ww2.digitalassets.net
This is a custom form processing site also known as a "forms portal".
You will be redirected to the main site if you click the link.
Underneath the redirect, the core of the website generates forms, then processes, and analyses the submitted form data.
Next it generates a username and password, and finally sends the results to another site for further storage and processing.
The other site, emails the user a username and password which they use to download content from this site.
It is set up in a modular fashion, so that new forms, and campaigns can be added with minimal effort.
www.moto-lab.com
The moto-lab site has several backend utilities that are unique.
The inventory section is parsed out from a CSV file exported from excel, and custom code is used for the detailed browsing and searching functions.
The gallery is a custom image management tool fully operated and maintained by the client. Several customizations were made after launch to facilitate moto-lab's exact needs.
Normally with a site that uses an Iframe, if you were to link directly to a page beneath the main frame, all you would see would be the iframe content.
Custom code was written to determine if you have the encompassing page loaded, and if not, to fetch it and redirect the iframe to the appropriate place.
To see it work, close you browser, or flush your cookies, then connect to
www.moto-lab.com/gallery for instance.
www.nigritude-ultramarine.tv
This site was built for a search engine optimisation competition (SEO), and uses some coding tricks to cheat for a higher ranking.

Also on each page, junk email addresses are generated to confuse and disrupt email harvesting web bots.
The content is purely fictional.
