We share a lot of things in our daily lives — whether through social networks, email or IM. Sharing is natural. The problem arises when we share sensitive information with others.

We easily send emails with usernames, passwords or other important information to our friends, co-workers and clients without thinking. Its simple and quick to do and we tend to trust those we share this information with.

However, there are always digital traces left behind that we never think about. You just emailed your wife the pin number to your ATM account. Was the emailed deleted or is it still in her inbox? Or how about the username and password to a new site you’ve just built for a client that was sent to them. Do they still have it sitting in their inbox?

This is how the site was born. Provide the ability to send private information to someone else and know that once they’ve read it, its deleted.

The Roots

The Roots are legendary. The band, formed in 1987 by Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter and Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson in Philadelphia have a career that spans longer than the lives of most of their fan base. They’ve worked with artists throughout their career including John Legend, Roy Ayers, Jennifer Hudson, Chrisette Michele, Common, Mos Def, Saigon, Styles P, Talib Kweli, Wale, Dice Raw, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Peedi Crakk and many others.

With the release of their 13th studio album, “Undun,” via Def Jam Records on December 6, 2011, Cando was tapped by the okayplayer team to build out and scale their existing site.

Within a short period of time, Cando’s team burned through a few nights and the weekend to deliver. What is now accessible at theroots.com is a platform in which they can continue to provide their fans with more exclusive content, videos and the latest/greatest news on the band.

One of our clients just put together a massive relaunch of their cornerstone product — a diet and health program called 80 Bites. Cando was fortunate enough to participate in the development of their Android application as well as the rebuild of a new site focused around the app and their program.

As part of major relaunch of the Diamond Media group of companies, Cando was tasked with creating and launching three main sites which reflect the pinnacle of the independent music industry.

Digital Music Distribution Network

iHipHop was on the forefront of Hip Hop social networks and as part of the Triumph Media group, a digital distribution site was born. Built with the understanding and the notion that independent artists should and can be in control of their music and their revenue, the distribution site was developed. Utilizing a custom, self-service, distribution and commerce system, this project allows any artist or musician to easily get their music onto Apple iTunes, Amazon, and all major digital distribution stores both in the US and internationally.

Long time digital collaboration partner, Decon, asked us to participate in the relaunch of their new site. We were more than happy to pitch in and deliver some really slick transitions and effects for the new site. Incorporating the feel of fluid movements, hidden treasures (hint: look for the wooden box), heavy optimization for mobile and desktop, the relaunched site embodies a new level for Decon and we were happy to assist.

Decon is a New York based idea shop responsible for developing influential and creative campaigns for Fortune 500 brands and boutique talent alike. Between our agency, record label, and video production arms, we are leaders in developing relevant cultural currency that not only starts chatter, but brings about change.

The new year brought changes and a new direction for one of the most respected brands in music, OkayPlayer. As part of their new initiatives, Cando was tapped to provide the migration from Joomla to the WordPress platform, optimization and a new look for the site. The new site provides them with a platform to further extend their brand and as part of Cando’s ongoing commitment to the OKP legacy, expect more developments launching soon with them.

The Year of the Blacksmith

centdev — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 03:19:56 +0000

Talib Kweli is one of the most respected artists to have ever touched a microphone. So it was important for the relaunch of his site to continue to provide a voice and platform for his fans. We worked with Kweli and Blacksmith to design and develop the new YOTB site using the ever popular WordPress as the base platform. This provides a stable foundation for future growth of the site.
