This local Seattle law firm, Ricci Grube Aita & Breneman, asked us to redesign their website which had fallen a bit out of date. We created a more modern feel for the firm and created an up-to-date partner section so that visitors can learn more about the partners and the services they provide.

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.

Switch Development worked together with Liquid Gold Energy, a honey based sports fuel product, to create a Drupal based community website. The site was designed to be an initial introduction to the product and provide the ability for the product team to promote various sponsorships and events that they were going to be involved in to generate buzz about the product.
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.
DreamClinic - Drupal development
May 10th, 2008 | blog | CMS | Drupal development | health/fitness | search engine optimization (SEO) | Seattle | web design | web development
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.
William Anthony Photography - Flash development
February 12th, 2008 | blog | CMS | photography | web design | web development
When creating an website for an artist with great work it is best to let the work do the talking. We worked with WMA to design and develop a site that was true to their brand as well as putting the photgraphy front and center. The site was designed to run off an XML CMS system allowing for easy updates to the site including the addition of new sections, managing the photos and configuring sections to run as slide shows, galleries or descriptive pages.
In addition we designed a style sheet for his Blogger.com account and designed the Flash navigation to work within the blog for a seamless experience.
