Random Hacks of Kindness

This weekend, more than 1,500 self-proclaimed "hackers" are gathering in cities around the world to work on technology solutions for world problems, including advance warning for severe weather situations, tracking lost children in large-scale emergencies, real time climate data comparison, and more than 60 others. The "hackathon" events are part of a global initiative called Random Hacks of Kindness, founded in 2009 in a partnership between Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, NASA and the World Bank.

We had the incredible privilege of working with the RHoK team to redesign and rebuild RHoK.org in Drupal 7.

AASHE.org Redesign

We've been working for the past few months on a redesign for aashe.org and are glad to announce that the site is live and ready for the public. We're still ironing out a few kinks but I thought I would take this time to cover a bit of the process around the redesign. This project was unique in that AASHE had a development team that would be implementing the site. It was great working with Julia, Matt and the rest of the AASHE team and they did an excellent job tackling the development side of things. So with development taken care of, we were able to focus solely on design and front-end interaction.

The New AtenDesignGroup.com

Over the past few months, we've been working to redesign our website to better reflect our identity, our work, and our process. The new design gives us the flexibility to create custom designs for featured projects, a better framework for writing blog posts, and a much prettier interface, both on the front and back-end.

Launch Week

Last week was launch week at Aten, with two brand new redesigns hitting the interwebs. Both were for product manufacturers. Both were built in Drupal. Both companies sweat the details. In just about every other way, the two websites couldn't have been more different. Introducing RichardsonCap.com and ZimmermanMarine.com.
