EE in the Wild: February 15, 2011

EE in the Wild is brought to you each week by our friends at Show-EE. Thanks to Marcus and Jeff for putting together these highlights each week.

Neon Skates

The first is Neon Skates by Pablo Boerr of Flia Web Design. When this one hit the #eecms twitter stream everyone was blown away. Clean, fun, bright accent colors on a dark foundation. This one really feels right. The textures are awesome. And the fact that it is for a Roller Derby team just makes it that much cooler. And Jen, their photographer, did a great job capturing some personality of the team.

Mekonta

The second is Mekonta, a site by John Cowen. This site has a lot going on but when you take a step back you really begin to appreciate it. Everything from the retro woman that highlights John’s 7 Step plan to John’s use of different typefaces to illustrate a point. I also like how he adds a “want to know more” area under each of his services that link to his portfolio, about and contact pages. Nicely done John.

Both sites are really nice, but I’m curious what the e-commerce solution was for Neon Skates (FoxEE, Carthrob, etc.). It looks nicely integrated.

Thanks for the kind words, NeonSkates uses Cartthrob.

You’re welcome and thanks Pablo, I appreciate the response!
