Affinity Bridge developed the My Business 2010 subsite as a section of the main VEDC site that provided information to businesses surrounding the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.

The University of British Columbia Faculty of Forestry's Sustainable Forest Management Indicator Knowledge Base project works to spread knowledge and understanding about sustainable forestry indicators worldwide.

Taunton has a series of websites for each of the publications that provide additional content and discussion forums. The sites were previously running on a custom content management system (CMS) that was built in .NET and PHP, and we converted each of them to use Drupal.

We built a contest framework to support a social experiment on the topic of procrastination. Users were segmented into 4 separate roles, and each role was given different instructions on how to proceed with the contest. At a technical level, the contest platform enforces rules for a scavenger hunt, each contestant can only see the current clue they are working on, and once they complete the current clue, the next clue is revealed to them.

Wilderness Committee, in their mission to protect Canada’s biodiversity through strategic research and grassroots public education, is citizen-funded, and they wanted to better leverage their web presence to solicit donations. Affinity Bridge helped develop their online store and donations system.
