New Seattle Website Design: Hardy Boys, Treasure on the Tracks


Local business, Her Interactive, a gaming development company located in Bellevue, Wa. commissioned us to create a “micro” promotional web site for it’s new Nintendo DS game, Hardy Boys, Treasure on the Tracks. The web site was created to reinforce the basic concept of the game where users are prompted to travel the rails from Paris to St. Petersburg in search of the “Royal Treasure.

Pixelube worked closely with the Her Interactive marketing team to create a flash site that is fun, immersive and promotes the game in a creative way.

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.
