Shout out to The Nightingale Company, a film, TV and interactive production company which just relaunched its website with Big Medium 2.

With its clean, elegant look, the site is a nice example of how well Big Medium adapts to designers’ needs, dodging pat, cookie-cotter designs. “All and all, this CMS has proven to be great and adaptable to the designer’s vision, making my life easier,” designer Scott Jordison told me.

With a little help from the support forum, Scott even crafted his own plugin to make it easy for the site’s editors to integrate Google Video into the site. And hey, it wasn’t too hard: He did it without any Perl coding know-how. “I feel that I have accomplished a great feat thanks to your software and help,” Scott said.

Great to hear it, Scott. Congrats to you and The Nightingale Company on the successful relaunch.
