NAMTRAmedia launches BangShift.com

When former Hot Rod Magazine Editor-in-Cheif, David Freiburger, approached us about a project he wanted our help with...who were we to say no? 

The orignal concept for the site was CarJunkieTV.com, where David and wildman Chad Reynolds hosted a web-based video show chronicaling the underground world of domestic performance car life.  The CarJunkieTV.com guys were hosed by multiple design and development "experts" and were a bit scorned by the time they got to us. Over the course of the next few months, we developed a the CarJunkieTV brand and a really robust (and complex) content manager allowing them to post videos, written blog content, galleries and advertisers on the fly with out the aid of any geeks (that would be us).  The final result? We delivered the project on time and on budget...but the economy grenaded and they lost their financing.  Like an awesome pilot show that never made it.  :(

Well, David being David, he regrouped and developed a new site FreiburgersJunkyard.com, with massive amounts of clever content, categoriezed blogs, a social network, user forums, and galleries and was able to secure advertisers. The branding and website CMS was of course created by NAMTRA. At the time of this post, David has returned to the helm of Hot Rod Magazine and flipped the keys to the site to Brian Lohnes and Chad Reynolds which we've rebranded BangShift.com - check it out!
