JAQK
I developed the website for the young clothing company, JAQK, in late 2009. The website is powered by WordPress, content heavy, and on day of launch received over 2,000 unique visitors. The website includes a blog, media section, e-commerce, and a completely custom mapping application.
The mapping application I developed queries Flickr's API for all photographs tagged with the companies name which are also geotagged. An array of those photos and their coordinates are then sent to a Google Map's embed, using the V3 API. Finally, users can see where the Flickr photos are located on the map.
All in all, the site uses social networking as its core– it is powered by 5 different APIs (Facebook, Vimeo, Twitter, Flickr, Google Maps).
