Recent News and Projects
Ali.com store
One of the icons of the 20th century - an athlete and a personality without comparison - could he be The Greatest of All Time? There is no argument here. We were proud to partner with our friends at Circus Media to develop the official online store for Muhammed Ali Enterprises. Books, authentic signed memorabilia, and some excellent posters are all available through this custom catalog and e-commerce application, which is managed by MAE staff and integrates directly with their shipping and fulfillment partners.
Copley Society of Boston [Co|So]
CoSo is the nation's oldest non-profit artists association and gallery. Provided with stellar design and direction by Torque9 Media, Onset integrated our Visycs CMS to allow CoSo staff to update their constantly changing Exhibitions and Special Events information. We also provided a custom e-commerce solution, allowing visitors to register for Artist Workshops, pay member dues and make donations online.
StoopSales.com
A friend who has a passion for the streetside weekend sales that pop up all over Brooklyn got in touch with an idea to make her life, and those who share the love of the hunt, easier and more fun. Working from her design and direction, we developed Stoopsales.com, a site to find and list Stoop Sales (a yard sale for those with stoops) in Brooklyn, using Google Maps and Ruby on Rails.
EBSCOhost
Onset was proud to work with EBSCO Publishing to maintain and extend their EHConnect application using J2EE and mySQL. This application gives library members and students across the world access to EBSCO's extensive database of academic and popular journal articles.
