Ever needed a smooth solution for translating content to a different language? Like, say, being able to click on a text inside the page and translate it right there on the spot?

CreOFF has been experimenting with different technologies and ideas since day one.  But uptill now links to those ideas were scattered around the web (or this blog)

That’s why now there’s a special space dedicated to (some of) the ideas that might become true apps:  labs.creoff.com

From time to time  extra ideas will be added, so check out this blog and the labs pages !

ReviewR is a showcase of a possible solution for reviewing websites and designs. It also shows some collaboration features like inviting people to join your review and give comments.

“ReviewR” is the name of a new Adobe Flex based AIR application that showcases a simple solution for getting feedback on your website designs.

For now, the concept is still in it’s early stages, with a fully functional “proof of concept” version  available around January 2009 for people that are interested in the concept and/or like to contribute to the final feature set of future ReviewR versions.

Some people were amazed when they saw the new version of the CreOFF site. And -embarrassing to admit- not all in a positive way. What happened to that nice old Flash site, original yet simple and to the point?

This is an example of a New Year’s card application (some 2 years old) but still something I would like to include in my portfolio. Not just because it was a fun project (the message you can send to your friend is made by typing and shuffling letters on the fridge) but also because this is one of the few occassions I had the opportunity to work with Coldfusion.

A while ago in 2007 Duval Guillaume made this bilingual mini-site for their client Dexia. And me, I got the chance to try out a PHP framework called CodeIgniter. What’s so special about it? Well… this was the first time I chose to work with CodeIgniter and I’ve been in love ever since.

For Happiness Brussels i helped with a dynamic mailing that required a personalised score to be shown in every mail.

Two graphs were included in the mail and actually it was *fun* to create the system that generated the personalised graphs for each mail. Oops… does that make me sound too much like a geek?

I ended up making separate classes for the LCD screen and the graph itself, so it was easy to change the graphs if necessary.

No, from now on graphs don’t scare me anymore

Somehow I have a special connection with maps. Maybe it’s because I like to travel and explore. Even when sitting behind my pc in a small room I wanna get the feeling that ‘there is more out there’. And working on maps is one way to convince you of that

These are two examples of map applications in Flash I made for Duval Guillaume. What’s interesting about these is that both have a Flash to Javascript connection so the Flash movie could communicate with the html page it was in.

A simplified version of that map can still be found on the Vlaanderen vakantieland site.

The second example was made for the Weekendesk.be website. It’s part of a search engine where you can select several items on the page (including the country and place on the map) to select possible destinations:

update: alas, you can no longer try it online.

A small minisite that i-Merge made for Tiense Suiker. It got a nice ‘cup shuffling’ routine where you had to guess under which cup lay the sugar cube.

I helped with the shuffling game and some of the finishing touches (like the registration pages at the end)

The minisite is no longer online now (was part of a campaign)
