• Cognition Discovery

  

  A showcase for Cognition Inc.'s technology for the legal eDiscovery market, Cognition Discovery features a smooth AJAX front end, with complex data displayed in four "windows" that can be individually maximized. The middleware is built on Django, with a custom back end to interface with Cognition's search technology.

• Love Potion Perfume

  

  Love Potion Perfume follows an ambitious schedule of rolling out new collection of specialty perfumes every month. This means that they need to spend more time focusing on their art, and less on updating their web site. This Django-based site allows them to do exactly that.
