1.1/Got2Go
Got2Go is a mobile and web application where users can search utility points such as ATMs, Restrooms on their route or around current location.
With this app, our client Peter wanted to address a problem he frequently faced while traveling with his kids on highways. Finding restrooms with good sanitation facilities was a guesswork. They wanted to create a twist to search that would focus on different utility points.
Launch the app!
Users can not only search for different locations, but can also add, rate & suggest places and share their searches with others; on any device.
Search filtering by type
Users can filter the results by different types of location, and on desktop app, also change search radius.
Full-screen mode
You can always see the map in full-screen mode by click of one button.
Multiple Modes for Routes and Search
Users can search for locations on a current location, as well as create a route of their journey and search for locations.
Custom Short-URLs
Users can share their search results from any routing mode on any device. To maintain the user experience, if a desktop URL is opened on mobile, mobile application will open with the search results.

1.2/Amber
Amber Pharmacy is Omaha, NE based family-owned business, that has experienced fast growth over last few years. They have opened branches in other US cities as well.
Denver, CO based agency DAAKE wanted someone to help them with creating a WordPress website for their client, Amber Pharmacy. We were brought on board to give life to their designs from Photoshop mockups and create an additional mobile theme as well.
Launch the site
When we looked at the beautiful designs for Amber"s Desktop and Mobile sites, there were contextual differences which called for much different content to be delivered to mobiles.
Mobile Detection
We used mobile detection plugin in WordPress and created a different theme for mobile site. There is always a link at the bottom of the site if a user wants to use Desktop version of the site from a mobile.

1.3/Miscellaneous
We create illustrations for various reasons - to include in a project, or often purely for fun.

1.4/Footerama
Footerama is a footer gallery website, created and curated by us, to showcase best in the footer designs from the World Wide Web.
Footer had been a neglected element in web design, until very recently when there has been a torrent of creative footer designs — big, fat, illustrated, flashy. We wanted to capture some of these beautiful designs in a single location, and flex some design muscles of our own.
Visit the gallery!
Like all galleries, users can submit, rate and comment on showcased footers. The website is powered by WordPress.

2.0/Process
As always, it begins with an idea.
2.1/ Discover
You have an idea. You and us get in touch. You explain the idea to us, and we listen, learning more about your concept.
When we have good grasp of what you are looking for, we go to our drawing-boards, and chalk up a plan to create a proposal and often a prototype for you.
2.2/Design
We create wireframes to establish a flow of the information. Once both you and we, are satisfied with the overall direction in terms of structure and form, we go on to make sample photoshop mockup* to give you a feel for what it would turn out to be.
2.3/Code
During 2.1 and 2.2, we have identified the most suitable open-source technology that can be used to address your solution. We use either a CMS, such as WordPress or PrestaShop; or custom code a solution using CakePHP or our new muse, Ruby-on-Rails.
For fairly straight-forward solutions, WordPress is our go-to-guy.
2.4/Deploy
Testing is an iterative process. We test the product at each state, hence ironing out wee bit niggles as early in the process as possible.
As for the complete testing, we beat down the site or app to pulp. And then, you get a result that will stand the different environments bravely.
As Steve Jobs said, Great artists/designers deliver.
As the test-approved site or app is ready, we deploy it to your server and to the world.
3.1/About/Ethos
3.1.1/User Experience as a founding stone
At 3SC, we put much of our focus on User Experience. Not only browsers with different capacities, and different devices, we also put consideration on accessibility, old age users and differently abled users.
3.1.2/The Five Ws and an H
Remember the nursery school rhyme? Asking the right questions, is the key to nailing down the most accurate information needed for a project.
3.1.3/Content-centric design where Function meets Form
Keeping the eyes focussed on the goals of a website, without getting carried away by the trends and techniques, requires confidence of a different league. We have it, and we are happy to use it for your product.
3.1.4/Jack of all trades & Master of One
We learn, train and work in a way that each member is good at more than one skills, and great at at least one. So our backend programmer can work on frontend code, and the designer can wield javascripts along with PSDs.
3.1.5/Fun is the name of the game
We value your time, and ours. We don’t work extra hours just for the sake of it. Rather, we nail down the concept through the Five Ws and an H.
3.1.6/1 part Experience + 2 parts Fresh Ideas = 100% Awesomeness
We have a good mix of youth and experience in our team. Alongwith the two senior members with lot of experience in different skills, we have one member fresh out of school. This gives us an edge of our challenges by having a fresh perspective, with a pinch of old-worldery wisdom.
And did I tell you we are so much fun to work with?
