- Adult Amateur Dressage AccessLisa Schmidt, a re known east coast based USDF S Dressage Judge, former event manager, dressage trainer and previous USDF committee member, came to us with an idea: To build an online presence that is specifically designed for the Adult Amateur Dressage rider in the United States. She also wanted a design that was clean, easy to use, yet elegant. We think we rose to occasion and were thrilled with the possibilities.
Site is WordPress based, with high use of CSS/PHP and photos with a membership based restricted content. - Gabe Hordos ProductionsA membership based website for a small animation production studio. Design was to facilitate, membership for a free in order to gain funding for future productions. Company wanted to keep look and feel as simple as possible with protection for the animation films.
Technology was based on PHP/CSS/HTML Fully Responsive. - Equestrian ConceptsLong time client Regina Antonioli, wanted a site that reflected her style and favorite colors, but also performed a vital function to her horse show management business. We put her on WordPress, so that she could personally manage the site, to keep maintenance costs down.
PHP/CSS/HTML Fully Responsive. - Holmberg & Wadeborn DressageOne of our first clients and longest client. Holmberg & Wadeborn Dressage wanted a site that would expose their business to a community outside of their own connections and present horses for sale, but mostly to be a tool for their own clients on events and happenings with the training bar. This present is stunning version 4, after being one of the first training business on the web.
Starting out with simple HTML, they are now PHP/CSS/HTML Fully Responsive. - Durham & Newton Legal RNDurham and Newton has a problem when they came to MMD. They were on Wix, where the company would not allow them to change from Durham Legal Nurse, to Durham & Newton Legal RN, did not allow any new features outside of the templates. Worse WIX would not transfer the domain name. Yet they liked their site. We were able to help by reproducing the close copy of the site and open up the options they needed for their new partnership. We were also able to put them on our servers, at a equivalent cost to WIX. We upgraded them to a WordPress environment, taught them how to maintain their own content and are available anytime they have questions.
PHP/CSS/HTML Fully Responsive. - BioRider FitnessBiorider Fitness is another transfer client, who is quite good at updating and keeping content current. What she needed help with is reducing her hosting costs and taking care of technical problems as WordPress updates and changes and then some new looks and methods to sell products, while keeping her costs down. We are happy to help.
PHP/CSS/HTML Fully Responsive - Steffen Peters DressageWhen the WordCup Dressage Champion and 4 time Olympian calls, we were honored. Steffen had a idea for a brand new website that could educate individuals who would normally not have access to him. He wanted it to be through videos and membership based, to offset costs. We answered the call with a completely new look that was simple to use, intuitively understandable for an industry that technology is not a priority. We also made sure that it just worked on the display devices of the day: mobile. To save costs, we put him on WordPress, that allowed his staff to upgrade video content on the fly, while maintaining a understandable UI. He also wanted to make this site profitable, so we implemented a membership system based on a monthly system.
PHP/CSS/HTML Fully Responsive plus Mobile - Surf City DentistDental professional have to scramble to make ends meet. In Surf City Dentist case they needed a site that would be useful to the younger generation, while still being effective for those less inclined with a computer. Through implementing a scroll bar system, clients can instantly see what services can be provided, without having to read long and tedious text. The slider highlights the features of the practice while giving viewers instant access to the individual services.
PHP/CSS/HTML Fully Responsive - Ridely ResourcesFrom our neighbor to the North, Ridley Resources desired a custom website that express her business. The challenge was to put a visual on the many different services she offered without overloading the viewer. We created a snap-shot effect by using imagery and a set of gears that represented how this business combines services from many to create a incredible project.
This site was developed with HTML/CSS/Animated Gifs. - Dr. Timmie Pollock - Equexcellence.comWe were excited and honored when Dr. Timmie Pollock called, a re known Sport Psychologists for the Equestrian World.

Theme Parks & Museums Portfolio
From 2003 to present
Disney, a company of a million dreams and educational goals. Storm Struck was a virtual 3D ride where guest got to experience foul weather in a safe environment. To backup the educational aspect of the experience, we created the post-show set of kiosk that allowed guest to play games,match questions and send a post-card home to remember the attraction by. At the same time, the sponsored attraction desired marketing data, so we built in the ability to track answers and send the information to the sponsor automatically, on a monthly bases. LBE Attraction with Windows PC/Environment using C++, DirectX, Macromedia Director and connected by a global network. We speced the hardware and wrote the software from scratch.
Storm Struck - Disney EPCOTOne of our proudest projects in which Debbie Kurth won the coveted THEA award for best interactive design. Rebel Spy was a Show enhancement to the full 3D Star Tours experience. It blended a guest from the ride, into the story by showing their pictures in full 3D. The code was written in Visual C/C++ and interfaced with the standard Show Control system. We would love to tell you more, like how we got those pictures...but then we would have to kill you.
Star Tours "Rebel Spy"Math Alive is a interactive museum kiosk attraction dedicated to exposing children to the wonder of mathematics. We came to the project when the orginal vendor quit unexpectedly and yet the attraction has a show date in less than 3 months. Happily we were able to resolve the software issues. upgrade to to display Arabic and upgrade the computer system with the surrounding set work.
Math AliveContinuing in the Disney tradition of blending education with entertainment, Where's the Fire was one of our largest challenges. With standard home computer networked together we ran 18 different screens, all at the same time and coordinated the guest interface with "magical" flashlights that acted like mouse cursor for up to 3 people at the same time. Debbie Kurth wrote the software from scratch, using only the gaming tool DirectX and built in Artificial Intelligence into the networked gaming server to coordinate the efforts. Project existsed for over 10 year, past the 3 year expected life. Written in C/C++ using hidden blob technology. Project received multiple Patients.
Disney EPCOT : Liberty Mutuals "Where's the Fire"What is an attraction without a post show. Guests can take a picture of themselves, in front of a real fire truck and then place cartoon based icons to decorate their picture. They then could send the picture home, via email. Written with C/C++ Under Microsoft Windows and Macromedia Director.
Where's The Fire - Post ShowWe upgraded AstroBlasters the ride, to be able to include players that were not just in the park, but could also play the game online!. By collecting the scores and trasmiting them around the world, guests could have a unique virtual experience. In the end the scores were tranmistted to their online partners and in park guest got to send a picture of themselves, with their scores, plus their virtual riders, home via email. Engine was written from scratch using Microsoft Visual C/C++ under a Windows environment. This attraction is still active and live today.
Disneyland Astro Blasters- Online Game, Score and PostCardWhen Disney came to do a post show using photos of guests in the park, we thought fun..when we found out it was in Japan, it took on a whole new twist of culture. Using camera technology, triggered by a breaking a light beam, we were able to hide a camera in the attraction and without a flash, take a cool picture that the guests could view once they left the attraction and within the attraction store. Custom C++ programing using AVT networked based camera.
Hide & Go Seek Post ShowText messaging can not only be used to send a message to a friend, but why not a virtual character! We used a text message service to a specific number that allowed guest to relay their questions and comments to the actors within the attraction. This in turn allowed the virtual characters to "come alive" as in a talk show. Great fun! Use C++ dedicated application, talking to the show control system and text messaging service.
LaughFloor Text Messaging Joke SystemAs an extension to the Liberty Mutual "Where's The Fire", we added a post show that allowed guests to take their picture with a full size fire truck and email the photos home. It added to the fun by them being able to place different stickers on the photo. Design of hardware and software using a AVT fiber camera with a custom C++ application and tied into the Walt Disney Pro Online servers for email capability.
