iPhone Application Helps Cyclists Find the Safest Route

2010-04-20T14:03:00.000-07:00

Brooklyn, NY (April 19, 2010)– Ride the City, a free website that helps bicyclists find safer bike routes in cities, launched its first iPhone app for New York City cyclists.

“Ever since we launched Ride the City, we've been getting requests for a mobile version of the application,” said Vaidila Kungys, co-founder. “Just in time for summer, cyclists can take Ride the City’s suggested routes in their panniers, pockets and backpacks no matter where they are in the five boroughs.”

Ride the City partnered with DOOR3, an interactive application development firm based in Manhattan, to design and develop the iPhone app. “This is an exciting organization to partner with,” said Peter Neufeld, President of DOOR3 and a cycling enthusiast himself. “It was a great tool as a website and it's even better as a mobile application. The Ride the City iPhone app takes advantage of the best mobile technology has to offer the urban cyclist – making it a breeze to find the safest route to any location in New York City no matter where you are.”

Key features of the Ride the City: NYC iPhone app include:
• As on the website, the iPhone app steers cyclists toward routes that maximize the use of bike lanes, bike paths, greenways, and other bike-friendly streets. The app avoids high-traffic streets and steep climbs.
• Users can adjust how far they’re willing to go out of the way for safer streets, and can choose a more direct route instead.
• The directions are displayed on an easy-to-read scrollable screen – perfect for double-checking a route when stopped for a break.
• Find the nearest bike shops (and get directions to one) with just one touch.
• Ride the City’s routing data is built on user feedback. The Report an Error button is displayed prominently on the map, allowing users to provide suggestions when the app steers them the wrong way.
• As on the website, Ride the City utilizes a CloudMade basemap that is sourced from OpenStreetMap, the volunteer community mapping project that is making a free map of the world.

The app is available from the iTunes App Store for $1.99, less than the cost of a Metrocard or a gallon of gas! For users who would prefer to not pay for the app, they can access a version of Ride the City formatted for Mobile Safari at www.ridethecity.com/iphone/nyc.

While this iPhone app only covers bike routing for the five boroughs of New York City, the Ride the City-DOOR3 team are finalizing apps for Austin, Chicago, Louisville, San Diego, Seattle, San Francisco, Toronto and Washington D.C.

Ride the City was created by Vaidila Kungys and Jordan Anderson, friends who met while enrolled in the urban planning program at NYU’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. The web-based service is available in Austin, Chicago, Louisville, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, San Francisco, Toronto and Washington D.C. For more information, visit www.ridethecity.com.

DOOR3 Business Applications, Inc. has been designing and building interactive business applications for clients since 2002. For more information about DOOR3 and their iPhone development services, visit www.door3.com, or contact Peter Neufeld directly at peter@door3.com.

Titlepage.tv Goes Live

2008-03-03T12:41:00.000-08:00

We were able to push Titlepage.tv live today on time and on budget. We gained critical functional advantage by deploying Drupal as the application framework and CMS. I was especially impressed with the flexibility Drupal provided the design system. Typically, you are faced with a trade-off - more functionality for a less refined user experience. Not this time. We were able to match the Drupal 'theme' we created to our design compositions to the pixel! We are using Drupal on several other projects and I am quickly becoming a convert.

Titlepage.tv

We have been working with the founders of Titlepage.tv to develop their new Web video site for launch on March 3rd. Check out the article in the New York Times.

zootoo.com goes live!

2007-10-29T16:02:00.000-07:00

Challenge
Founded in 2007 in response to the massive pet food recall, zootoo.com is the first community generated Web site devoted to all pet owners. After a beta launch, the zootoo executive team gathered requirements for a rapid site re-design that included an enhanced user experience with new functionality to meet user demand. They needed a flexible agency that was capable of creating a functional and unique expression of the zootoo brand in a very tight timeframe.

Approach
DOOR3 brought strategic design and implementation resources to work with zootoo to come up with a design system that would embody the Web site’s mission and prove usable to a targeted demographic. We worked with senior technology and marketing resources to specify features, design page templates, and develop the Web 2.0 presentation layer that was eventually integrated into their backend systems. Our team went onsite with zootoo at their headquarters, working seamlessly with the zootoo executive, marketing and information technology teams to shorten review turn around and provide rapid, on-the-ground assessments for new features.

Results
“We were able to meet our deadline with more features that initially anticipated. The DOOR3 team was instrumental in supporting our internal technology and marketing teams throughout our aggressive delivery schedule. They stayed with us until the job got done and delivered a complete design system for our new Web site. We look forward to working with them as we expand and grow zootoo to become the number one opinion-sharing web site for pet lovers everywhere.” Marcello De Luca, CEO, Zootoo.

Crown Holdings, Inc. Partner with DOOR3 to Launch New Global Corporate Web Site

2007-06-25T11:19:00.000-07:00

Based on Crown's Brand-Building Packaging™ ethos, the site was created to help brand managers, designers, packaging engineers and other specifiers learn more about the benefits of metal packaging. The site also showcases Crown's role as a partner for the design, implementation and production of packaging that increases turnover at the retail shelf, adds differentiation and builds consumer loyalty.

"The launch of our new Website is just one example of how we are building and strengthening relationships with customers and with the industry overall," says John Conway, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crown Holdings, Inc. "The internet offers a fast, direct, and cost-effective medium for us to communicate success in our industry and to address the main market drivers influencing the many industries we serve worldwide."

The new Crown Website covers key trends and technologies in industries from food and beverage to cosmetics and personal care to household and industrial markets. In addition, Crown's five business divisions are represented, giving visitors quick and easy access to product data and direct contact details.

A dedicated Innovation & Design section focuses on Crown's unique innovation skills. Intended to foster creative thinking and be a source for inspiration, this portion of the site features exciting new technologies, concepts and award winning packages, an innovation timeline and much more.

B2B Marketing

2007-06-20T07:40:00.001-07:00

“We had the same corporate identity for 25 years. It was time for change. We’ve grown considerably, expanded into new markets, and opened up offices in Europe and Asia. Our logo was no longer reflective of the company we had become. In addition, our identity didn’t reflect the way technology was changing our business.

DOOR3 came in as strategic partner and applied meaningful process and innovative design and technology strategy to our corporate identity needs, both in print and on the Web. As we prepare to launch our new brand in 2005, DOOR3 continues to provide strategic consultation on our brand, marketing and technology needs. They have exceeded our expectations of process and results.”

Introducing DOOR3

2007-05-27T10:18:00.000-07:00

On May 1st, 2007, we officially changed our name for A&N Design Studio to DOOR3. Since our founding in 2002 by Peter Neufeld and Alex Asianov, A&N Design Studio has been providing strategic services to companies of all sizes and in a number of industries. During that time, our services have become focused on helping our clients resolve critical business issues, help them build new efficiencies, and create new customers. While we still provide creative services, the moniker "Design Studio" has been removed in order to better highlight the range and depth of our business strategy and technology services.

DOOR3 provides interactive brand and marketing, business strategy, and in-depth business application development and enterprise architecture services.

For example, we helped transform an isolated IT software department in a leading medical data analytics company into an integrated, efficient, business-driven corporate function by providing integrated SDLC training (iSDLC), business analysis, and spearheading the formation of the Program Management Office to drive projects in a way that kept IT and business fully integrated.

We increased business agility and improved internal operational consistency for another client by unifying their disparate systems and databases into a more robust, and sustainable architecture and developing an online billing application that integrated several databases, and provided that client with a unified, auditable view of their receipts and broker payments.

We documented another client's business-critical eCommerce storefront and spearheaded business analysis for their strategic marketing-driven IT projects. And we continue to deliver unique interactive brand and marketing services to leading B2B companies.

Since our founding, we have worked with a number of leading companies in Financial Services, Online Retail Services, Mortgage Banking and Media & Entertainment, providing critical business consulting services.
