Organization: W Brand Studio Location: Newport Beach, California Title of Entry: “Renew Landscapes” Category: 105. Small Business Website |
Websites follow certain patterns and trends from year to year. What was hot yesterday may be passé today. Some companies not only keep up with the evolution of website design but set the standard.
W Brand Studio is a branding agency out of Newport Beach, California. Its client list includes a who’s who of the Fortune 500. They were asked to create a high-end brand for a Long Beach landscaping service.
W Brand’s website design for RENEW is simple yet elegant. The copy is sparse but meaningful without all the showy verbiage. And, if you are looking for all the menu buttons in all the usual places, you won’t find them here. The navigation is novel.

Organization: Pureblink Title of Entry: “Eau Du Soleil – Interactive Video” Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Category: 212. Videography |
Empire Communities is one of Canada’s largest integrated master-planned community homebuilders. Of course, before something is developed, you have to market it.
Pureblink out of Toronto created a video to showcase Empire’s Eau Du Soleil that overlooks Lake Ontario and the Toronto skyline with the emphasis placed on the condominiums’ expansive terraces. Since the property was not yet built, Pureblink needed to come up with a way to show potential purchasers what their lifestyle would be like living at Eau Du Soleil and the benefits of buying a suite with a terrace, as well the different views. The result is a stunning interactive masterpiece that combines beautiful cinematography, dynamic directing, and clever editing.
