What we do
Glopilot is a Seattle-based web research & design team specializing in strategically informed, Flash animated web design and development.
1: Research and Strategy
During the research and strategy phase, we perform desk-based market research tailored to your audience and objectives; we synthesize existing research that’s relevant to your market; and we deliver focused strategies for translating your business vision into compelling web navigation, function and media design.
2: Design & Development
During the design and development phase, we program the functional framework of your site and create your media tools—tools like educational/training sequences, product/service demos, video/music players and other interactive web experiences. Finally, we skin the site with the most appealing aesthetic style designed expressly for your audience and objectives.

The American College of Sports Medicine’s new project aims to shed light on the health levels of the cities across the nation and offers direction on how to improve them. The site includes a Flash home page displaying each city’s ranking on an interactive map, news blog and extensive project documentation. As part of the project’s unveiling at their yearly conference we created a widescreen HDTV animation with music to go along with their presentation.
"The level of professional integrity, creativity, and flexibility GLOPiLOT brought to the ACSM American Fitness Index website and flash video for our program launch was phenomenal. They are completely "above and beyond" professionals and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish."
