Everyone here at PixelMEDIA understands the frustration felt by people who could not get through to the Great Appliance Exchange website yesterday, April 22. The fact that the program’s funds were exhausted within hours illustrates the excitement and demand that this program generated in so short a time.

At this point, we know that a very attractive offer, a limited window of opportunity, and a first-come, first-served model created a concentrated and intense online queue that quickly overwhelmed the primary website as well as the backup website and phone systems.

PixelMEDIA is working with all involved parties to improve the communication and timing of these attractive offers to implement added measures that will support the peak traffic demands that are generated.

Christopher Suprock, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of New Hampshire and first-place winner of the 2009 Paul J. Holloway Prize Innovation-to-Market Competition, is profiled in this Seacoast Online feature. The article also cites PixelMEDIA for providing more than $15,000 in communications and web design assistance to help Chris’s company, Exeter-based Suprock Technologies, achieve greater visibility. PixelMEDIA owners Erik Dodier and Thomas Obrey offer their perspective on the importance of supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs and PixelMEDIA’s commitment to giving back to the community.

In mid-July, two hockey sticks showed up on the desk of designer Onur Orhon. These weren’t the ordinary sticks you’d see at a sporting goods store: they were prototypes straight from the headquarters of Bauer Hockey, of the updated One95 stick and the brand-new Vapor X:60. All the hockey fans at PixelMEDIA crowded around and hefted the sticks, inspecting the technical innovations and admiring their lighter weight.

The sticks stayed in the office through the fall, as the PixelMEDIA team worked to bring them online. Bauer Hockey hired PixelMEDIA to tackle the MY BAUER project, a rich Flash application where players can purchase and personalize Bauer’s top-of-the-line sticks. From choosing a pattern, grip, and color to printing a player’s name right on the stick, MY BAUER walks users through their choices and gives a three-dimensional preview of their purchase.

When ViaLuxe, a premier retailer of luxury watches and goods online, decided to launch a new shopping experience, they started by talking with PixelMEDIA. To launch their new venture, ViaLuxe needed a developer who could support a catalog that changes daily and the rigor of fast-paced sales.
