RYZ believes in Substance

RYZ is a new footwear company that is combining new manufacturing technologies, democratic design practices and online social networking and community. Ryzwear.com provides the opportunity for anyone to be a shoe designer. Yes, even you! We were fortunate enough to be part of the team that built the site.

Working with Swift Collective, the Substance team built the site on the open source Communit.as platform. The platform handles all the community aspects: account management, commenting, forums, rating system and the blog. The e-commerce system is being implemented as I type this…

Congratulations goes out to the RYZ team and Swift. And big thanks go out to our internal team of Todd, Cory, Jaybill and Rich. They built a solid site while working with multiple vendors, and making it all look effortless. You guys make us spoiled, in a good way.

Scott, you’re more than welcome to come by anytime for some Halo 3.
