Once familiar with the success of the new website for the YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit, the Ann Arbor YMCA approached us for a redesign of their online presence.

We worked with the national book retailer to launch their first-ever live webcast events - an in-store performance with indie-pop, singer/songwriter Ingrid Michaelson, and a fan discussion forum for Twilight Series New Moon with actors from the film.

We designed and developed two sites for the Ann Arbor-based non-profit center, one for the main Center for Eating Disorders web page, and another for Bodywise, a recovery program for binge eating.
