Unit Verse

After a nice long holiday break with our families, the Unit Interactive team is back at work on some cool projects. Some notable items in the 2010 hopper include:

Unify
After an interesting start (more on that in a later post) our simple content editor, Unify, is cranking right along and we’ve been very pleased with the adoption among designers and developers. Now roughly 4 months in, Unify has been much improved from the initial release and is currently in v1.1.5. We accomplished our primary launch aims and it’s time to pay some due attention to our favorite app. We’re working on updated information and a new design for the Unify website (getting away from the Unit Interactive website clone), which we plan to launch sometime near the end of this month.

JustMadeMyDay.com
Just Made My Day is a new project for us that we decided to do just because. Mostly, it’s a continuation of our effort to help make the web a happier place. It also comes with the added benefit of allowing us to flex our UX and backend development muscles in a fun and happy way. We’re looking to add features and media integration on a continuing basis, but mostly we’ll see where this goes according to where the public takes it. Hope you enjoy!

Woot
We’re now in our third calendar year of work for Woot and every week of it has been great. We’ve worked with them on developing pie-in-the-sky ideas, we’ve brainstormed new directions and features, and we’ve designed and developed the ongoing flood of required new properties, features, and pages. Notable items include the re-imagined Shirt.woot reckoning, the Kids.woot site, and their newest property Deals.woot. Work continues each week as we address new things and refine the details of the Woot user experience with the great team at Woot Workshop.

Brickyard Partners
We’re very happy to be continuing our collaborations with Howard Mann of Brickyard Partners in 2010. After the recent launch of the Ivey Institute for Entrepreneurship, the Brickyard Partners blog, and others, we’re already hard at work on the next of what we hope is a succession of new projects with BP.

Vector Media Group
We’ve been working with the guys at Vector Media Group for quite a while now and have enjoyed every minute of it. Having worked with them on two of their internal projects (including redesigning their website) and a handful of collaborative efforts for other clients, we’re again working with them on their own brand.

Sewanee: The University of the South
After our initial project with Sewanee (which we’re excited to say will be launching in February), we were enlisted to redesign two of the primary components of the university’s web presence. Details in the near future.

And more…
In addition to these we’re working on other projects that will soon see the light of day. It’s fun and busy times around the Unit offices these days and we’re having a great time. We’re looking forward to a wonderful 2010. Hope you are, too!
