A New Look For A Growing Company

Ogden Media, a Portland ME based HD digital production house, recently brought Level8 in to develop a fresh new web presence. With the sites primary focus on Ogden Media's video portfolio, Level8 utilized HTML5 capabilities in conjunction with a fall back flash player so videos work smoothly across mobile devices as well as standard browsers.

Additionally, a sophisticated content management system was put in place to enable members of the Ogden Media staff to update and maintain all aspects of the content, to help ensure their site stays current and relevant.

Just came across this site that uses the Google Maps API to raise awareness about the environmental devastation currently happening in the Gulf of Mexico. If it looks familiar, that may be because it's the same technology that inserts the Level8 logo on the interactive map on the contact page of level8ds.com. It's inspiring to see somebody re-purpose the technology to help make a difference.
