North American Website Rebrand for HTC with Performance Boosting

  • Agency Partner: HL2
  • Year(s): 2009
Back in 2009, HTC was coming on the scene as one of the leading mobile device manufacturers but were struggling with little brand awareness with consumers, and a website that was ill-equipped for direct e-commerce. Ramping up for the launch of a series of new HTC-branded devices, they brought our agency partner HL2 in to develop all of the channel marketing materials for five new mobile phone launches, along with redesigning and redeveloping the HTC NA website. HL2 brought us in as a partner, and we placed one of our developers on-site for five weeks to build out the front-end of the website, adding various lightbox and scrolling effects, and updating the HTML and CSS for the best look and performance.

Custom greeting cards using Adobe Scene7 and JavaScript

  • Agency Partner: Samantha Caudill, LLC
  • Year(s): 2010

Samantha Caudill, a one-woman agency out of Ohio, contracted Twelve23 in 2010 to help with a project for her client Poppin Prints. At the time, Poppin Prints was a manufacturer of custom greeting cards, and they needed some tailor-made functionality to allow consumers the ability to personalize their greeting cards online by uploading images and having them appear over the card template of their choice. The challenge was rendering various sizes of image uploads in their actual sizes and dimensions on the card templates. When evaluating the end client's needs, we opted against a custom build and took advantage of features found in Adobe Scene7 to configure images. We then built a JavaScript wrapper application that would connect Scene7 with the site's CMS, which was managing the pages.

Sirius came to Twelve23 with a project for Golfsmith, a nationwide retailer. Golfsmith wanted users to be able to personalize golf balls with logos online for custom print orders.
