PRO BONO 2011: Estrellas Costeras de Costa Rica

While in Costa Rica, I offered to create a website for environmental activists wanting to denounce the numerous politicians and businesses involved in socially and environmentally unsustainable practices on the coast. We used many social media tools available.

The site is, for example, 100% integrated with Facebook. No need to create an account to leave a comment, if you are connected to Facebook, you can leave a comment seamlessly. The sleek design allows an easy and fast access to vasts amounts of information.

Dr. Loeb - Plastic Surgeon

Renowned NYC-based plastic surgeon Thomas W. Loeb contacted Contagious Networks for a complete website design that depicted important information about him and his practice and that simultaneously visually pointed to his Fifth Avenue location.

The end result was the creation of three affiliated sites that are luxurious in layout, enabling a quick and efficient display of important information (possible operations and results) for potential clients while making use of colors and element placement that reflect the epicurean culture of the doctor's office location -- that is, equidistant spacing, light colors, and general orderliness.

Contagious Networks also executed a search marketing strategy that ultimately placed Dr. Loeb in the top three search page results for every target keyword of his.

Renee Cox - I Am Desperate

For Renee Cox, Contagious Networks created a website that strongly echoes the theme of its displayed photographs, that of desperation. In a two-column layout with a designed sidebar that visually emphasizes the mental refrain of "I am desperate,"

Prototype Javascript was used to create an adjacent image gallery that provides an easy-to-use navigation and caption system while remaining unintrusive and thereby enabling focus to remain on the photos themselves.

Tools Used: Photoshop, Protoype, php, CSS

Makeup Artist

a NYC-based makeup artist, called upon Contagious Networks to create a portfolio that was both light-colored and clear in ambience and also speedily accessible (in the short time frame of 1-2 minutes) to busy, potential clients.

Contagious Networks produced an effectively white background website that, instead of sticking to popular top-down portfolio formats, took full advantage of horizontal scrolling -- allowing Joanna's work to be displayed in a straight line and eliminating the need for tedious, time-consuming click-ons or click-throughs. Using PHP, a basic content management system was created to facilitate client-friendly image updates and additions.

       Photo of The House by Kevin Haddock

THE HOUSE // Gramercy

Having been restored in the late 19th Century, the Gramercy Park restaurant desired a website and print identity that fully captured its age and, therefore, classicism. Selected for the task, Contagious Networks produced a website, using Flash with Actionscript 2, that enabled a slideshow-like showcasing of beautiful photographs of The House's magnificent exterior appearance, its lush interior, and of select menu items.

Posed upon a dark background, the website's traditional rectangular layout and its photography does indeed transport users to an earlier time. Contagious Networks also conceptualized and designed a print logo, a three-dimensional vector sketch of the restaurant's exterior, that completely satisfied The House's desire to have a print identity that could be recognized without caption -- that could stand on its own.

Along with the logo, a print menu and business cards were designed as well.

Tools Used: Photoshop, Flash, php CSS Other: Photography

Polymair Inc.

Instead of seeking a site that drew attention to itself, Polymair desired a minimalist web presence that would, instead, organically give more importance to the actual works of its artists. Contagious Networks developed a design that makes use of a lot of white space and image padding to ensure that users' eyes are quickly directed towards pieces of art instead of superfluous website elements.

Polymair's identity was also produced in a similar vein. In addition to website and identity design, Contagious Networks developed an e-commerce solution for the site based on Drupal, the Ubercart Module, and the Authorize.net Payment Processor. This setup ensures the highly desirable integration of carts into the website's layout (instead of external links) and also provides clients with a straightforward way to make updates.

Tools Used: Photoshop, Illustrator, Drupal + Ubercart, Authorize.net, PHP, CSS

RecruitingTrak βeta

This new website is going to help student athletes overcome the difficult university recruiting process. A $200/year fee gives you access to a private environment with themed calendars, pdfs, instruction manuals, weekly tips and more. Contagious Networks developed the website using Drupal and integrated a Bank of America payment gateway for order processing.

The challenge was to create different private environments (calendars, files etc...) that could be accessed after the purchase of a membership. Your graduation year/membership type defines the environment and information you will receive.

The admin interface is easy to use, the whole website is now maintained by the RecruitingTrak staff and not by programmers. We are just called in for technical updates, upgrades, backups and to make sure the engine is running smoothly.

Tools Used: Photoshop, Illustrator, Drupal, Bank of America Payment Gateway, PHP, CSS, Google Analytics, Linux Hosting

Ice-Qube Emergency Solutions

Ice-Qube, a retailer of luxury and basic emergency/survival kits, came to Contagious Networks in need of an online presence. Targeting a certain audience and associated income, Contagious Networks' design concept was two-fold. On one hand, it portrayed the possibility of emergencies and disasters occurring anywhere (image of a nice suburban neighborhood completely flooded).

Secondly, the design, although dealing with disaster, remained visually calm enough to retain visitors, encourage them to read more about the kits, and possibly buy them. E-commerce functionality was provided by the use of the open-source Magento platform. A key feature of this developmental project was Contagious Networks' foresight as it made use of the platform quickly after its stable version release and also shortly before its expansion into a globally renowned e-commerce platform.

Tools Used: Photoshop, Illustrator, php, CSS, Magento, Google Analytics, Linux Hosting
