Cielo Website

Cielo (which translates into “heaven”) started their own small chocolate factory here in Trondheim 3 years ago. Earlier these heavenly lumps of calories only were to be obtained in a few local outlets, but now there is an alternative.

We’ve recently completed their new website, which utilizes the Snop CMS. This merry occasion also marks Klipp og Lim’s first venture in the land of e-commerce as we are proud to present a neat and intuitive web shop. Drag items into the shopping basket and check out, simple as that. We’re also in the process of developing a new identity, the logo seen above included.

Cielo was earlier blogged by Made In Norway Now as well, and we suspect more will pick up on these tasty chocolate pieces in the time to come! You can also follow the boys on Twitter.

Studio Skeie

We recently finished a new dynamic website for Studio Skeie, as usual based on our Snop CMS. Hope you like it.

Also, all our videos are now also embeddable in case you’d want to post them elsewhere!

Trøndelagsutstillingen

We’ve produced a new profile and website for Trøndelagsutstillingen, another site that uses our Snop CMS. This site uses the whole browser window as a showroom for the exhibition.

We wanted to make a site which emphasized the works of art, and use photos of the exhibition space as backgrounds throughout the website. We also made a catalog and a poster, which we will publish here as soon as we’re able to take some decent photos of them.

Goto China Ripoff

In march, Eirik, who’s a part of Klipp og Lim, finished a website called Goto China – a photoblog from his class trip to China. The site, focusing on full screen images and utilizing RSS-feeds to display content, recieved much acclaim from several web award sites, including CSS Mania, Screenfluent, Best Web Gallery and Most Inspired to mention some. In it’s first month the site had over 20 500 hits, and over 250 pages linking to Goto China.

However, as sometimes happens, people who are impressed with others work can’t keep their fingers off it. Being inspired by others work is one thing, outright stealing others code and design is something completely different. The first week after it’s release, the Google Analytics-account for Goto China started showing hits from sites who had stolen the source code so they still linked to the original content. Take a look at Lotim Group and you’ll see what I mean. It’s so similar it’s embarrasing, not only does it look almost identical but the code is literarily identical too. They’ve just replaced the images and the text.

Modernista!

They’re right: Modernista! is not for everyone. But they’ve created one of the most creative ‘websites’ I’ve seen in a while, as their ‘site’ is really simply utilizing all kinds of Web 2.0 services and applications in order to display their information and portfolio.

See what you make of it: Modernista!
