Welikesmall : Redesign of Oscars.com
The Oscars are the second most watched TV event behind the Superbowl, so it was important for Welikesmall to give the stalwart award show a website that encapsulated the beauty, grace and craftsmanship it represents. The site boasts tons of content, from an interactive timeline, games, videos and more. Top that with a mobile experience, and you’re left with the most comprehensive and definitive Oscars site ever.

Uncorked Studios : Sprint Times Square
As part of their Unlimited Data Everything campaign, Sprint wanted to create digital connections to Times Square through animated billboards and mobile devices. Uncorked Studios partnered with Goodby, Silverstein & Partners to create the mobile experience. Built around a simple postcard rack metaphor, the site allows users to select their favorite card and send it to a friend via Facebook, Twitter, SMS or email. Recipients would receive a link to the animated postcard. The experience of sending and receiving a card is identical across Android and iOS platforms. To create this level of seamlessness and cohesion was no small feat. Defying traditional convention, this site is only available via mobile devices.

Uncorked Studios : Sprint Center
Remember when people would hold up cigarette lighters at concerts? Now in its place is the mobile phone in every pocket waiting to be lit up. As part of Sprint’s All Together Now campaign, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners worked with Uncorked Studios to develop a mobile website that could take advantage of this and provide fans with a set of “cheer tools” concerts and sporting events as well. The mobile tools included foam fingers, team colors, air-horns, and of course the cigarette lighter.
The site was built to achieve device support for as many users in attendance as possible, so after deliberation, they ditched the swiping and sliding interface compatible with newer devices and opted for a sleek streamlined site with straight-forward access. Mobile video plays a big role in this project as well, and required Uncorked to creatively implement video playback in multiple different ways.

Welikesmall : Smokey Bones
Getting a chance to redesign their very own Webby award winning site for Smokey Bones was a task near and dear to WLS’ heart. The old site had all of the bells and whistles from the time period it was made in – full of Flash, easter eggs, VFX/motion and green screened videos – it set a new standard for restaurant websites.
The times have certainly changed, so for the new version of the site, WLS was still able to celebrate Smokey Bones’ signature style and humor, but this time under a lean and mean HTML5 and mobile optimized build. With its easy navigation, great content and a platform agnostic experience, WLS once again sets the bar for how restaurant websites should function.
Technologies used:
- HTML/CSS (HTML5)
- JavaScript
- Full CMS driven for both website and mobile
- Animated GIFs (Cinemagraphs)
- Geolocating
- Platform agnostic

Lollipop : Sprint Biz360
Continuing their successful relationship with GSP, Lollipop was proud to develop Sprint’s Biz360 website that shows the benefits of having your business connected to Sprint. Lollipop developed the entire website, as well as edited and helped produce the videos on the site, which highlight three unique and successful businesses that currently use Sprint’s services. These super slow motion vignettes use interactive hotspots to detail the benefits of the program.
Additionally, prospective businesses can view all of the Sprint services and products, as well as view pricing and plans through a simple interface. For users on tablets and mobile devices, Lollipop also created an optimized version for whichever device you choose.

Welikesmall : The New Denny’s
Denny’s is the cornerstone of truck stops, Holiday Inn’s and the last legacy of true diner Americana. So it’s with great pride and a side of bacon that WLS presents the new Dennys.com.
Full of “HTML 5.0″ goodness (not really thats just the new buzzword for AJAX and JS that is sophisticated), and more tech code we than we could have imagined which complements a tight design. We wanted to showcase the open nature of Denny’s.
The new site delivers big on mobile compatability, social, and localization, all running off a .Net backend. This could be our proudest site launch of the year, check it out while it’s still fresh. Somebody give us a “Moons over my Hammy.”

Welikesmall : Pereira & O’Dell’s agency site
There’s no higher a compliment an ad agency can give a shop than to ask them to create their agency site. After a handful of successful projects, Welikesmall was honored to be given such a task by our friends at Pereira & O’Dell.
The site had to be slick, smart and full of personality: just like Pereira & O’Dell. The site is a marriage of brand new tech – most notably with an HTML5/mobile/iPad optimized front end powered by a great CMS – and some low end tech by the way of loads of easter eggs and animated GIFs.

SilkTricky : Favorite Website Award
Congrats to SilkTricky for taking home an ‘FWA Mobile of the Day’ award for their Crash the Superbowl mobile app for Doritos and Goodby, Silverstein and Partners.
Uncorked : BarBird Mobile App
Portland-based startup BarBird was developing a new way to find bars, clubs and happy hours online, based on data aggregated from Twitter. Looking to extend the experience to mobile, they reached out to Uncorked Studios, who cranked out this incredible design and interface in barely a month. Features include:
- Two different views: List View and Map View
- Google Maps-like interface, with pins representing venues near the user
- Clickable venue icons that pop-up tweets about what’s happening
- Filter both views to see Happy Hours, Specials, Live Music, No Cover, Ladies Nights and Tonight Only
- Time Awareness – pins in Map View fade as Tweets age, and time stamps change color in List View
“What BarBird represented for us was a self-indulgent romp through what it means to be agile,” said Uncorked’s John Furukawa, Director of Product Development. “Within a week we had an app for them to look at and feel like their product had been realized. After four more weeks of development it was live.”
“They were a really awesome and energetic group, and I’d say that rubbed off on us,” added Uncorked Executive Producer Marcelino Alvarez. “They really epitomized what it means to eat, sleep, and breath your product.”
BarBird was so happy with the look and feel of the mobile app that they adapted the experience for their own website. You can check out the app at the iTunes store here.

SilkTricky : Favorite Website Award
Congrats to SilkTricky for taking home an ‘FWA Mobile of the Day’ award for their Suburu mobile app.
SilkTricky : Subaru Mobile Site
We all know mobile sites can be a bit dry, a bit boring… and often times a bit ugly? Well, recently SilkTricky recently teamed up with Carmichael Lynch to design and produce Subaru’s new mobile site and the result is a far cry from the norm.
Silk was tasked with creating an optimal experience that aligned with the current Subaru.com. The site focuses on the shopping experience, providing users with key features and model information while on they’re on the go.
SilkTricky, no stranger to designing for mobile devices, used thoughtful art direction to consistently bring the Subaru brand to the mobile web. Mobile is an evolving medium making the technical approach a bit tricky. SilkTricky made full use of the Webkit engine to provide an app like experience for the mobile web. They leveraged jQuery Javascript framework to provide a full-featured user experience including location-based services that are available via Geolocation on enabled devices.
In the end, SilkTricky’s intuitive design gelled perfectly with Carmichael Lynch’s attention to detail providing Subaru with a clean and helpful site that Subaru lovers everywhere can utilize along their journey for a new car.

Lollipop : Sapporo Beer
Lollipop worked with Dentsu to create a site to support the launch of the Legendary Biru campaign for Sapporo Beer.
The creative for the campaign tells the story of the brewing process, weaving Japan’s deep cultural heritage into the narrative.
The site itself is centered on a character – the Sage – who is the keeper of the legend of Sapporo. He leads visitors on a ‘treasure hunt’ through the site where the goal is to collect a number of hidden scrolls. Some are easy to find and tell a brief story about the beer, while others are well hidden and require diligence to unlock. Those who reach the end of the journey are given a message tailored to the number of scrolls they’ve discovered, while those who manage to collect all 15 scrolls are entered to win a trip to Japan.
Lollipop designed and built the site, in addition to shooting the Sage video. Sons & Daughters shot the live action, while Crush created the CG, mattes and final compositing.
