Project brief:

My Friend Knows approached Stacked Creations as a newly established social networking service designed to help facilitate knowledge sharing between people with common interests. With the functionality of the site already developed My Friend Knows required a visually appealing and user friendly interface that would help ensure the best user experience was achieved.


As with any large scale application, the layout and design of My Friend Knows is an ongoing iterative process, a strong relationship has been developed between My Friend Knows and Stacked with the common goal of pushing and evolving the application to be as effective as possible.


Unique Aspects of Project:

  • Implementation: My Friend Knows was developed entirely using the powerful web framework Ruby on Rails. The existing in-house development skills of MFK delivered the inner workings and functionality of the site. Working closely with MFK, Stacked integrated the front end design on top of the existing backend functionality.
  • CSS3 (Cascading Style Sheets): Working with the most up-to-date web technologies CSS3 was an integral part of the front end development.

Project Outcomes:

  • Custom website design - www.myfriendknows.com
  • Front end development and implementation with existing backend
  • Logo development and corporate identity
  • Information graphic for home page
  • Ongoing design iterations as site grows

It has been great working with Stacked Creations. They worked within our existing Ruby on Rails code-base and delivered an amazing new design and interface for our application. They have been highly mindful of time (and associated budget) in each area of the design, and they are far more responsive than any design firm we have hired in the past.
