A fundraiser for the Church of Sweden

The last few weeks I have been working on a site for a fundraising campaign by the Swedish Church. The theme of the campaign is water. You can create your own fund, invite you friends to help you fill the buckets with water, and all funds are part of the big campaign fund.

The main challange of the production was making the payment methods run smoothly. Contributions can be made in to ways: using credit cards and direct bank payments through PayEx, or they can be made by sms. The PayEx system transaction requires the visitor to leave the campaign site, enter their credentials at the PayEx site, and then return to the campaign site. Data persistance and maintaing state is obviously an issue that needs to be handled throughout the transaction. I think we came up with a pretty good solution.

I also created an AS3 package with a complete set of classes for using PayEx, I will post that on the web somewere if someone is interested. (PayEx only supplies java, .net and php versions.)

Buy a used Volvo

Just before christmas we launched a new site for Volvo sweden, where you can search for a used car. The site is a flash front connected to the swedish site bytbil.com backend.

The design might not be spectacular, but if you compare the flow of interaction when searching and tweaking parameters to the native interface of bytbil.com, I believe we did a pretty good job.

Flash-wise, the site is a textbook example of the benefits of using the PureMVC AS3 framework

XC60 campaign featured as campaign of the month in New Media Age, UK

The Volvo XC60 launch which has occupied several members of the LBi Göteborg flash team for most of 2008 was featured in New Media Age, UK as "Campaign of the month". 

The prelaunch campaign included a site where a new section was revealed almost every month during the spring/summer, and then the launch site was released in the fall.
