AKGold Accomplishments (Description by Andrew Gold):
I produced this site while Creative Director of OMIX, Inc. I had lead the design teams to produce the main website for Global Internet and Global Internet recommended OMIX to WCAS.
This site adeptly satisfied the WCAS design objectives of refined yet understated. For many years this version of the site served its business objective. What seems outdated today was at that time extremely impressive. Websites have consistently evolved and sometimes knowing the past gives one more powerful insights into the future.
We were in the process of taking the site live when WCAS made a cash bid for Compuserve. A few journals jibed about the humor in WCAS purchasing a major Internet company while not even having a website. The articles and potential acquisition gave an added boost to finish the project ahead of schedule.
Satisfying the client has always been a key driver of AKGold projects.
