Directive

Dr. John Gregory, Richard Baker, and the Serving Orphans Worldwide team commissioned Whiteboard to establish a new brand, web presence, and strategy for their organization.

Solution

Through a series of meetings our team collaborated with team member and humanitarian photographer, Mia Baker to present a holistic reflection of Serving Orphans Worldwide on the Internet.

Directive

As sales were on a steady rise, Southtree needed a more efficient way to process and manage their orders. They called upon Whiteboard developer Ben Fleet to implement a new, less time-consuming process.

Solution

The primary hang-up with Southtree's order processing system was the requirement of repetitive manual input and switching of pages in the company's backend management panel. In order to streamline the process, we implemented a barcode scanning system which allowed receiving, labeling, and shipping to be done much quicker than before. Barcodes that correspond with the customer's order number were generated and placed on shipping labels, packing slips, and other convenient locations, enabling them to be scanned and properly handled by the advanced, custom application we developed.

Overview

A documentary about a young man, Rocky Braat, and the work he is doing with AIDS orphans in Chennai, India. We have been inspired by Rocky, and only wish to create a conduit through which others can also be inspired. Rocky is no one special. He’d tell you that, himself. His e-mails are full of misspellings and typos. But he has given his life to the love of others. We are creating this documentary to tell his story; the story of an ordinary man who is trying to live a life in which love is the only value. A story that takes us from a life destined for middle-American success to an impoverished orphanage and all the while repeats the idea that love is not a part time job. That love can do just as much good here as it can in India.

Whiteboard partnered with Blood Brother and built a one-page web platform that showcases the trailer and allows viewers to share it with their friends. We built a responsive platform that scales depending on a users screen and device.

A project in partnership with Matchstic: A brand identity house.

Directive

Matchstic created artwork for an innovative homepage for Catalyst 2012 - "Make."

We were asked to bring the design to life across multiple platforms and create an interactive way for users to participate in the "Make" theme. And so we did.

Solution

This site utilizes horizontal scrolling, video backgrounds, fixed navigation, and other HTML5-rich elements. Catalyst asked us to brainstorm ways for users to contribute to the "Make" theme, so we suggested creating an interactive drawing tool that allows users to "make" something of their own and share it with the world.

Directive

Passion commissioned Whiteboard to build an interactive platform to manage a web stage for the live stream and creative an immersive online experience for viewers.

Solution

We used the Bitgravity platform for streaming and media security. We also utilized a highly customized version of Wordpress to allow the Passion Livestream team to change the availability states of the streamed or recorded videos.

The site itself was an immersive experience offering a live feed pulling from Twitter with over 20 key terms, as well as a contact form for technical problems and a live messaging system to push messages from the tech team to the users during their streaming process. We utilized Amazon EC2 clusters to handle the server load, which at times reached 15 thousand concurrent streaming connections. The Whiteboard team was on-site for much of the conference to field technical problems and ensure stability and the smooth operation of the platform during the event. During the gathering a beautiful moment transpired when #HowGreatIsOurGod became the #1 worldwide trending topic on Twitter.

Overview

There are more than 2.3 billion Christians, more than 5 million churches, more than 43,000 denominations, and more than 12 million Christian workers across the globe. With all these resources amassed, why is the task of reaching the entire world still unfinished? The Issachar Initiative exists to serve the body of Christ by empowering vision and focus so its resources are strategically directed toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

Directive

In September of 2010, Paul Saber, Dr. Paul Eshleman (Founder of the JESUS Film and Past Chairman of the Strategy Working Committee for Lausanne), Canadian businessman Terry Mochar, and Pat Murdock began to meet and discuss the need for such an organization, and this is how Issachar came into being. Executive Director Pat Murdock appointed Whiteboard to illustrate an identity that would reflect core values of the Issachar Initiative, build a web platform that would emphasize awareness elements of the Great Commission, and allow users to join the movement through social mediums and opportunities.

Solution

Robbie de Villiers worked with our team to conceptualize the identity for the Issachar Initiative. We built a high-impact platform that allows people to engage the mission, current statistics, and a video that gives the vision for the Issachar Initiative. The platform is geared towards distributing weekly resources and information about upcoming Summits. Our team continues to work alongside the Issachar Initiative on web strategies and other projects.

Solution

Our team began piecing together the brand presentation for People For Care & Learning after traveling to Cambodia in October 2011. We utilized a presentation that would impact different types of users by offering a variety of initiatives both locally and globally with three different panels outlined on the homepage of the website.

Once launched, the website gained more unique visits in one day then it had the previous twelve months. Also, by enveloping a holistic strategy for social media implementation, Toccoa Falls College continues to gain traction through consistent content output.
