IWillBe.in – Geo Location Service

The Forge — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:41:18 +0000

Traditionally, geo location services have always relied on current locations, which allow users to share where they are or have been, but not where they will be. IWillBe.in uses a Google Maps-based system to help users plan events, with Facebook and Twitter integration that enables sharing of future locations across social media timelines.

IWillBe.in offers a simple way for users to mark their location in the future, making it easier to know exactly where friends and family will be, and when they will be there.

Born with Style

The Forge — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:23:23 +0000

Born with Style imports, distributes and manufactures innovative baby, toddler and kid’s brands and products. The Forge Web Creations was supplied with the designs for the website and was asked to do the development, specifically on WordPress. With the use of custom post types and advanced banner management, The Forge Web Creations was able to supply Born with Style with a manageable solution. The team at Born with Style is able to update banners, products, home page text areas, sliders as well as control where all the buttons on the website link.

“Thanks! You always go the extra mile…We will certainly work with each other in the near future and you never know there may be someone I know looking for work who I will definitely recommend to The Forge.

Green Pages

The Forge — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:09:04 +0000

Green Pages approached The Forge Web Creations with the idea of creating a comprehensive green directory. The task would involve designing a website that was clean, fresh and targeted to the green industry as well as develop it in such a manner that the Green Pages team would have full control over all the listings in the directory. Using WordPress as a base, The Forge Web Creations met the requirements, to which the client was very satisfied.

“Wow! We finally put the site live this morning… We’re not doing a big launch, but will focus on getting it ‘out there’ in Jan.

It’s been quite a journey and learning curve for us, but I wanted to send a heartfelt thanks to you, Andre, and everyone who was involved – we really have a site we’re proud of and that I feel is going to work well for us.

You’ve been incredibly helpful and very patient, thank you so much! Really, The Forge has been great to work with and I look forward to the next project (don’t hide, next time will be way more streamlined!)

We’re so stoked that the site is sorted!”

December Wallpaper: Jewel Box

Andre — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:59:24 +0000

As the last month of 2011, yes, that December… arrives, to slowly sink below the lower limit of our vision, drawing the year to a close, against the textured, “carbon-fibre in party-clothes” backdrop disguise, we find? That there’s one final surprise, perched atop the month, it seems.

A gift. Wrapped in plain adornment, with a simple bow, it is our gift to you. Our thanks and our wishes of a safe and restful break from the year’s grindstone slog.

Rocket Films Africa

The Forge — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 11:19:19 +0000

Rocket Films Africa required a visually impressive minimalist site in which full screen background images changed contextually. Over and above this, we made sure that the background images scale to the size of the browser, and that the user is also able to quick cycle through these images by clicking on the background.

The client’s previous site was difficult, time-consuming and expensive for them to update. We have now built them a fully customized site based on WordPress where they can effortlessly manage themselves.

Some of the features of the new site are:

Easily add background images to specific pages and choose the order in which they are shown
Allow the client to easily and intuitively add, edit and sort their work portfolio, locations, talent, and team members. We achieved this by creating custom post types and sections in the admin panel for all of these types of content.
A fully fledged blog

“We are very happy with the beautifully designed site created for us by The Forge. They have more than met our expectations on the functionality, were quick to offer solutions or alternatives and have provided us with a site we can manage ourselves.” ~ Christene (Project Coordinator) Rocket Films Africa.

October Wallpaper: Machina

The Forge — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 21:26:33 +0000

We often mingle with the world, but our discovery is hidden away, as it can be in a small compass, and no one suspects who or what we are. We pass as tourists among out fellow men.
