Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger the body builder? Photographer-turned-documentary film making legend and founder of White Mountain Films George Butler introduced Arnie to the world with his 1976 film, Pumping Iron.

Butler has produced a great body of film and photography work since, and the old WMF website was not doing it justice. We took their existing branding and created a minimal layout to showcase their portfolio, film stills and photos. Under the hood, we gave the code an audit and overhaul for accessibility, search engine optimization, and ease-of-maintenance.

Keep an eye on whitemountainfilms.com for films on subjects as diverse as the ancient and thought-to-be-extinct Ivory Billed Woodpecker, and the ancient and soon-to-be retired football coach Bobby Bowden.

We recently built a web site for Seattle-based investor Alex Algård. The site is an initial Internet presence for Algård Ventures, and a fat-free way to connect him with groups looking for funding.

For us, it’s a great showcase of what we can deliver in a minimal project: elegant and clean graphic design and user interface with the i’s dotted and t’s crossed for accessibility and search engine optimization.
