The Egg Strategy website which launched earlier in 2011 (and also just won a WMA award) recently went live with a mobile version of their website by the firm.
The mobile website translates the oversized typography of the Egg Strategy printed matter and desktop website to the tiny screens of handheld devices. Each page can be accessed in almost exactly the same way as one might using a native application, all the while managing to present the entirety of the content from its bigger brother, based as it is, on a shared content management system and database. Egg staff updates one, and the other follows suit.
C&G Partners designed a visual brand, exhibit and interactives for a new initiative of JPMorgan Chase & Co., in conjunction with The King Center in Atlanta.

The firm’s touring exhibit allows visitors to study and interact with Dr. King’s documents in high resolution and experience first-hand the process of digitization used in the lab. Read more…

In addition, WordPress’ customizable nature allowed for the organization’s branding and visual design to be implemented consistently across all webpages. All WordPress implementation was done by John Ford of Aldenta.
