Greenpartners is a co-ooperative producers’ association of 73 vegetable growers and was in need for a new website so Murten Saerbi jumped up and made one for them! A really nice one, even if we say so ourselves. Don’t take our word for it: go check it out yourself over at greenpartners.be

After the highly successful absolut band website the sexiest agency of Belgium (or atleast the hottest cowboys of Antwerp) asked Murten Saerbi once again to work with them on a new project: Samsung’s bepaal het verhaal (dutch)!
The idea is simple: read the picture story on the website and fill in an sms on the Samsung StarTxT that could fit at the end. If your entry gets picked out at the end of each vote week you get yourself one of those awesome new Samsung phones! Oh, what would Charlotte send Thomas? You decide!
Check it out here (flashwork done by Murten Saerbi).

A local company that specializes in public works, both industrial and residential projects, driveways and swimming pools was on the lookout for a website that would represent their solid work and healthy growth on the internet.
A slick and easy-to-use navigation together with a modern design is exactly what Houwelyckx wegenbouw needed and goes nicely together with the new offices and the 10.000m² functional workplace.

You can check the website out over at www.houwelyckx.be/.

Grande Home is all about light-switching-technology: They sell touchscreen switches with a nice design for a very affordable price.
Since they promote themselves at just about every workshop or renovation, building or decoration event we at Murten Saerbi had to deliver them something good looking to instantly show the people just how cool their switches are. Therefore we went for a 3D demo house that runs on flatscreens pc’s on the event itself.
If there is a mouse present users can click the switches below to turn the lights in the house on or off. If there isn’t a mouse present or a user leaves the screen be for 10 seconds or more the application turns into a presentation and switches the lights on and off. This subtle movement automatically attracts the people to come and take a look at this small but cool application and the switches in general. Don’t take my word for it, check it out for yourself.

The app also runs online as a testcase, you can check it out here.

Together with the funkiest cowboys in Belgium (or perhaps even the world) Murten Saerbi made it possible for Tim vanhamel to search a band.
If you are a musician and are freaky/deaky enough to play with Tim vanhamel just start recording yourself and apply on the absolut band website. You can apply for drums, guitar and bass but don’t let that stop you from selecting “other” and submitting your very own flute youtube movie.

I suggest you check it out over at http://www.theabsolutband.be.

Withaview.be is a website that holds a list of the best restaurants in Antwerp which you can order on budget or style. You can also search the most popular ones or just sort alphabetically. Doesn’t sound super-high-technical, you say?
Well, it doesn’t even have to be!
If you don’t fancy the slick and polished design of the website you surely must be a fan of the restaurant pages.
Every restaurant has its own page with an introduction movie and basic information such as contact details, opening hours and place to be. And that’s where I came in: the movie is easy embeddable on your own blog and/or website by using the build-in “add to website” or “share” functions. You can also easily share it with your friends by mail or msn. Therefore it is THE website if you’re looking for a nice place to eat in Antwerp (soon to come: other cities aswell). At the end of each movie related restaurants pop-up so you can easily check out some other introduction movies.
Another thing that’s on its way and pretty fancy – even if I say so myself – is the facebook integration. People will be able to add a restaurant movie to their facebook profile to promote the restaurants they like best!
A nice restaurant to have some breakfast the old-fashioned way is Farine’s Food over at the Vlaamse Kaai 40 in Antwerp, Belgium. Check out the player below or pay the withaview website an online visit over at withaview.be.
