Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol & Sonoma

We’re very excited to have worked with Hopmonk on a few, smaller graphical (marketing) and web development projects (a little Events script) in the past as we adore the taverns and venue. The proprietor, Dean, is a cool, smart, down-to-earth guy and a real joy to have as a client.  We’ve just recently signed a contract to redesign their entire web presence as well as streamline their ticketing system in house and on the web.  Look for this in the coming months!

Rocknsocks.com: Retail & Wholesale Online Catalog

We’re happy to announce that we’ve recently launched a new full-service e-commerce website for our friends at RockNSocks.
