Adam Howell, of The Weekly Standards, recently applauded the website we developed for the rock band Sloan. Updated every week, The Weekly Standards "is dedicated to recognizing sites that have been lovingly crafted with web standards and the future in mind."

As the following excerpt expresses, Howell commended the site's design both for its interactive elements and for the architecture underlying the system:

"Built as kind of an interactive haven for fans of the band, the silverorange team designed a photo gallery that fans can send in pictures to, an area where fans can submit reviews of live shows, and centered the homepage around the, previously abandoned, band weblog. All of this content is styled by one stylesheet and formatted without any need for tables. From album thumbnails to audio files, every page has the room and ability to scale as the content continues to grow. Before I saw the site last year, I'd never heard of the band. But after perusing it, I feel like I've known them for years. That - and not some barely watchable Flash intro that has to be updated with each new album anyway so, really, what's the point - is what makes a band's site a success."
