Preferred Offices
Preferred Offices is a premier, full-service, turnkey office and conference space service in the Washington, DC area. They wanted a web site that reflects the same impressive ambiance and level of service that they provide to clients in the DC metro area. Viget Labs provided that – we have been proud to support Preferred Offices' web site initiatives since early 2001 -- with an updated, professional, and easy-to-use web presence. In fact, we’re working again this year to implement techniques, including a landing page strategy toward maximizing conversions, that will… More ›
Amanda Ripley
Amanda Ripley, a senior writer at TIME Magazine, has traveled the world studying disasters, natural and man-made. Her book, The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes — and Why, is the first mass-market book to explain how the brain works in disasters — and how we can learn to do better. When she asked us to create a site that featured the upcoming book and supporting information about disaster survival, we knew we had to deliver a design that would make this very important content easy to read and understand.… More ›
Razoo
Razoo promotes social good and inspires others to get involved by making giving and serving fun, easy, and meaningful. Razoo users rally others to join in causes they create, such as “Entrepreneurship in the Developing World” and “End Elder Loneliness,” meet similar-minded people, and perform actions to benefit the world around them. To support such a global mission, we built a customized Ruby on Rails framework to manage the limitless social network and its content – from photos to blogs to groups and everything in between. We integrated a sleek,… More ›
Odeo
When Odeo first launched in 2005, initially a podcast aggregation service, it quickly grew to support hundreds of thousands of users. When a new investment team purchased the site in 2007, they needed a team that could rework the user experience, redesign the interface, and rebuild the Ruby on Rails code base. The new site, launched out of beta in July of 2008, now includes video content, a custom search tool, and improvements to both the interface and technology infrastructure.

Now, thanks to his new web site developed by Viget Labs, his fans can follow his success online and share Brian's unique brand of comedy with friends around the world. Viget Labs worked closely with Brian to create a site that captures his personal style and gives fans a chance to watch clips of his act, review his hand-drawn comics, or read about real events in Brian’s crazy… More ›
Kettler
Kettler is among the top twenty real-estate development and management companies in the nation, and they wanted their online presence to better reflect their full portfolio and capabilities. We built the site using Expression Engine for easy content management of their many apartment, condominium, planned community, and mixed-use projects, which are easily accessible from landing pages catered to each property type. Thanks to a smart user experience complemented by a clean, contemporary color palette and overall design that emphasizes their imagery, the Kettler site’s performing better than ever.
More ›Pay The Fan
Pay the Fan attempts to do what no other Fantasy Sports provider does – pay a half million dollars to the world’s best fantasy team owners. Likewise, creating their website required serious strategy – it was a fully customized and energized project that required integration with external vendors to ensure the statistics and timing systems were perfect. With a great team at hand, we designed a user experience and visual design fit for Pay The Fan's NFL and NASCAR loyalists. Users, within a gorgeous design based on the color of… More ›
Loladex
Loladex – which is still in beta -- helps users tap into their social network and editorial reviews to find the best local spots for everything from coffee shops to car repair to dentistry. Loladex returns results based on personal relevance, so the recommendations from that user’s friends and selected sources bubble to the top. They gave Viget a thumbs-up to build this Facebook app in Ruby on Rails. We ensured the clean, vibrant design was complemented by an in-depth, intuitive user experience. It's still early, but hundreds of Facebook… More ›

Strayer University
Strayer University is a leader in online education and has expanded its reach to support 45 campuses across 15 states. They needed to manage content across their growing staff and site overall, so later we created a portal for their more than 30,000 alumni. Coupled with Flash features like a campus search, the site has provided this education leader the updated look and infrastructure they were seeking to experience even more success online.
More ›Squidoo
Everyone’s an expert at something. In 2005, well-known author and Internet marketing pioneer Seth Godin wanted to allow people to share their expertise through easy-to-build web pages (called “lenses”) in a way that would generate revenue for themselves and for charity (as well as Squidoo). Building a scalable platform that would support millions of users, custom-built pages, and transactions required a team with technical depth, an eye for usability, and a firm understanding of what makes Web 2.0 applications effective. Viget Labs partnered to provide the optimal team and Squidoo… More ›
Healthy Child, Healthy World
2007 PIXEL AWARD NOMINEE! Healthy Child, Healthy World "is dedicated to protecting the health and well-being of children from harmful environmental exposures." When they came to us with their important purpose and new branding initiative, we knew the site had to deliver an exceptional design and manageable content solution that met their needs.
