How could we help people become better, more confident cooks?

Rouxbe

Rouxbe is the world's leading online cooking school. Rouxbe offers instructor-guided certification cooking courses for cooks of all levels using intuitive learning technology.

When we started working with Rouxbe, it was not much more than an idea within a PowerPoint document. We helped define the business strategy, pricing model, and brand for this online offering. We designed the website from the ground up. We also architected, designed and implemented a proprietary Recipe Player to play step-by-step videos. The website has been awarded the coveted Adobe Site of the Day award. Rouxbe continues to win high praise for it’s ease-of-use, deep focus on the cooking experience and clean design including from top-websites such as Lifehacker. IBM Creative Director, and User Experience expert, Cristene Gonzalez-Wertz, uses Rouxbe as an example of design elegance in her examples of online success. She is quoted as calling Rouxbe “Fabulously smart, elegant”.
