Gir Del Hydraulic Services
Last summer TransparentSmoke inked a deal with Gir Del Hydraulic Services to redesign their website. Straight out of the late 90's their existing website doesn't even do it's job of an online business card any more. We are looking at adding more information, redoing the look and streamlining the clients ability to update on their own.

Edmonton Sports Camps
Initial website design work on EdmontonSportsCamps.com was finished on April 7th 2006 and we have placed their new site online. The site is built on the WordPress Engine (a favourite for low budget sites). With roughly five hours of development time, EdmontonSportsCamps is the epitome of small business web design. The decision to use free software to automate the back end has enabled the client to maintain and update the site on their own. This is once again a proof of concept that a well thought out web design can save you money in the long run, despite it's initial cost.
TransparentSmoke is now working on a flash intro for the client. The idea is to elicit a sense of activity from the end-user, much the way actual sports do.

Almost famous
On the 10th of November 2003 our article entitled Maxim Should Be Ashamed launched us to number 39 on that days PopDex rankings. On November 11th we jumped to number 19 and experienced nearly 45,000 hits in a single day. To put that in perspective, PopDex indexes the popularity of over 14,000 websites daily. We were the 19th most popular destination in the world. (The exciting news is that our servers never went down)
Three days later our 5 minutes of fame was culminated by a mention in Wired.com the online tech magazine.
We've never duplicated our success, but it makes you wonder if we just might have something to say from time to time. With almost 75,000 hits to the Maxim article to date, we are confident we just might.
