“Plinko’s approach and execution of our website was flawless. A mix of creativity and forward-thinking functionality, Plinko has created a site design that looks great and will scale easily as we grow.”- Andrew Smith, Publisher, XLR8R Magazine
XLR8R came to us with a story that we actually hear a lot. For several years they’d been focused on one aspect of their business (the print version of their magazine), and as a result their website was being neglected. Although it was still functional, it just needed a fresh coat of paint, so we helped them out with a new design, partially based on their magazine’s format.
Plinko was able to create a site that was easy to navigate, and include all sorts of new popular features, like a weekly mp3 blog. Since the redesign, xlr8r.com has seen a huge increase in traffic, and continues to grow, having recently added a weekly Web TV show, music videos, podcast, photoblog, and much more.
