"I believe the countdown on your website is actually a random number generator."
Simon West, Former Chief Marketing Officer at Terremark.

Ask any design firm owner, and he or she will tell you the most difficult projects are the ones you do for yourself. We're dreadful clients: picky, don't know what we want, always changing scope, and worst of all we don't have a budget. That said, we threw down the gauntlet early last spring to develop an engaging, motion-rich (Flash-free) website, showcasing great work with which the agency has been privileged to create.

And, as is often the case with internal projects, this cobbler's child has gone barefoot for the summer and early fall.

We were so bold as to -- with all sincerity -- to set a countdown whose end date kept being knocked around by a string of unexpected client successes: new projects for Stratosphere. And so, our humble little countdown became a not-so-inside joke.

Well, here we are, and I'm excited to share this site with you. It's been a labor of love for our brilliant web director, Jack Williams, who met my crazy list of requests and tweaks with a smile, confidence and curiosity.

At the core of the philosophy behind this site is people. The projects we feature on our home page are not about web sites or artifacts, but about understanding our clients and the people they're reaching out to. For us, they are celebrations of hard-won challenges and unexpected adversity. We've assembled an amazing team here. Check out our About section and get to know the key players.

Visit us often, as it'll keep changing as we add videos, 3D laser effects and real-time fortune telling in the coming weeks.

Thank you for visiting and for your interest in our team. We look forward to meeting you in person and working with you soon.
