Blue Box Group Web Refresh

You may have heard us raving about the servers (and service) at Seattle's Blue Box Group. So when they asked us to design and build a new Rails-powered website for them, we jumped at the opportunity.

The new site – launched May 2007 – features a clean, hi-tech design with a strong focus on typography, to ensure maximum readability as well as cool factor. All this backed by a powerful Rails CMS that gives Blue Box's webmasters total control over their words and how they're presented.

Update: Blue Box was our hosting provider of choice (and friends of ours) way, way back in the ancient late-2000s era, first as a shared host for PHP sites, and later as a dedicated and VPS host for early-days Rails apps. Blue Box was eventually acquired by IBM in 2015 to bolster their then-nascent private cloud business — a great exit for some great people. I was happy and proud to have known them way back when and to have been a small part of their journey. — DD, Sept 2024
