We pride ourselves on getting to know our clients, and The Atlanta School shows why — TAS is full of great folks and fantastic educators that have been friends and colleagues for many years. But rebuilding TAS’ web site at theatlantaschool.com was special to us for another reason: the old web site was the very first that Rhys and I ever built together, back in 1999! Then known as DPC Productions, we poured a lot of heart into the site, if it was certainly showing its age by 2007…

The new site sports a gorgeous, fluid design that of course highlights the creative energy of the students. It has an integrated blog, powered by WordPress, and colorful galleries of artwork, photos, and videos.

The Atlanta School is also where The Media Spot got its start — Rhys made his very first collaborative videos with TAS students. Check them out in the Video Gallery!

We’ll always be grateful for the creative support from the folks at The Atlanta School that helped us get started. We hope their new web site serves them well!

EDIT: Belated thanks to TAS for the kind words on their own blog.

I was excited to hear ImpactGames’ Asi Burak on NPR this morning, discussing PeaceMaker with Steve Inskeep. We’re glad to have done a lot of work with ImpactGames, including coding and consultation on their web sites and online delivery of the PeaceMaker game.

The interview is available on npr.org, and Asi has also posted about it on the PeaceMaker blog.

Kudos to Asi, Eric, and all the ImpactGames folks for this coverage of their excellent project.

We’re excited to continue expanding our working agreement with the Pratt Center in Brooklyn. We’ve been working with them for years, and have big plans for the next 12 months… Projects will include work on multiple web sites, and finally converting long-standing static sites to be completely dynamic with full control of the content in the hands of Pratt Center staff.

We’re thrilled that as the Pratt Center has continued to embrace Internet-based platforms for news and promotion, we’ve been able to help them every step of the way, including this year’s giant leap forward!

Stay tuned for more news about our work with Pratt Center.

Congratulations to my other half here at Dtek, my long-time friend and business partner Rhys. He was married last week at a gorgeous ceremony in Ojai, California. Cheers, Rhys and Nicole! May you enjoy a long, peaceful, prosperous life together.

We’ve just launched a new web site for Urban Policy Development, a Baltimore-based urban planning firm that connects public development needs with private capital and management.

The site gives UPD an initial presence on the web, and in the future will provide details on UPD development projects. We’re excited about the site’s uber-flexible and minimally-elegant design: our best example yet of semantic and accessible code that can respond effortlessly to the visitor’s monitor, browser, font, and other preferences.
