, we were able to create and present several meaningful analytical views into a business’ current financial scenario as well as create some predictable outlooks to help business owners act and react properly to how their company is really operating.

Vera Fitness: a personal training studio designed for women
May 15th, 2008 | blog | Flickr | health/fitness | scheduling | Seattle | startup technology development | web design | web development
Vera Fitness, a Seattle based women’s fitness clinic, approached Switch Development needing a website that was true to their brand, that engaged their potential clients and that provided users with the ability to create appointments online. We researched the available CMS systems and tools for scheduling but determined that a custom solution would be more affordable and cater better to their business.
Using .NET and SQL Server we created a custom scheduling and client management tool which, after a few phases over the last few months, now provides Vera Fitness trainers the ability to engage their clients, access their progress and keep record of goals and performance.
In addition we integrated the site with Flickr.com and created a custom blog so that Vera clients can stay in touch with each other.

The DreamClinic team needed a web solution that would allow them to make regular updates and manage the content of the site after it was launched. We implemented Drupal which provided a series of CMS tools that will allow them to blog, setup new areas of the site and maintain the content.
In addition DreamClinic had very specific SEO requirements which required a high level of detail in how the content was structured.
CondoCompare - Developing a real estate search engine
April 11th, 2008 | AJAX | API integration | MLS | real estate | search engine optimization (SEO) | Seattle | startup technology development | web design
Joining the CondoCompare team in 2006, we helped design and develop a real estate search engine that made sense for condominiums. We organized varying means of retrieving data from varying real estate sources and created tools for them to organize the listing information in ways that would make sense to users: condo units in the context of condo buildings.
In addition we strategized and developed, what was at the time, a new methodology for AJAX. A search engine that retained the search history within an asynchronous environment. This made searching fast and intuitive allowing people to find the condos in the areas they were interested with the criteria they desired and with the tools to quick-save a picklist to review or compare when they were ready.
In addition we added community related aspects such as commenting, reviewing and involved the participation of condo agents themselves to provide a more comprehensive informational resource for prospective buyers.
We worked with CondoCompare building their technology from the ground up using .NET, SQL Server, .NET AJAX and our own custom built AJAX solutions. We architected an SEO system that would deliver individual condos and hot condo areas to search engines making page 1 on many regional real estate searches. We also helped craft effective marketing campaigns and assisted in developing their brand.
Client Commentary
I can't speak highly enough about Switch Development and their work as our technology partner. It is quite rare to find a person that is as talented with usability and design as well as middle tier and back end technology.
