Client Projects in 2008
Boxcar Redesigned
Going into 2009

We wanted to send you a quick note to wish you all a Happy New Year. Our team had a very successful year and are looking forward to another great year in 2009. This last year has seen the launch of client projects that we’ve worked hard on all year, and 2009 brings with it some exciting new products that we will be announcing in the next few months!

Recently launched Client Projects

AlphaClone

Planet Argon recently helped launch AlphaClone.com, a premier stock research and portfolio simulation service for individuals and professional investors alike. Planet Argon worked with the AlphaClone team to design and develop the product from ideation all the way through deployment. AlphaClone is hosted using the same technology that powers Rails Boxcar and is being managed by our team of deployment specialists.

Check out AlphaClone at http://alphaclone.com/

Contiki

Planet Argon has been collaborating with Contiki, a worldwide leader in vacations for 18-35 year olds, as the primary Interaction Design and Development team behind their online presence for nearly two years. In 2008, we helped grow their community base beyond the 100k member threshold and it continues to grow as we expand on ways for their customers to connect with each other before and after their travels through tips, photo sharing, and planning reunion trips!

Boxcar Redesigned

In 2008, we began redesigning our deployment and hosting services by turning Rails Boxcar from a simple VPS into a scalable deployment platform. In addition to 3 different Boxcar plans, we are now also offering custom managed hosting packages on dedicated hardware for high-volume sites. These packages leverage the same technology as our Boxcar plans allowing for simple deployments and simple scalability. Combined with our new consulting options, we’re giving our customers access to more ways to grow their sites without the headaches of managing them.

To top it all off, we recently launched a new site for Rails Boxcar, sporting a new look, testimonials, and more detailed plan information.
