What we’ve been up to lately

Here’s what’s been going on at Livewire in the last few weeks – because, well, why not? It’s a blog ,isn’t it?

Finishing up the LDM iphone app – which has been a big project that has presented us with some unique challenges. The Android version is likely to come out even before the iphone one simply because IOS has some, shall we say, uniqueness to it that makes hooking all 3 systems together a problem.

We’ve taken on some new clients including a really fun website from a English transplant to Gainesville who has ties to the Civil War. The website follows the story of a Thomas Jackson and is really unique. We’re so glad we have a chance to work on a project like this.

Started a new redesign with an Alachua company –  a large website rebuild

Started a website for Budding Biologist – a local company that creates science materials for children. This site will be a lot of fun. It’s been a long time since we’ve done anything related to children or learning.

We’re finishing up the Flour Pot Bakery’s website. Very nice design that we’re quite proud of.

Creating a web app for a food truck service – can’t spill the beans on our blog here but it’s going to be quite useful to a large target market. We’re building this app with a couple of associates over at PWH Tech.

TNT Graphics will be getting a new shirt designing software program. They just need our help installing and configuring a third party solution – we’d love the opportunity to build one of our own but the market is pretty saturated and we just don’t have that kind of time.

We have about a dozen other projects going on at this time – PHEW!, it’s been a busy, busy summer.
