The Realty Group

The Realty Group (client) set new milestones for this project after we demonstrated what their website could do rather than adhering to the low standards in real estate websites set by their areas local competitors; and we poured on the goods.

For this project we designed and integrated a custom IDX data transport to allow site-centric MLS searches, not the typical, ugly, framed MLS searches you see on most real estate websites. To pair with the custom MLS searching, we also designed a self-contained "project listing system" (PLS) so that the client could provide visitors with a searchable interface for finding available land & development projects they are involved in that you wouldn't find on the MLS.

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!

How Far Would You Go?

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.
