What? You didn't know JBC did Flash website? Oh man, that hurts our feelings! So much that we decided to hook-up one of our clients who was seeking a non-interactive website with a full Flash bonus. We love our clients like that... What's more, we punched it up a notch by adding some SEO-ready support and a pseudo-CMS back-end using WordPress. We also integrated SimpleViewer into the Flash interface and wrapped it with a custom WordPress plug-in for a slick looking photo gallery. All together, this back-end system powered by WordPress gives the site a great looking slideshow viewer, dynamic content, an easy to use interface for the site owner to update the gallery photos, and a completely SEO-ready version of the site that runs in parallel to the Flash version for search engines to use for indexing. All in all, we think this Flash micro-site is pretty smokin'.

You're probably saying the same thing we said when The Chopping Block brought this project to us: "Fred Figglehorn? What?"
Truth is, Fred Figglehorn is the doppelganger of teenage actor Lucas Cruikshank who plays a hyperactive child in a popular video series that is generating a six-figure income and some Big Media interest. This 15 year old's videos have been watched over 15,500 times, his subscriber-base is closing in on 3/4 of a million people, and he's had almost 18 million channel views; with YouTube statistics like this, maybe you too could make the headlines with news agencies like CNN, BusinessWeek, LA Times, and CNET!

This website is part of a viral campaign, where somewhere between 400 and 1000 beach balls were distributed across NYC by being left inside of cabs for riders to puzzle over. Each beach ball had a printed tag containing the web address and password required to enter, and visitors who log in can submit their personal story (via text, image, or video) of how far they would go for something or someone they care about. Each submission goes into a moderation tank, and once approved the submissions merge into the collage of submissions made by other visitors.
Powering the site is a custom PHP+MySQL management system, atop of a built to order LAMP) server. All presentation layers were built with standards-compliant XHTML (1.0 Strict), CSS3 (with graceful degradation), and heavy use of the Prototype JavaScript framework combined with the script.aculo.us Web 2.0 effects library. The site consists primarily of one actual page with all interaction being done using a lightbox style overlay combined with AJAX.
