Website sample demonstration: VirtualTennis
Our client, VirtualTennis, asked us for a simulation that offers tennis fans the opportunity to play virtual tournaments on the company’s website. With this request as a starting point, we went on to develop one of the technologically most advanced simulation projects we have ever worked on – we designed a real time game engine and the entire project has been incredibly successful. Future steps planned for this project include real time Flash games, as well as an online community and shop.
Website sample demonstration: Hamburgwelt
Our affiliate in Hamburg entrusted us with creating “Hamburgwelt”, the city of Hamburg’s online portal and a platform that offers communities, directories, a market place and many other features to anyone interested in the city. The project so far has been a great success and is being developed further.
Website sample demonstration: Vodafone
For Vodafone, one of our long standing clients, we were asked to develop an online shop solution perfectly suited to the requirements of this high profile company. To this end we programmed their very own shop system, the backend of which includes order tracking, client profile management, automated newsletters and comprehensive product management that allows for extras such as online discounts and much more. With the front end, or public face, of the website the aim was to keep the design simple, functional and user friendly.
