This site from the Presidency (not The President design) has us completely befuddled – We honestly cannot determine where this site came from, nor why it is so starkly different to the “adults” Presidency section.
The site is a beautiful semi-3D world where kids get to learn more about the South African Presidency – Yes, the SA Government. I think that’s what struck us so off-sides – it’s totally unexpected! But fantastic at the same time that a government website has such a great, beautifully crafted website. It does remind us of a couple of other 3D worlds we’ve seen, but it’s very well executed. As Wesley notes: “the best is going through the gates & clicking on the president and minister “
We originally found this via RiaanWest. If you know who did the site, please let us know in the comments!
Thanks for the post. I found the site on SA Good News, but they don’t name a dev company:

Thanks Riaan – that’s exactly what we’re trying to solve with our Who Dunnit segment – try to find out who actually produced the work!
The dog/Woofles thing is a little creepy, but quite impressive all round. I think the answer is: Flourescence (http://www.fluorescence.co.za/), according to the press release on the Presidency website (http://www.thepresidency.gov.za/show.asp?type=sp&include=minister/sp/2009/sp03231515.htm&ID=1901)
Marc – that looks on the ball to me. My browser is giving trouble viewing those pages, but I saw a glimmer of “we did that” on the Flourescene site. Well done if it was them!
That site was definitely done by Fluorescence. http://www.fluorescence.co.za
Yes! It has turn out to be really significant for all the web designers to learn to style a internet site that creates an ever-lasting impact on the psyche of kids see http://www.vimeo.com/13998771.
