Website Design & Social Media Integration for Seattle Company Opscode

Wow, funny how time flies. We’ve been meaning to post this for a couple months now but we’ve been slammed!

It was just a bit intimidating creating a web site for a group of web gurus of this caliper. The Opscode team is “comprised of a team of web infrastructure experts responsible for building and operating some of the world’s largest websites and cloud computing platforms”.

Pixelube stepped up, created the website design then output an XHML template system that integrated with the existing Opscode infrastructure. The Opscode website design and template system was created so that the team could easily integrate it with it’s various social media properties such as the twitter and blog, and rss feeds.

Social Media Web Site Design for Seattle Company, Spring Creek Group

springcreekgroup1Wow, I can’t believe how much social media (Twitter, Facebook, iLike, YouTube, Linked-in, Blogs, etc.) has become such an integral part of the main-stream web these days. That’s why we were thrilled when local, Seattle Company, Spring Creek Group, who specializes in marketing brands via social media on the web, commissioned Pixelube to re-design their site.

Being that their areas of expertise are grounded in social media, it was only natural that we integrate a variety of social media features into the site. Not only did we build the site on the WordPress platform, we integrated various aspects of Twitter, Facebook, Linked-in, iLike and Friend Feed. We launched the site in early March.
