Vicarious Visions, Inc., an independent east coast game development studio, wanted a state-of-the-art, database-driven corporate website to showcase its range of premier game products and services.

A rival of west coast game corporations, VV sought a dynamic site to provide visitors with efficient search capabilities for its catalog of 100+ games, while allowing for frequent internal site updates as new games and services emerge. Appealing to a range of end-users – publishers, purchasers, existing staff members and potential employees – VV wanted its site to echo its trademark environment and corporate style: a youthful atmosphere that couples fun, amusement and playful shenanigans with professionalism, sincerity and pride.

Spiral developed a fun, database-driven site that balances technology, innovation and whimsy, and provides the company’s IT team with the tools necessary for continual site updates with minimal effort.

Flash-detect: The site automatically serves up a different configuration dependent on the computer’s specific capabilities. Functional flash banners: Rotating and changing upon each page load/refresh, these banners promote the latest games developed by VV. Viewer can reveal subsequent screenshots with minimal clicks, right from the home page. Rotating character graphics: Atop each page, characters from popular games change upon refresh or page load, showcasing the variety of brands for which VV designs. This gives pages a variety of new looks, keeping the site fresh for each visit.

A visually rich site with maximum efficiency built in for all forms of users – even those dialing up at slow speeds.
