Recent Work
We took the new Xerox-Exchange site from a design to reality. We were brought in by One Design (working through Imagination Publishing) to handle the heavy lifting.
Our good friend Matthew Cassel started a photographic school called Picture Balata in the Balata refugee camp in Palestine. He teaches the children growing up in the camp and does a touring exhibition with their work.
So many of our aspiring photo friends pack their bags in the Windy City and head over the Big Apple. Dan Peterson is no exception. Have a look at some of his new NYC work.

A new backend...no pilates involved! Thursday September 6, 2007
Over the last few weeks Walker has been working with other core members of the Digital Web team to revamp the inner workings of www.digital-web.com. While you might not notice any changes when your soaking in the DW goodness, the entire codebase of the site has been redeveloped using Walker’s first programming love, the popular CakePHP framework.
This was no small task…rebuilding a site is time-consuming enough, but working with a 10 year old database can make things a tad more complicated (and frustrating!). Since Walker has been on this project, I have heard very few frustrated outbursts coming from his end of the office containing the phrase ‘Digital Web’. As a general rule, that means things went pretty smoothly.
I am sure Walker would have had a harder time if he weren’t working with some really great people on the Digital Web team. Matthew Pennel saved Walker’s keyboard some abuse, and Nick Finck, Carolyn Wood and Tiff Fehr provided much help and guidance. They all volunteered their time to help track and squash bugs and make sure the feature set rocked.
All in all, Walker and the rest of the team worked hard to convert an outdated codebase into a well-oiled machine that should keep Digital Web booming for a long while. New features and future changes should be much easier to implement, thus you will see some great new things coming to Digital Web in the future.
While I cannot consider myself a member of the DW team, I am proud that Walker has been able to invest some of visicswire’s time and energy into this project. We love taking great things and making them better. Congrats again to the team, and enjoy!
