Barrett Newton Interactive is a small interactive production and design studio, with an amazing portfolio.
I just launched a new Expression Engine extension; BN Title Changer. For those of you interested in Expression Engine extensions, click here to read more about it.
We’re now offering 24/7 site monitoring for any of our customers. If you’d like us to monitor your site every 15 minutes to make sure that it, and its database is up, please (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) We monitor your site every 15 minutes, and send you an email if we find that it’s not online. A great service for anyone that really needs to maintain their site’s uptime.
We became members of ExpressionEngine’s Pro Network about one month ago. Over the last few years we’ve become very proficient with building sites with ExpressionEngine, so I’m glad we can now be considered “pros” by the EE community. For those not in the know, EE is a rich content management system. We run this site on it, and have been slowly figuring out how to use it as an application development platform. Our bug tracker, time tracker, estimation tools are all currently running on EE, they work great, and have been much more flexible & quicker to develop than a standard web app. It’s a great platform.
Our friend Debbie Lavdas asked us to develop her cool site for moms featuring peeps & places in the OC (our hometown/county, whatever.) PeaceLoveAndMomminess.com. is a nice little magazine site for moms & ladies with mom-type interests, featuring some excellent copy from a talented copywriter (Debbie), a great collaboration from a number of designers, and of course our fabulous production.
PLM was built using our favorite CMS system and features an integrated shopping cart, and a cool little “flair” button system. Now that it’s all put together Debbie really enjoys it, enjoys using the admin system. I’m really happy that we could offer her so much of what she wanted without having to sacrifice based on limitations of the system. Check it out!

We’re part-pixel, part-art and all kick-ass. We play in the world of code, as well as live in the land of design to fill a unique niche between development and creative that few can imitate. Don’t be fooled by our boutique size, we work with some of the biggest brands out there, we just like to keep a low profile.
You’ll find we don’t talk tech, but speak the language of our clients to help them determine what they need, not just what they say they want. And, speaking of clients, ours consistently say we “get it.” They like our no-BS approach to business and down-to-earth practicality. (Maybe that’s because we never oversize a job or budget, but simply produce the best technology that fits the now and long term.)
A few things we shamelessly do better than most anybody else: dynamic & data driven microsites, flash games, advergaming and rich-media banners. Add to that web application development and standards-based web site production & development and you’ll start to see our talents. Or you can just see our portfolio now.
Got a project you’d like to (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) Bring it. Big or small, long-range or short-term, code or design. We’re there.
Chris Newton
Managing Partner (the tall one)
Newton is sometimes seen as the chatty mouthpiece for BNI, well-versed in user-interface design, animation, database & application development. He’s creative but pragmatic in his approach, always concerned with delivering the best on time. Read more about him, here…
Chris Barrett
Managing Partner (the surly one)
Barrett typically creates the backbone of our technology, and is instrumental in every animation & development task we complete. His machinelike attention to detail, mind-bending persistence, and creativity allow us to create some ridiculously cool games & apps. He’s often noted for his acerbic wit and excellent sense of irony… character details that make him ideally suited for a life of endless problem solving.
Cat McMillan
Designer
Cat designs AND manages projects, both with zeal & efficiency. Her abilities are only surpassed by her enthusiasm, and she has a pretty great singing voice too. Until recently she sang in a band, but left to pursue her lifelong dream of working with two shiftless layabouts.
