Redwing recently completed a re-design of The Truth About Cars website. We were hired by Name Media to perform the design but not the development of the site (a first for us), so the completed product isn't 100% ours, but fairly close. The in-house developer did a decent job of keeping to the design, although the gray color is not as dark as it should be (IMHO) and he or she used tables in the layout which is a great disappointment for me. Initially I had conceived of the design being scalable horizontally for people with resolutions lower than 1024 x 768, however that was not implemented in the development.
My apologies to all of you out there with low browser resolutions, I tried my best. An interesting requirement from Name Media was the belt advertisement at the top. My initial designs had the ad above the header, however, they required it to be placed under the header as they saw a large jump in ad revenue when they moved ads on the site to below the main header. Ads in that location must be more difficult to ignore.

Redwing recently launched a re-design of www.strobe.com for Nova Electronics, Inc. The new site utilizes the Joomla! content management system with VirtueMart as the basis for the online product catalog. We’ve customized the VirtueMart presentation extensively for Nova to give them a unique look.
