Viget.com Blogs

Share, Grow, Repeat

Emily Bloom — Thu, 16 May 2013 16:44 GMT

At Viget, we believe in sharing. We share our ideas on our blogs, we share our knowledge at industry events, we share our entrepreneurial experiments via Pointless Corp, and we share our adventures in pictures and videos.

Sharing makes my work easier and more effective. Here are three examples of how sharing comes up in the recruiting work I do:

We've asked the last twenty-five people we've hired how they first heard of Viget. Ten of them referenced something I would categorize as sharing -- a blog post, our code on github, an application we built and made public, etc.

About a quarter of recent applicants have mentioned their affinity for our Pointless Corp endeavors. This reveals that the candidate has done research into Viget and they've uncovered a small, quirky, but important aspect of our company. It's a short-cut to confirming culture fit -- a quick way to know that they care about something that's important to us.
Here's how a recent applicant started his email:

"Last week I attended a talk that Trevor Davis hosted and was impressed by the quality of work he reflected and his knowledge and passion for Front-End JavaScript. I felt immediately drawn to finding out more about his workplace, as it seemed very well aligned with my interests, passions and experience."

Is there a downside to so much sharing? Yes. I think sometimes we paint such a full picture of what it's like work here, that applicants get ahead of themselves and imagine themselves fitting into that picture before we've had a chance to discuss skills, talents, and the actual job responsibilities. It can sometimes make evaluations and rejections that much more stressful and disappointing, I think.

Is it hard to share so much? Not really. It comes naturally to many people here -- they love sharing what they're learning on the job and many of them are gifted writers and speakers. For others, it may take more work, but they believe it's worth the effort. Sharing is inherent to the Viget culture; it's not forced.

Does Viget share everything? No, not with the whole world anyway. There is a lot going on here that only gets shared internally (via basecamp, campfire, and yammer, mostly). And I have conversations all the time with coworkers where I'm surprised to hear some details about what they're doing.

Should applicants share a lot, too? I think so. When candidates are active on github, dribbble, twitter, or their own site it helps us determine if their skills and interests are relevant. When they are, we get excited (and, of course, prepare to get to know them much better). We still look at resumes and cover emails. I will still dig you up on LinkedIn. But when you share what you're learning, making, and experimenting with, we have such a better idea of what it might be like to work with you. And I think by hiring people for whom this comes naturally, we continue to nurture the Viget culture of sharing.

Is this blog post sharing thoughts about sharing? Yes, yes. Very meta.

Want to share with us? We're hiring!

Boulder Project Manager Happy Hour May 14, 2013

Jason Sperling — Mon, 06 May 2013 15:47 GMT

About a month ago Becky put together the Inaugural Boulder Project Management Meetup. Based on the excitement about the event, we’re doing another one! Join us next Tuesday night, May 14th, 6 PM, at Fate Brewing Company for the next Boulder Project Manager Happy Hour.

What might you expect? Besides great beer and company, you’ll enjoy -- and hopefully contribute to -- valuable conversation with your peers as we build a community of project managers in the Boulder area.

One of my favorite topics from our last Meetup was the role project managers play in driving innovation. We all face the challenge of supporting teams who need to grok a client’s business goals, work towards a strategic vision, but stay mindful of time and budgets. We discussed how innovation in our teams’ work, and in our approach to project management, can address (and sometimes complicate) these challenges. The conversation has stuck with me in the last month and informed some of my day-to-day work here at Viget.

On the 14th, we’ll be talking about the format of these events moving forward. Please join us now so your voice is heard. We welcome your input on how this group can best serve the needs and interests of our community!

RSVP here.

Happy 13th Birthday, Viget!

Khanh Stenberg — Wed, 01 May 2013 18:59 GMT

Ever since Viget turned 10 we've celebrated each successful year with an overnight adventure, and this year was no different. We absolutely fell in love with Montfair two years ago and we jumped at the opportunity to return. From a planning standpoint, there's a huge advantage in being familiar with a venue. It lets you focus more time on how to make the event even bigger and better, and that's just what we did.

The Boulder team flew to either the Falls Church or Durham office and spent a few days working from the East Coast. Our project managers, user experience designers, business development team, and developers held team offsites the days leading up to TTT. By Friday, we were ready to have the whole team together.

As everyone arrived at Montfair, we enjoyed a catered, grilled lunch on the deck by Chef Ted and his team.

Once we filled our bellies and soaked up some sun, we settled in for the quarterly progress meeting. Each of our labs shared "core beliefs" and we demoed a very exciting project that we can't quite reveal yet, but let's just say Viget has something very cool in the works.

When the clock struck 5, it was time to party. We started with drinks and appetizers on the deck.

Brave campers pitched their tents before the sun set behind the mountains.

And before we knew it, the lodge was transformed into a cozy dining room.

Dinner was delicious, but slightly overshadowed by silly straws, tattoos, and the photo booth.

We were thrilled to mark the 5 year anniversaries of five of our teammates: David, Brian, Mindy, Owen, and Tom, who all started working at Viget in 2008.

As always, the Vigetry competition was fierce, especially this year since we raised the stakes.

As night fell we gathered around the bonfire, sang songs, and roasted marshmallows.

The morning came quickly and the air was brisk, but quickly warmed up just in time for a hawk show-and-tell from local falconer, Kevin Markey.

It wouldn't be a true camping trip without learning how to live and survive in the wild. So we had The Living Earth School come teach us how to make a fire using a bowdrill, find edible plants in the wild, build a shelter from debris, and shoot a bow-n-arrow at a target.

A huge "thank you" to these guys for letting us celebrate 13 years of Viget.

But more importantly, for creating a company where this, this, and this are the norm.

Boulder Startup Week 2013: How Startups Get To Great Design - May 17th

Jason Sperling — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:22 GMT

In just a couple of weeks, Boulder will host Boulder Startup Week 2013 (#BSW13). The annual 5-day event keeps getting better with more and more participation from local businesses all coming together to celebrate the awesome startup culture of Boulder.

Last year, we showed our support by creating and hosting an event called Startups + Great UX = Great Success. We were joined by folks from around the world for an afternoon of fun and insightful conversation. This year, we're doing it again but changing the focus a bit.

Here are the details...

How Startups Get To Great Design

Startups are all about build, build, build. But we know users love refined design. How do you find time for design when you’re building nonstop? We’ll hear from a panel of talented designers working inside local startups and agencies (Mocavo, Birdbox, Slice of Lime, and Viget) who will share their experiences helping tech startups get to great design. Prior to a moderated Q&A session, four panelists will briefly share their experiences and work.

Last year's event was a huge success and we hope this year is even better. Jackson Fox, Senior UX Designer, will be the event moderator. Among the four panelists will be our own designer, Blair Culbreth. If you're interested in attending the event, please visit the Eventbrite page for more information and to register.

Viget believes strongly in being involved with our local communities and supporting the growth and development of local talent. If you're local to one our offices and have an idea for how we might collaborate, please feel free to reach out to us at info@viget.com. If you're in Boulder (or coming to town for Startup Week), we hope to see you on the 17th at 2pm!

Want to Help Build a Project Manager Community in Boulder, CO?

Becky Tornes — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:17 GMT

Something’s Missing in Boulder

As my fellow Boulder Viget project manager Jason Sperling pointed out last year, Boulder is seriously lacking in project management events and meetups. Boulder is chock full of tech startups, but many are too small to support needing a full-time project manager.

This doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of project managers here. Your title doesn’t need to be project manager for project management to be one of your key responsibilities.

Join us Thursday, April 11th for a Happy Hour

From conversations I’ve had locally, I think there’s a large number of people who would like to tap into a project manager network to discuss tips, tricks, and challenges they face leading projects of all types. As a result, I’ve decided to build on Jason’s idea and form a Boulder Project Manager Meetup, which will kick-off with an April 11th Happy Hour. We will have a topic of the night to help get conversations started, and we will use the happy hour to gauge interest in this group and what other types of events might be useful.

Who should be there?

Project managers and anyone doing project management work in Boulder may benefit from this meetup. RSVP to the happy hour and share it around your network - it’s time we build a community that enhances our work and advances project management overall.

Event Details:

What: Inaugural Boulder Project Management Meetup
When: Thursday, April 11th at 6:00PM
Where: Shine Restaurant and Gathering Place, 2027 13th Street, Boulder, CO
Who: Boulder Project Managers, whether project manager is your title or simply a part of what you do at your company.
Why: To begin developing a project manager community here in Boulder, discuss what other events might be interesting for Boulder project managers and bounce around thoughts on the topic of the night.
Topic of the night: How do you report your project's status to clients/stakeholders (internal stakeholders definitely count too!)?

RSVP Now!

If you are interested, please RSVP on our meetup page or feel free to contact me directly at becky.tornes@viget.com

Volunteering with Friends at Food & Friends

Anjali McKenzie — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 19:27 GMT

One of the many awesome benefits of working at Viget is the two paid community service days we get each year. The challenge is finding the right time and opportunity to use these community service days -- volunteer opportunities that have flexible schedules during the workweek are hard to come by. That’s why when Lance suggested that we get a small Viget group together to volunteer, I excitedly joined in on the opportunity.

We chose to volunteer with Food & Friends in northeast DC. Food & Friends prepares and delivers specialized fresh and frozen meals and groceries to men, women, and children living with HIV/AIDs, cancer, and other life-challenging illnesses in the metro DC area.

Food & Friends works with professional nutritionists, chefs, and a slew of volunteers to prepare, portion, pack, and deliver an average of 3,500 meals a day! It’s no question that Food & Friends relies heavily on volunteer support, so this was a great organization for our group of seven to help out.

We grabbed lunch together and arrived well-fed and ready to volunteer. After a brief introduction, we put on our hair nets and got right into the mix of things. We headed back to the kitchen where we packed frozen meals, portioned out food into containers, and labeled and bagged groceries. Before we knew it, it was time to leave.

Volunteering as a small group was a welcomed change of atmosphere and an excellent bonding and team-building activity. We quickly found ourselves trying to improve our efficiency and reduce errors on each task. Breaking up into two teams for some activities also created a fun challenge. At Viget, we’re planning to form more small groups and make volunteering at Food & Friends a recurring event. Maybe next time we’ll get a chance to show off our julienning skills!

If you’re interested in volunteering at Food & Friends, you can email volunteer@foodandfriends.org or call (202) 269-2277. They are always looking for people to help prepare and deliver meals.

PowWow: A Tool for Scheduling User Research

Laura Sweltz — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:53 GMT

Research is an important part of our process here at Viget. It helps us better understand our users and make informed design decisions. Spending time talking to real people through user interviews or other research activities is one of my favorite things about being a UX Designer. Scheduling appointments with those participants, however, is not.

Trying to schedule individual appointments with a potentially large group of potential participants can be a real pain. Although there are plenty of tools out there that can assist with scheduling, there wasn’t one that really fit our research process here at Viget. We needed a tool that allowed us to pick the times that worked for our schedules and send them to potential participants, in a format that also provided adequate context for those participants.

We set out to fill this gap by creating our own user research scheduling tool which we affectionately named PowWow and launched through our Pointless Corp. program.

See how it works:

We built this tool for ourselves but we wanted to share it with the community as well. If you feel like it meets your needs, give it try. If you have feedback you’d like to share with us, you can reach us at hi@powwowapp.net.

TTT: Winter Sports Edition

Khanh Stenberg — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:29 GMT

We wrapped up the holidays just in time for the New Year. January came and went, but not before Brian and Andy met with each office individually for our 4th Quarter Recap and Progress meetings. We discussed things like our ideal clients, how best to spend our down time, and the company's growth.

This year we fully embraced the winter season and planned 3 separate winter-themed events.

Falls Church and Durham channeled their inner Michelle Kwan and showed off their best moves on the ice. We had different levels of skating ability ranging from childhood figure skaters to never been ice skating, so we warmed up with an obstacle course that included skating between cones, skating backwards, and hula hooping while on ice skates. For the most part it was a hot mess, but got everyone comfortable being in ice skates and with falling.

Once the ice was scuffed up, we formed teams for a few games of broomball, which is basically ice hockey but in sneakers. We scored, we cheered, but mostly we fell ... hard.

Boulder has had some pretty low-key events as of late, so we decided to up the adrenaline and go snowmobling with Good Times Adventures. We rode up to the Continental Divide, which is over 11,000 feet in elevation, and watched the sun set behind the mountains.

Watch out! We're fiercely attacking 2013!

Holiday Happenings at Viget

Khanh Stenberg — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 19:08 GMT

Before taking some time off and visiting our family and friends for the holidays, we've spent a lot of time with our Viget family giving back, preparing for the holidays, and celebrating a wonderful year over food, drinks, and gifts.

We kicked off the season of giving by replacing our normal Free Lunch Friday with potlucks at each of our offices. In Falls Church, the spread included crawfish pasta, vegetarian Indian chole, buffalo chicken dip, roasted squash, and a bounty of desserts. Durham's lunch was equally impressive, featuring chicken pot pie, David's grandma's potato soup, and homemade peanut butter pie. At 10am Mountain Time, Boulder isn't quite ready for lunch, so for Free Brunch Friday potluck they enjoyed homemade cinnamon buns, hash brown casserole, and made-to-order pancakes, french toast, and eggs.

Potlucks have become an office favorite, not just because we get to feast on grandma's recipes and homemade desserts, but because Viget allows us to donate the money we would have spent on our normal FLF/FBF to charities. This time we gave back to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Urban Ministries of Durham, and Community Cycles.

All the Vigekids and Vigebabies recently visited us at Halloween -- but we can always find another excuse to see those munchkins! So, for the first time in Viget history, we invited Santa to the office. This Santa (who is only a representative of Santa and not the real Santa) also happens to be Samantha's father and the McLean Fire Department Santa Claus. Everyone enjoyed having a visit from jolly ol' Saint Nick!

But why leave all the gift-giving fun to Santa Claus? Another holiday first for Viget: swapping gifts in some delightful way, shape, or form. In Durham and Falls Church, we held gift swaps (also fondly known as the Yankee Swap, the Dirty Santa, or the White Elephant exchange). Each gift had to be under $15 and we took turns stealing or opening the gifts. The most coveted and stolen gifts were an electric guitar shirt and a CuddleUppet. Boulder took a different approach to the swapping concept by indulging in a Six Pack Santa (no, not this). In true Boulder form, each Viget brought in a six pack of their favorite brew and, after 6 rounds of enthusiastic swapping, left with a new 6-pack assortment.

Finally, we wrapped up our holiday season (pun intended) with our annual holiday parties at a variety of festive venues: The Greenbriar Inn, Gregoria's Kitchen, and SpaceBar. As always, each party crew celebrated in its own, unique way. But, regardless of location, this much was certain: delicious food was devoured, extraordinary company was delighted in, and, overall, much merriment was had by one and all!

We hope you've had just as happy a holiday seaons. And, here's to a killer 2013 all around!

2012: The Year in Launches

Tom Osborne — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:00 GMT

Since 1999, Viget has been working hard to help improve the web. One of the things that has always impressed me about Viget is our ability to get things launched. This year, we released over 30 new or refurbished online experiences. Some large. Some small. Some Pointless. We even launched a new Viget.com this year, four years since the last major update. In 2012 we found ourselves designing responsively more than we ever have to account for the growing abundance of smart phones, tablets, and other web enabled devices. Take a look at the many launches we had a hand in making happen this year:

The Big Ones

While every launch is important to us, a few stood out.

PUMA

PUMA continued to let us flex our creative muscles and show how innovative a big brand can be.

Startups

We worked with many innovative and growing startups, as we've done since the early days of Viget.

Higher Education

We remain plugged into the higher ed community. Here are some of our latest.

Corporate

Some of our friends in the corporate world asked us to redesign their online presences.

Non-profits

We helped our friends in the non-profit community, too.

Homegrown Viget Projects

Yep. We're still making stuff just because we want to.

Front-End Developments: A Year in Review

Jason Garber — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 14:16 GMT

We've had a tremendous year here at Viget. We launched some amazing projects for our clients, attended and spoke at a variety of events, and even redesigned our own company web site. Across the board, every team here at Viget rocked it.

I want to take a moment and look back at the FED team's accomplishments in the last twelve months. This year we really pushed our work forward in ways we wouldn't have imagined a year ago.

Responsive Design

We launched a number of responsively-designed projects this year, but I'd like to highlight two: Time Life and World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

Jeremy Fields led the FED efforts on Time Life and put a tremendous amount of thought and care into building a responsive web site that is fast, fast, fast. He developed jRespond as a means to manage the JavaScript for the site. As the functionality on the site varies depending on available screen width (think: a mobile phone versus a desktop browser), Jeremy needed a solution that could execute functions conditionally. A home-grown solution was the best option and jRespond is top-notch. On top of all of that, Jeremy put together one of my all-time favorite 404 pages.

On the non-profit side of things, Trevor worked with World Wildlife Fund to develop their awesome new responsive web site. To maintain consistency across the site, Trevor developed a nested, responsive grid using Sass and Compass. Trevor also worked closely with Elliott and Kevin to design and build a large-scale, component-based system that allows WWF, using their new CMS, to build fully-responsive, elegant, and content-rich pages. The end result is a web site that works across all devices and that will provide lasting value to World Wildlife Fund for years to come.

Interactive Design

Tommy and Blake worked together to implement some delightful interactions for Duke's Undergraduate Admissions web site. The smooth animations and transitions work hand-in-hand with the eye-popping visuals carefully crafted by Jason and Mark. Of particular note is the behavior of the header and footer navigation as the page scrolls. You really have to see it for yourself!

Dan, plain and simple, blew us out of the water with his work on Run, PUMA, Run. The game, powered entirely by JavaScript and built using <canvas>, is stunning. Dan made use of a number of cutting-edge web technologies: <canvas>, HTML5 audio, and time-based animation with requestAnimationFrame to name a few. Run, PUMA, Run is unlike anything we've done before at Viget and Dan took up the challenge without pause. The game runs completely in a web browser without the need for plugins and is a joy to play.

ExpressionEngine

ExpressionEngine continues to play a big role in the FED team's work. 2012 saw the release of our first commercially-available EE add-ons: Single Entry, VL File Generator, and VL Category Groups. Each of these add-ons was built to solve a problem we encountered on a project and released commercially in the hopes that other developers will find them as useful as we do.

Trevor presented at the DCEERS Day Conference here in the nation's capital, presenting on advanced templating techniques using Stash and custom plug-ins. The conference, and Trevor's talk in particular, was well-received by those in attendance and we're looking forward to the next DCEERS!

But wait, there's more!

In addition to all of the above, the FED team still found time to speak at local events. Trevor spoke about Sass and Compass at July's Refresh DC meeting. Nate and Jeremy Frank led sessions on JavaScript and HTML/CSS respectively at Teen Tech Camp in Durham. Dan also presented a portion of his work on Run, PUMA, Run at FED Sacrifice last month.

In October, I joined the ranks of published Vigeteers when Apress released Foundation HTML5 with CSS3. I was asked by Craig Cook to contribute a couple of chapters to this entry-level resource for web developers. Having written nothing longer than blog posts since college, I found the task daunting, but it was an honor to work with Craig and the folks at Apress. I'm immensely proud of the final results.

Also in October, Doug organized and led our first team offsite. The entire FED team gathered in Richmond for a day of reflection and discussion. This offsite was our first opportunity to gather as a team and talk about where we came from, where we are, and where we're going.

Finally, in the past year, we began assembling a Device Lab for testing our work across a variety of phones, tablets, and other web-connected products. It will forever be a work in progress as the device landscape changes on a daily basis, but I'm confident that with a robust Device Lab we can continue to deliver top-quality, device-agnostic work for our clients.

We may be bidding adieu to 2012, but, for the Viget FED team (and all of Viget, to be honest!), 2013 is shaping up to be a fantastic year. Happy Holidays, thanks for reading, and we'll see you in the New Year!

Holiday Traditions and Homemade Hot Sauce

Brian W. Williams — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:01 GMT

We spend all year at Viget working on digital projects, and we love what we do. We’ve spent more than a decade learning how to do it well. We’ve hired some of the best talent, specialists who have spent their professional lives perfecting their craft. The industry is always growing and changing, always introducing new challenges to work through. It’s a great gig, and I wouldn’t trade my job or this company for anything. I plan to do it for at least another decade or two.

Every once in awhile, though, I have to wonder: could this group of awesome people I get to work with ever do something else? Could we turn the company on a dime and overnight become craftsmen/craftswomen of a different sort? Could we do something decidedly non-digital, something entirely outside of our area of expertise, and be proud of the results? Every year, we find out.

The rules of the Viget Holiday Gift Project are simple.

Make something physical by hand that we can send to a few hundred of our family and friends.
Somehow incorporate the two orange and blue circles from the Viget logo into the product itself (not just the packaging).
Make sure that everyone at Viget can help with the design or production of the gift while still juggling our busy schedule of client work.
Keep the per-unit cost to $3 or less, including shipping.

It’s not just a fun group project, it’s a forced mid-career crisis. Whether it’s lip balm (2003), lollipops (2009), or hot cocoa (2011), we try something totally new that none of us has ever done before. This year, we answered some interesting questions, such as:

Can we make a condiment from scratch that’s actually ~~good~~ edible?

Can we design memorable packaging for a product that indeed incorporates the Viget logo?

Can we figure out a complex production line with multiple assembly pieces?

Can we make precise measurements to ensure the per-unit cost would be on budget?

Can we implement a quality control process that works?

Can we adjust mid-project when we hit roadblocks and still stay on schedule?

Can we do it all with a bunch of other amateurs, coordinated across three offices, all of us figuring it out for the first time together?

Can we feel the stress of it all but still enjoy it, still be proud of the results, and still love our co-workers even more after it’s all done?

The answer to all of these questions is: yes, we can. Today, the first batches of Vigesauce will arrive. Provided the packaging doesn’t frighten too much, a few drops of Vigesauce will end up on burritos, french fries, and whatever else people choose to put it on.

Once again, we (mostly) enjoyed making this year’s holiday gift. Once again, we’re reminded that we love our chosen careers so we’ll be sticking to digital projects -- for at least another year.

Happy holidays from all of us at Viget!

Launch Videos and the New WWF

Zach Robbins — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 20:10 GMT

In 2011, according to a Cisco report (PDF), online videos accounted for 51% of all Internet traffic -- a number that continues to increase. Video content is now common not only on e-commerce sites, where studies show that product videos increase trust and conversions, but also on informational sites where quality video content can be a more efficient and memorable way to engage, inform, and influence an audience.

Increasingly, in our industry of building digital products, a launch video can be a valuable way to drive awareness and excitement about a site launch and to quickly summarize all of the features and content available on a new site.

With that in mind, we have produced a ~60 second launch video for a recent project we're very proud of, the redesign of the World Wildlife Fund’s site.

As always, we welcome your feedback.

TTT: Racing Through Q3

Khanh Stenberg — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 18:15 GMT

Once again, we somehow managed to get nearly all the Vigets in one place. Our Boulder team (except for Jason Sperling whose wife was having a baby!) flew back east last week and we all met in Richmond on Thursday for a longstanding Viget tradition, TTT. G-Force Karts graciously hosted us for a full day of work and play.

Our quarterly meeting was structured slightly differently this time around and consisted of team building, presentation sharing, and ~~fist pumping~~ metric discussing.

Kevin Vigneault led the team in a fun exercise where teams of four built catapults out of random items such as a manila folder, spoons, cups, rubber bands, pencils, popsicle sticks, and pipe cleaners. Each team had two opportunities to fling the foam ball the furthest.

The winning team and their slingshot design.

The rest of the meeting was filled with info that I can't necessarily share here. Sorry, we can't give away all our secrets!

Although the recap is always interesting, by mid-afternoon we were ready to hit the track. Pictures of karting just don't do justice to our need for speed so check out this video filmed and produced by Zach:

Since I'm the team mom around here, last week felt a little like the holidays, with all the kids coming home to celebrate. But, with this week over, it's time to get ready for the real holidays and get the elves busy working on the next Viget Holiday Project. Stay tuned!

Vendors we worked with for this event and highly recommend:

G-Force Karts
