Tapulous
Launched 2008 / View Site
While we were at SXSW last year we got a call from our pal Bart Decrem asking for help building a site for his new company. In a crowded Austin hotel room we met the newly formed team and Tapulous, the makers of the hit application Tap Tap Revenge, was born. Read more about the project…

What they needed
We started working on the Tapulous site well before the launch of Apple’s App Store. The requirements were shifting daily since the company was still so young. One thing was for sure, the needed the site to appeal to the iPhone user base and serve as way to get the word out about their products. They already had a designer, Louie Mantia, working on the look and feel of the site so it was up to us to bring their vision to life.
What we did
One of our top priorities was to provide a blogging platform that would allow Tapulous to talk directly to the iPhone community—so we elected to build the entire site with WordPress. The goal was to setup the site to allow Tapulous to easily add pages as they released new applications. They would also have the flexibility to showcase recent news, contests, and announcements from any page of the site. Once we had design sign off, it only took us about two (rushed) weeks to build out the entire site.
The result
Since the release of Tap Tap Revenge, the application has been one of the most successful and highly reviewed games in the App Store. Tapulous has also released other great apps including Twinkle, Collage, Fortune Cookie, and have even partnered with the bands Nine Inch Nails and Weezer to deliver customized versions of TTR. The future is very bright for the folks at Tapulous and we’re proud to have been involved!
