* Flash menus and animations

Carl HarveyCarl was born in Jamaica and then immigrated to Toronto, Canada at an early age. His life was transformed at the age of 13, when he picked up his first guitar. "I remember standing in front of a closed music store at night with my brother, with our noses pressed against the cold glass, gaze affixed on the rows of solid body electrics hanging there, wondering what it would be like to own one." - Carl Harvey www.carlharvey.net

University of Wisconsin System

Highlights:

* Printing and mailing the old paper copies of the Regent's agenda used to cost about $35,000.00 a year. Moving the agenda to a searchable PDF document cut the cost to almost nothing! Meeting attendees can now print as much of the agenda as they need from their own PC's.

* Streaming Video capability was added in the form of RealMedia™ to showcase important events. Purchasing a non-linear video editing workstation and digital video camera was part of the solution.

UW System AdministrationThe University of Wisconsin System needed a new website. There were over 15,000 HTML pages in need of major overhaul. The challenge: work with a limited budget, acheive accessibility compliance and train dozens of workers to use cutting-edge software to keep the site running smoothly. Every campus had to be represented equally - all 29 of them. With over 150,000 students, the site recieves millions of hits every month. Take a look for yourself. www.wisconsin.edu

*Every good University needs a News and Events site
*Madison Chancellor Inauguration Video
*President's Convocation Video

Assessment in Student Affairs

Highlight:

* The conference information needed to be presented in a logical manner. It also needed to be easy to maintain. This was accomplished without compromising the look and feel of the site.

Assessment in Student AffairsA Systemwide conference on Assessment in Student Affairs was held in 1999. This web site was developed to foster communication among UW Institutions and to provide a mechanism to share assessment resources.
Academic ADL Co-Lab

Highlight:

* SCORM is the hottest thing in distance learning. It has gained industry-wide support from leading vendors, making its success as a standard inevitable.

Academic ADL Co-LabThe Academic ADL Co-Lab is a joint venture between the University of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Technical Colleges and the Department of Defense. They are developing and testing the SCORM standard for distance learning content. They trusted the professionals at WebGrinders to design and develop an attractive, functional web site to represent higher education in the ADL Initiative. See it at: www.academiccolab.org

Silver Dragon T'ai Chi and Quigong School

Highlight:

* The Silver Dragon seen on the home page was originally a pen drawing on paper. We scanned the drawing and converted it into over 1,200 vector shapes. We then applied a unigue gradient fill to all 1,200 shapes to produce the dazzling "Silver Dragon" seen today.

When approached about designing the Silver Dragon site, we were asked to deliver something modern that retained some of the mystical feel of the ancient art form of T'ai Chi. As you can see, were were very successful:
