Four:Four

Challenge: NYSE came to us to build a custom web app that would allow employees to compete in a wellness program as part of their first-ever global physical activity challenge, theNYX 500.

Solution: The fourfour team hustled to build this exciting app that allowed participants to register for the competition and then track and log workout minutes via email. We also integrated a leader board that tracksust individual, regional and management team stats to see who is in the lead. We set up an automated notification system that sends out weekly email blasts, installed a Twitter feed and completed all this in only 3 weeks!

Challenge: BGI maintained an old, outdated website. They were looking for a complete re-design on a framework that allowed them to easily update as needed.

Solution: We devised a solution for BGI using a wordpress template that allows the client easy access to the back end of the site. Staying in sync with BGI’s exsisting black and gold logo, we updated the design of site to give it a modern look and feel. The finished site looks polished, is easy to navigate and gives BGI a great web presence.

Challenge: The Music and Horticulture departments came to us wanting a department site that was unique from the rest of the college.

Solution: SBCC is one of the top community colleges in the United States. For our second time working with SBCC, we designed a Joomla CMS to house an extensive plant database for the Horticulture department. We also worked with the music department to give their website a new look and feel and design something that would attract potential students.

Challenge: E-Commerce start-up that wanted a web application built in Rails to deliver daily deals to customers.

Solution: A Groupon style application including a fully comprehensible back end, complete with merchant control pannel enabling users to track sales, generate and redeem coupons and create and edit deals in real time. We used Ruby on Rails 3 to develop and completed the entire application in two months.

Challenge: Rocketfuel came to us with the Newmark Schools project. Newmark wanted a simple and well featured content management system and an updated look and feel to their elementary and high school web sites.

Solution: Newmark schools, located in New Jersey are state-approved private schools for children with learning disabilities and behavioral disorders. We designed a new look for their site working closely with Rocketfuel to perfect their vision and usability needs. We then loaded the new theme into WordPress and created an easy to use back end.

Challenge: Kollmorgen needed a great web team to work on a variety of branding collateral and web related projects.

Solution: Working with Kollmorgen since 2007, we have designed, consulted and developed multiple projects. We have helped on projects such as corporate branding strategy, eNewsletters and sales bulletins and built a customized CMS installation. We have also worked on projects for other Kollmorgen operating companies including, Motion Engineering, Danaher Motion, Dover and KMS. We have built a great relationship with Kollmorgen over the years and continue to work on their projects monthly.

Challenge: Vy asked us to build a private social network to allow group members to interact and post articles and videos.

Solution: The Vy Group is a private, invite-only group of business executives that needed a platform to connect online. We took the idea and created the VyNetwork social media app using Turbogears2 a Python MVC. In this app members created a profiles, “friended” other members and were able to share ideas by posting articles and videos related to business. The site was engineered and designed by fourfour and took approximately three months to build.
