After a year and a half of the old website, that didn’t explain much about us other than the fact we built software, it was time to show the world what kind of stuff we actually do at Build in Motion. The new website features a work portfolio and information about our product offerings, Swift and Catalyst, and portrays the company in a more professional manner.
I began working at Build in Motion in July 2015 and immediately got to work rebranding the company with a new logo, color palette, website, and print materials. The website was built using AngularJS and was integrated into the company’s proprietary inMotion application platform.
Born out of my experience building ImaginePittsburgh.com, ThisIsPennHills.com leverages many of the same concepts including news, careers, neighbors, and a wiki-style object grid. The site was built to help foster better communication and a greater sense if community pride.
The John Challis Courage for Life Foundation The Courage for Life Foundation grants life encouraging sports experiences to high school athletes with life threatening illnesses. This website is built in WordPress and includes an e-commerce plugin that drives the merchandise store and registrations for the annual golf outing.
Commet is a mobile application that is a long time in the making. I think me and a friend first brainstormed the idea back in 2009. The project has stopped and started, gone though several development teams, but now finally I believe I have the right team and partners in place to launch it and soon!!
DJ Fifth Ace, or Dan Koch, has been a friend of mine since we both worked at the same night club around the turn of the century, when he became one of Waldron Interactive’s first clients. As we’ve grown professionally, so has Dan’s services. His new website needed to portray professionalism with some fun. The site also features a customer management system used for bookings, contracts, payments and client preferences.
In July 2013, I met without a doubt, the most interesting person I’ve ever met in my life. Randy Gilson is the creator of Randyland, a public art gallery located in the Northside, and Randy’s home. In 2014, I built Randy a simple site on Tumblr, and got him set up on social media sites Twitter, Facebook and Instagram so he could share all of his creativity online. Additionally, we launched a Kickstarter campaign and successfully raised over $12,000 to fund an art installation.
TeamPay.co is an application that allows teams in sports leagues to manage their league fees and equally split payments between players. Additional fees can also be tacked on for referee costs or equipment and jerseys. The service is free for team managers and payments are deposited into their accounts weekly.
I spent two years with the Penn Hills Community Development Corporation between 2012 and 2013. During that time I created a new logo and brand for the organization, a new website, and many print materials. As chair of the communications committee, I published a bi-weekly email newsletter and performed outreach via social media. I even spent some time as a board member.
