Texans Care for Children is a small non-profit that really cares about kids in Texas. They publish a lot of information, mostly about working with legislators to get kids the kind of help they need.

They not only publish lists of helpful links, but PDF documents, tip sheets, and informative brochures. On top of all that, they wanted to publish a regular blog to keep their clients in touch with new developments.

With the help of our TopDog CMS, we created a professional web site with a clean layout and easy-to-read fonts. We integrated TopDog with WordPress, and together these two tools allow them to generate the information they need to publish, when they need to publish it.

Building an XML-powered Flash Viewer

Customer: XCEL ARTS
Problem: They needed a way to build Flash presentations on the fly.
Solution: We built them an XML-powered presentation tool that can play text, images, movies, and sound.

XCEL ARTS is a successful high-end design firm with strong competencies in multimedia. One of their clients, an industrial manufacturer, presented them with a unique challenge: he wanted to be able to easily create multimedia presentations without having to use the more complex commercially available presentation tools.

We proposed an XML-powered Flash tool. Users could drop assets into a special folder, update the XML file, and the Flash tool would dynamically update a navigation menu of presentation pieces.

The tool can display text, images, and play movies, Flash animations, and sound files. It is lightweight and portable, and a simple addition allows it to play external files (such as Word documents) and link to live Web sites.
