Starting in March of 2008, Indoor Football will be back in Milwaukee… The new team is the Milwaukee Bonecrushers.

I worked on the build of their web site mkebonecrushers.com, which had to be completed in just a few days to be ready for their first press conference. I think I prefer sites that have to be built quickly with short deadlines as opposed to projects that go on and on and on. (There’s a site I’m working on now that has been in progress for 11 months. We’re hoping it launches before a full year is up.)

Oh yeah, back to the football. Honestly, I am not much of a football fan (saying this in Wisconsin could get me strung up, but it’s true) but I’ve got to know some of the Bonecrushers, and these guys are passionate about what they are doing: having their own team, and having it in Milwaukee, has been a dream of theirs, and it’s exciting to see it come true.

If you want to see this crazy brand of indoor football, where it’s up close, on a small field, with 7-on-7, and narrow goal posts, they’ll be playing at the U.S. Cellular Arena in 2008. (But keep an eye out for exhibition games in 2007.)

We just launched the brand new z-2.org, which is the first step in the re-branding of Z2 Marketing + Design. This site was a real challenge compared to most of the other sites I’ve worked on in the past year. There’s a decent amount of Javascripty/Ajax stuff, without overdoing it, and while we used some Flash-like things here and there, the only place Flash is currently used is for playing the audio and video pieces in the portfolio.

Take a look around, and let me know what you think. We’ll be doing various tweaks as time goes by, but all in all, we are pretty damn happy with the outcome. We hope you enjoy it.
