Mobile Sites of the Top Digital Agencies

Posted on September 22, 2010 by | Leave a comment

This summer, McKinney was doing some research on the top agencies mobile websites for their own new site. They wanted to develop a site that worked the same on a touch device as a standard computer. Nick Jones compiled mobile screen shots of the biggest agencies web sites during the process, and what his research revealed was incredible. They posted this list and asked the agencies to send a tweet when they became happy with their new mobile site. Firstborn in NYC ended up being the first to take the criticism and update their site, with many others following soon after. This compilation makes a bold point on how important it is to have a mobile presence. Look for this trend to continue as mobile devices become more popular and demands for great usability continue to rise.

See the compilation.

Posted on September 22, 2010 by | Leave a comment

On September 16, the 5 billionth photograph was uploaded to Flickr. The 5 billionth image is a image of a building in Vancouver, British Columbia. The image is a compilation of 5 shots, showing the rotation of the icon. While it is a milestone for the photo-sharing site, larger photo-sharing site Facebook has approximately 2.5 billion photos uploaded each month. To date, Facebook has had over 15 billion photos uploaded to the site.

Flickr differs from Facebook in that it allow users to upload images of any shape or size, and those sizes will hold true on the site. The site also allows for users to place their photos into categories with other users photos.

The 5 billionth image can be found here.

BSM Rolls Out New Hyde Park Jewelers Web For 2009 Holiday Season

Posted on November 6, 2009 by | Leave a comment

BrainSpark recently teamed up with long-time client and friends Hyde Park Jewelers for a full site redevelopment, completed and launched this week. Hyde Park approached BSM to explore a redesign in late summer and the project was formally initiated by early fall with an aggressive goal for completion in time for the holiday shopping season.

Hyde Park Jewelers Web Site

HydeParkJewelers.com

The first objective for the project was to bring the visual design and messaging up-to-date to coincide with a number of supporting branding initiatives underway for the holidays. Additionally, an evaluation and overhaul of the web site’s information architecture and content presentation was conducted to showcase the wide variety of product collections, better serve the needs of Hyde Park’s target audience and improve overall site usability. Functionality enhancements were also a priority, with a focus being the implementation of a site-wide content management system to empower Hyde Park’s marketing team to manage the majority of graphic and textual content throughout the web site.

We are excited to reintroduce Hyde Park’s new web presence and welcome your feedback. Happy shopping!
