Firefighter's National Trust (formerly FireDonations.com Inc.)
Bright Spectrum created the first version of the FireDonations.com web site for this Tacoma-based charity. We developed the entire front and back end of the site's online donation platform and built a new FireDonations database to store charity and donor information. The site allowed users to make donations, view donation history, sign up new charities and search for existing charities.

Bright Spectrum also designed and developed a web-based content management system that allowed the site administrators to fully manage charities and view various donation reports.

After the events on September 11, 2001, FireDonations.com accumulated over $7 million in donations through this web site for the firefighters of New York City. At the time, FireDonations.com was the only fire-related donation web site capable of accepting online credit card donations and was promoted nationally through many organizations and venues, including Yahoo!, NBC TV, CBS News, Forbes.com, Amazon.com and many others. Although they redesigned their web site in 2002, and modified the types of donations they accept, Bright Spectrum was instrumental in making Firefighter’s National Trust one of today’s leaders in online donation collection for fire-related causes.

Luly Yang Couture - (www.lulyyang.com)
Luly Yang is one Seattle's premier wedding dress designers. The design of the Luly Design web site required strict attention to detail and the result is a testament to that. The goal was to accurately portrait Luly's exquisite design in the same classy atmosphere that you would find in her Seattle showroom. To accomplish this, Bright Spectrum utilized Flash, in a very subtle way, to build three Flash movies, including the intro, a bridal fashion show and an evening gown show. The result gives users the feeling that they could actually 'touch' Luly's creations. Browsable samples of Luly's work are also provided.

Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) - (www.nrdc.org/air/energy/china/default.asp)
Located in New York, NY, the NRDC is our nation's most successful environmental action organization and consists of over 1 million members worldwide. Bright Spectrum created the NRDC's China Clean Energy Project portal for the main NRDC site. This new portal was included as a part of the redesign of the entire NRDC web site. Bright Spectrum needed to work within the style and identity guidelines of the NRDC and we were able to come up with a design that was seamlessly incorporated into their newly redesigned site.
