Hitched in Hawaii

(Web Design)

Hitched In Hawaii is a local wedding company. They wanted a site that would really stand out. We took a look at wedding sites around the web then came up with a bright, wide-open design unlike any other. Using advanced ActionScript, we designed an attention-grabbing, easy-to-use Flash layout that allows visitors to "scan" the horizon and take in the same breathtaking views enjoyed by newlyweds in Hawaii.

As a new wedding company just starting out, Hitched In Hawaii approached us looking for a logo that would best represent their company.

Dino-Mite

(Character Creation)

Dino-Mite! T-Rod is a prehistoric biker dude with a sweet set of wheels and attitude to spare. He's daring, reckless, and always on the lookout for adventure! He's a bit slow, but he makes do, with that itty-bitty brain of his and with the help of his little buddy Stan. Stan tries his best to keep the two of them out of trouble and for a little bite-sized guy like Stan, having a T-Rex for a friend sure is handy!

Additionally, we restructured the entire site making it search engine friendly, conducted an extensive link campaign, and cleaned up the source code using optimized HTML and CSS.

(Character Creation)

Preferably, something that would acknowledge the event's local roots. And thus, the Hopu Ka Lewa Menehune were born.
