New 829 Studios Website Launches

Posted by Nick Riotto on May 10, 2010 in 829 Studios News, Strategic Marketing, Web Development | 24 comments

We’ve launched a completely re-branded website for 829 Studios, the strategic marketing and web development firm that I co-own.  We’ve put a lot more emphasis on the blog, which we hope will begin serving as a major driver of traffic and business.  We’ve also launched a Twitter account and created a sweet new set of business cards.

The design has picked up a ton of honors and mentions – in addition to being featured on Creattica, the new 829 Studios design has been featured onWeLoveCSS.net, Speckyboy Design Magazine, and BestCSSVault.com.

Check out the full details of the project on the 829 Studios project page.

Five Inspirational Web Design Showcases

Posted by Nick Riotto on Apr 9, 2010 in Web Development | 3 comments

Need some web design inspiration?  Check out these five showcases that feature the best designs on the web.

TheBestDesigns.com: This one is my personal favorite – it’s updated (almost) daily with fresh new designs.  Features a solid mix of Flash, CSS, and UI design.

SiteInspire.net: A good variety of designs mostly focusing on clean, simple CSS layouts.

The CSS Awards: A gallery of Flash-heavy sites – this collection really takes high-end development to a new level.

Creattica: Probably the most extensive gallery of impressive design work.  This site combines CSS, Flash, Photoshop, 3D, business cards, advertisements, and more.  My 829 Studios designs for Wilderness House and Choice Camps are featured in the CSS gallery.

CSSRemix.com: A great collection of CSS and graphics work, but not updated as frequently as the others.

I’m happy to announce the launch of eatbytweet.com!  The site is a Twitter mash-up that aggregates restaurant tweets and specials from eateries throughout the country.  I provided the design via 829 Studios, while Mike Siegel and Artin Petrossian at Kingsberry Media provided the programming.
