Ready Credit iPhone Application v2

This project was all about evolving an iPhone application we built for ReadyCredit to the next level. Version 1, the prepaid industry’s first mobile application, was built on a foundational code base allowing for reuse of functionality across multiple mediums. Version 2 continues to do the same, and in addition, offers person to person money transfers, easier to read Account Balance screen, unlimited transaction history detail, in-app Google mapping and new card orders – built on a mobile platform to support cross-mobile functionality for the future.

Ratchet takes the Bronze in Overnight Website Challenge

The existing Bloomington Chorale (BC) site needed a web do-over. After a brief discussion with BC to understand their needs, the Ratchet team of 10, partnering w/ ideapark’s designer, dove in and exemplified agility laying out a plan to revive their web presence and brand in 24 hours. To name a few highlights, we delivered a newly branded site including a CMS, lead generation, a media gallery and media player bringing the sounds of BC online. Watch how the night unfolds or read more.

 

The Nerdery Overnight Website Challenge is an annual event that connects web professionals with nonprofits to leverage web technology to accomplish their missions.  Nonprofit reps don’t meet their development team until event day when they have a mere 24 hours to get aligned, get creative and get working.

Caprica Open Mic Facebook Application

Ratchet partnered with the Minneapolis-based agency, Fallon, to create the “Caprica Open Mic” Facebook Application as part of a larger launch of the new Syfy series Caprica … a spin-off of the Syfy series Battlestar Galactica (http://www.syfy.com/battlestar/). The application creates a forum for Caprica actors to connect directly with the fans by posing topical questions and capturing fan responses via web cam or video upload. Responses are reviewed and a set of 9 are compiled into a Caprica video documentary posted back to Facebook.

Ratchet developed the application to ensure Caprica team members and Fallon can participate seamlessly via a user-friendly administration panel that any user of Facebook can master.  This application was created and launched in less than a month.
