HTML5 Fun
Websites utilizing HTML5 are popping up all over the internet, creating web apps that don’t require Flash, or any other plug-in for that matter. The grand practical uses are being explored by sites like Scribd where you can read all manner of books and documents, viewing them as pages you can scroll down, as a slideshow, or as if they were turnable pages.
On the less practical but more playful side, a great many web developers are using the new features to explore their creativity.
Hakim El Hattabb has several games and all-around cool apps on his website. You can create a tune, avoid red dots, or play with particles.

Want to explore your creativity? Give deviantART‘s recently released app, Muro, a try. Some of the artists on deviantART have created pretty spectacular paintings with Muro. It’s certainly a lot of fun to play around with!

Perhaps, no other client of ours is more famous than the television drama Guiding Light. This show made it to the Guiness Book of World Records as the longest television drama to have ever been aired on television and radio! Skytemple created a closed social network to keep the cast, crew, and staff connected and up-to-date with the latest conversations and opportunities..
We also worked fo Do Something, an organization that encourages young people to become socially aware and responsible through the use of the social media. The organization connects the efforts of teenager and young adults to resources and support. Skytemple developed a flash based game as part of Do Something’s online campaign.
Just as inspiring, The Snapple Tri-Team, sponsored by Snapple’s Lyte Water, is comprised of professional and amateur athletes who participate in various triathlon and duathlon competitions. Skytemple designed both the team’s website and uniform!
We are also proud to have designed a website for Mooreland Hill School, an independent school that serves children in middle school age in central Connecticut. For more than seventy-nine years Mooreland Hill School has been a vibrant community of students, faculty and families whose primary purpose is to bring high quality and individualized educations to its students.
Finally, we enjoyed working with J. Polep Distribution Services. This company specializes in distributing primarily food products to small retailers. Since 1898, the Polep family has been running the business for more than 100 years.
We have so many great clients that we can’t do justice to them all. This is just a taste of some recent highlights, and we hope you enjoyed the insight!
