Moving our line of work to the very fundamentals of interactive experience, we are taking on more and more User Experience Design jobs, consulting established web and mobile entities. Our team took on UX design work for Spark Networks' JDate's new mobile app creation, H2 Wellness' Nutrition App, Lukas Partners website experience, and Russ Reid Denver Rescue Mission website.

A snippet below of a current project we are working on. It's the website for Bocek Yapim, Istanbul, a commercial and feature production company, showcasing their work, directors, and production capabilities.

This past year, 3 of the new websites that we designed and developed went live.  We created the sites for: A historical venue in Santa Barbara that welcomed grand events from Hollywood Premieres in Audrey Hepburn days, to Broadway shows and globally known artists. A business leadership and coaching company whose educational methods travel from the US to Istanbul. And a Nebraska based PR company with major clients from all over the states and also providing Fund Development, Social Engagement and Events Organization Services.

Fake Crow is a young company. We know what it means to be competing in an economy that is being redefined as we live in it. We have to be on top of our game to provide the top scale service to our clients. The first step is to smoothly run the internal affairs of our business and invest in growth. There are hundreds of great resources and tools for a company like ours. But I find podcasts to be the most convenient. When I'm driving to work or while I am at the gym, I can easily have my ears open to new content. I am absolutely addicted to them. There are a dozen that I follow but these 3 are especially MUST LISTEN TOs for small business owners and entrepreneurs. 

NPR's Planet Money Podcast- This is a great economy podcast. It's fun and humorous, discusses international money matters and studies all of the crazy complicated economy jargon in simplified terms, tangible examples and analogies. (Perfect for the morning drive to work, when your head is most clear and open to digesting maths.)

Wall Street Journal on Small Business- This podcast consists of very tiny 5-10 minute-long talks, quick tips and tricks about running a business and inspiring interviews with small business owners. (Goes well with a brief session of ab crunches. Compliments physical ambition with motivation for work.)

Technology Podcast- Regardless of your being a geek or the type of business you run, being aware of where the world is going is fundamental. This podcast is full of potential inspiration to develop a new business model or a chance to discover a new solution that might become the key opportunity to take your business one step ahead. (Suits a 30 minute-cardio session on the treadmill. Feels like running into the future.)

Design and development for soladynecapital.com is finished and the site is live now. Soladyne Capital is an alternative energy and funding company in California. Fake Crow has also designed and developed the site for Soladyne Institute

SolaDyne Capital develops energy efficiency retrofit/sustainable energy plants for commercial, industrial, and government clients.

SolaDyne Capital (SDC) is a hybrid engineering–finance firm that structures, develops, implements, and syndicates units in an energy efficiency retrofit / renewable energy system for institutional, corporate and government user clients; the projects generate revenue by capturing the user clients' existing utility costs through the energy saved and generated by the system.

A few of our projects that got started in 2010 will be completed in early 2011. Per our clients' privacy, we will only be able to share the screengrabs once the websites go online. Meanwhile, here's the hint of what's to come:

www.illumin8creative.com A Los Angeles based Creative Agency's portfolio site, showcasing company's work reels, graphics images and videos. (update: This site is live now.)

www.hmthinklatino.net  For Overeasy Media's client HM Think Latino, we developed an entertainment news and pr portal, targeting the Latino Community in the US.  A Blogging and Social Media site with striking visual content on current movie blockbusters.

www.farmacy.com An E-Commerce website for the Venice based herbal medicine pharmacy.

www.sonkiuc.com Fake Crow's own enterprise SONKIUC will be launched in March 2011. Stay tuned.

Fake Crow's own, www.takintiliyim.com is a social micro-blogging website in Turkish language. Takintiliyim is a story sharing platform for visitors to sign up and share their humorous obsessions and rituals. Fake Crow's Alper Cakir came up with the concept, and developed the website. Fellow Design Director Mine Atalar designed the logo.

This summer Fake Crow created Mobile Application pitches for two established brands in Turkey: MIGROS Supermarket Chain and ARCELIK Electronics Company. From concept, functionality and interface to design and execution, we pitched two intensive mobile applications as well as custom mobile games to enhance the consumer experience and brand image of these corporations. 

Interactive Director Alper Cakir took a freelance gig and designed and developed www.gcq.com. Global Care Quest, a Division of KARL STORZ Endoscopy-America, Inc, delivers visual clinical intelligence to surgeons and clinicians.  The website is mobile friendly, specifically for the iPad.
