Kipling Looks to ID Society for First US Web Site

admin — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:00:52 +0000

When Kipling wanted to establish the brand in the USA, they turned to ID Society to develop its first USA Web site. Leveraging guest designer and pop icon Fergie, we created a site that emphasizes the brand’s laid-back, fun lifestyle, appealing to Kipling’s young, casual chic audience. Along with Fergie’s new line, the site also offers an interactive look at their entire line of bags including the If/Basic, City, Club and Gorilla Girlz collections.

The site’s background offers beautifully captured photographs that align well with the spirit of the Kipling lifestyle and express a sense of youth and fun. This new, fresh look successfully engages visitors, helping to increase awareness among an American audience.

The Web site was developed to transform to e-commerce in 2008. For now, a store locator allows visitors looking to purchase a bag from one of the collections now to find the nearest retail outlet.

ID Society Releases WordPress Plugin

admin — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 19:14:30 +0000

ID Society have long been proponents of open source software. Much of the work we do for our clients runs on Apache Web servers, using PHP and MySQL.

Our Technology team has recently built a number of projects using the blog publishing software WordPress. Given our long-standing commitment to the use of open source software, when WordPress was lacking features our team needed to deliver, they wrote the functionality from scratch. Now that the team has had a chance to kick the tires and make sure it’s up to snuff, we’ve released the code and it’s available as a plugin download from the official WordPress plugin directory. The plugin allows WordPress moderators to define more than one email address for comment moderation notifications.

Nautica.com Launches

We recently launched Nautica.com and we’re quite proud of it. The site is built in Flash and is integrated with Nautica’s beautiful advertising campaign imagery to connect users with the brand. We worked hard to ensure the site’s content is separated from the Flash presentation and is therefore accessible via any device that can read XHTML. ID Society built the Web site intending for it to grow into a full e-commerce site in the future, allowing it to offer a more complete online experience.

The 2007 A List Apart Web Design Survey

admin — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 13:57:33 +0000

The good people at A List Apart are conducting their first annual Web Design Survey. If you work on the Web in any capacity, we urge you to take a few minutes to complete the survey. It’s hard to solve problems like “Why isn’t their more diversity in our profession?” if we don’t actually know what the problems are. This survey is a good step towards measuring the current state of affairs.
