See you at Drupalcon

We are attending the Drupal conference Drupalcon in Copenhagen next week. Drupal is our favourite cms system, and the venue is really close to our office, so we are very excited. We are bringing several friends to the free unconference on the first day, so that might be something to consider if you can’t afford the conference ticket.

We have started using Flattr

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 16:04:36 +0000

We have started using the beta version of the donation system Flattr. This system gives the users a very hands-on opportunity to show that they like something on the internet – by donating actual money. For more explanation go see a very informative video on the flattr website.

As this is an early beta version much is still unclear. It seems obvious that Flattr holds potentials for the niche content producer and generally regarding turning clicks into money.

We don’t expect to make money on Flattr ourselves (or maybe? at the time of writing we have been flattered 4 times!). We are just curious about emerging “businesss models” and the internet. And who knows, maybe sometime we might end up recommending a Flattr account for one of our clients.

Drupal is our playground

admin — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 11:41:40 +0000

We have been using the open source content management system Drupal since 2006.
To showcase the use of modules and other Drupal functionality we have set up a kind of test environment where clients can log in. Go to genau.dk/playground and have a look at the first beta version. The front page will function as a blog with posts (in Danish) about Drupal functionality.

Now we are off on a short trip to Berlin. The trip will be used for teambuilding and inspiration, and we are going to visit the international design festival taking place at the old Tempelhof airport.

Back in town

admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 13:21:32 +0000

We spent the weekend in the deep forests of Sweden and on the southern Danish islands respectively. Great to go completely offline now and then.. It was well worth it since we haven’t had time to relax lately – just look in our about + portfolio section and check out the recent website launches from us.

In particular we are very excited about the Niche Vine website because it features a fully fledged webshop. We have never built a webshop (for the Danish Dankort) before and learned a lot in that proces. The challenges of setting up a webshop that accepts the Danish Dankort are a bit more complex than for instance setting up a paypal shop for Visa etc. Now we can add webshop building to our competences!

We also launched Morgenstern & Hertling – a four language WordPress site created in cooperation with Manja in Berlin. Maybe some more work in Berlin will make it necessary for us to go there once in a while.

We also helped Netværk for Yngle Planlæggere (Network for Young City Planners) migrate their old Joomla based site to Drupal as well as adding a brand new design.

Have a look at our portfolio and come by for coffee soon.

Pimp my iphone

We got a little tired of our phones so we decided to spice up up the design a bit. Five iPhones and one Nokia 3310 were used in this Do It Yourself customization process, and the result is outstanding.

Ready for business

So we finally made some business cards. We have been working on them for three years and are quite happy with the result – a minimalistic standard design suitable for most situations.

Re-launch of websites for Samtalegrupper

admin — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:18:10 +0000

Today we finished a re-launch of the two websites www.samtalegrupperkbh.dk and www.samtalegrupperfrb.dk. Have a look!

The job required an interface that was interactive and easily updated by Samtalegrupper staff. For our solution we used WordPress together with a few jquery based plugins.

Furthermore we collaborated with Obey Films to create a short promotion video to be used on the website and on youtube:

This project is another result of collaborating with the other companies at our shared office space bryggen93. Five different companies and nine people now make it possible to deliver services across different (but related) areas like web, film, social media, print and/or real activism.

We are looking forward to more collaboration soon.
