"We hired Momentum Design Lab to design a new user interface for our web-based automated testing product. The whole team there was a pleasure to work with and David, as the leader of the whole effort, provided us with a team that quickly and competently provided us with a high quality design. We are extremely pleased with the results."

Social Media
Connecting with your users = build brand loyalty.
Social media is a growing element of websites and applications. More and more users are expecting the same types of functionality they have become accustomed to through social networks and online communities. Connect with your customers and give them a voice through effective leveraging of Web 2.0 and social technology - like online communities, social networks, user-generated content, RSS, virtual worlds, blogs, wikis, folksonomies and social tagging, and podcasting. Implementing these types of features into your project builds brand loyalty and weaves your product into the lives of your customers, to the benefit of your bottom-line. We offer a variety of services that will deliver your application or website to whole new markets and keep pace with and surpass the industry:
Since Facebook opened their development platform in 2007, over 15,000 applications have been developed to leverage the opportunity. Facebook currently has about 66 million active users, with more than 50% returning to the site daily. These statistics point to the number of people you have the potential to reach in this remarkable social context. You are only doing yourself a favor by expanding your business strategy to utilize Facebook. We are experts in designing, developing, deploying, and scaling a Facebook application that seamlessly ties into and expands your project. We have the expertise to integrate third party web servers, APIs, and databases into Facebook applications that encompass satisfying user experience and encourage continued use.
We also create Facebook applications that can be used on the Bebo platform.
Social Networks
The success of any social network is based largely on satisfying user experiences which keep users coming back. We create just that: a visual design and information structure that encourages the social aspect of online communities. We have created social networks and online communities with varying functionalities - from live-casting to group trip planning - that are visually appealing and immensely usable. If you are looking for a dynamic user experience for your application or website based on the tenets of social networking, we can give you exactly what you are looking for.
Blogs / CMS
As traditional advertising (commercials and billboards, banner ads and interactive flash ads) becomes less effective and more likely to be ignored, blogs are fast being recognized as effective ways to advertise. Blogs are compelling because they present actual content that entertains and informs to their receptive audiences, and they create authenticity that traditional advertising can no longer convey effectively.
At Momentum, we are adept at designing blog interfaces and setting up & customizing blog platforms and CMS systems (from Wordpress to Drupal) to suit your needs. We understand how to utilize blogs to maximize your potential to reach audiences and create relevancy for your products and company.
OpenSocial
OpenSocial is a more open cross-platform alternative to the Facebook platform. While applications developed for Facebook can only be used within that system, OpenSocial applications have the potential to be implemented on any social website - such as MySpace, hi5, Friendster, and Bebo. OpenSocial is a set of common APIs that, when configured to your needs and branded according to your identity, can be developed and deployed within multiple social contexts.
