Sites we developed for the fashion apparel & sewn product Industry



	Portfolio
	We consult with each client to get a sense of what they want to use the web for. From static brochure sites that provide a glimpse of your business or organization to advanced interactive data-based online applications, we have the capability to deliver quality web sites designed specifically to your needs. As evidenced below, we do not produce "cookie cutter" sites. We custom build each site. Each site coordinates with the client's own established image using existing logos and colors. We have also worked with some clients to create an original "look & feel" when a preconceived identity did not exist. Below are screenshots of apparel and related sites* that we have created since 1995. Many have been updated at least once. The latest versions are shown here. *We have created other sites that are not related to the apparel industry. They are not included here.

Accessory Connection 1998 to 2003 Version: 1998	The Accessory Connection and its sister company, The Button Connection have two web sites that cross-link to each other. Well established in the California fashion industry, they provide a high quality paper catalog and wholesale clients are encouraged to order the catalog online. The sites emulate the catalog. They also demonstrate early use of javascript for impact.
Antaky Quilting 2001 to present Version: 2001	Antaky Quilting has been servicing the apparel and home furnishing industries since 1917. Already well established in their market they wanted a brochure site detailing the products and services they provide. We used JavaScript to create a rollover slide show of pictures of their facility.
Apparel Sources International 1998 to 2001 Version: 1998	Apparel Sources International, as experts in NAFTA, provided expertise in sewing production in Mexico as well as Central America. Although no longer active, the site was a brochure for their services. Using photographs of clean modern facilities in place in Mexico the site helped convey an image of a professional operation.
ApparelLink 1995 to present Version: 1997	As web technology evolves we make every effort to keep up. Usually it is our clients that benefit from the evolution of the technology but sooner or later we get to our own site as well. This is an example of the last version of the ApparelLink brochure site.
ApparelLink Expo 2001 Version: 2001	We created this Flash movie for our exhibit at the 2001 “FASHION TECHNOLOGY… BY DESIGN” Expo. It included links to many of our client sites to promote these more forward thinking, “wired” companies and organizations within our industry and to show how the Internet can be used to improve communication for those related businesses and organizations.
ApparelLink Index 1997 to present Version: 1998	Early in the web development process we recognized how difficult it is to be found on search engines. We created this simple, easy to use index to link all of our industry-related sites together. This way when an industry professional finds one of our sites they have easy access to the other related sites that would also be of interest.
Assoluto 1998 to 1999 Version: 1998	Here is another example of a brochure site that makes use of photographs and JavaScript to show a clean, professional facility.
Button Connection 1998 to 2003 Version: 1998	The Button Connection and its sister company, The Accessory Connection have two web sites that cross-link to each other. Well established in the California fashion industry, they provide a high quality paper catalog and wholesale clients are encouraged to order the catalog online. The sites emulate the catalog. They also demonstrate early use of javascript for impact.
California Fashion Association 1998 to 2001 Version: 1998	The California Fashion Association membership is made up of many important California based apparel industry companies and organizations. Beyond a brochure, we designed this site to include a “live” interactive membership list that could be maintained by the CFA office staff.

Our challenge was to portray this accomplished and professional business with enough whimsy to allow the sense of humor to be evident.
Fabric Sources 1998 to 2001 Version: 2000	From March of 1998 until February, 2001 we provided the Textile Association of Los Angeles (TALA) an online repository for their membership information. For years they have sold a paper directory that is published once a year. By the nature of the process the information was months old by the time the directory was printed. We created the utilities for them to provide always-current membership information on our web site. Through our marketing efforts the subscriptions to this online data provided TALA with a substantial source of revenue.
Fashion Business Incorporated 2002.... Version: 2002	This non-profit organization incubates new and growing Fashion companies.

Manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, sewing contractors, pattern makers, designers, and apparel marts all converge in this 82-block business improvement district to create a vibrant and eclectic business center. Fashion District was referred to us when they wanted to add search capabilities to their existing static web site. Using their office data and their already established “look & feel” we created the underlying tables on our own database server and seamlessly incorporated a search page into their site. We also created password-protected, form based utilities that enable them to maintain their own data on the server without incurring additional costs.
Fashion For Profit 2001 to present Version: 2001	The Fashion For Profit web site provides an overview of the process of starting a Fashion business. It draws from the first chapter of Frances Harder's book Fashion For Profit.
