We are continuing to put a new face on San Rafael, CA based production company Dandy Dwarves! We’ve just launched the new website featuring a plethora of new and old work. There are some projects in there from way back in our college years even!

For the site we wanted something that looked artsy, but still played well with web standards. From our research, it turns out to be one of only a few production company sites that aren’t Flash based — which is a good thing. Building the site complient with web standards will allow for better search engine optimization and an easier way to link to specific projects.

I’m surprised at how many large production companies have terrible websites in which you can’t link to a specific project. Can you imagine getting inspired by something and wanting to share it with your creative team or client? The conversation would go something like, “Ok go to blah.com. Wait for it to load. Now do you see a projects link? Ok click that and wait for it to load. Now is there a Directors link? Click that and then click on Joe Schmo. When his thumbnails animate in go to the third one across and second one down. Yeah that’s it!”

We can just send ‘em a simple link directly to any page. That’s how it should work.
