I am happy to announce yesterday we successfully launched the website for Ben Wright’s Broadway Project. As a former Broadway star, Ben Wright sought out our services to create an online presence for the Broadway Project—a national talent search inviting individuals to audition for an opportunity to perform in a NYC Showcase for Broadway industry professionals. After initial consultation, planning and logo development, we moved forward with the site build within a content management system. While developing the site, the Wright family did an amazing job of social media marketing by creating and updating a Facebook Fan page and spreading the word. After a short month, they already have over 2,000 fans! Not only does this site allow for individuals to participate in auditioning, it also allows for participation in online coaching. Complete with a unique look and layout for each page, the client is pleased with the end result and is looking forward to building the buzz and watching the Ben Wright’s Broadway Project grow!

Long time client Coast Host has recently undergone a website face lift! Over the years we have done small edits to their site while also managing their SEO and PPC. While we have done a great job driving the qualified traffic to the website, Coast Host discussed with us ways to decrease their bounce rate and increase the length of time spent on the website. After reviewing the monthly reports and having a brief consultation, we decided it would be advantageous to redesign the home page to be more visually exciting and updated.

You can view the before and after shots below.

You can see we have incorporated rich graphics, a more modern color palette and callouts to drive viewers to specific pages of the website. Coast Host is active in the social media marketing and email marketing, so we wanted to enhance this. The new design includes a Facebook callout, as well as email sign up and an automatic events pull. Complete with a new logo, new tagline and new look and feel, this site is a complete makeover! Keeping all pages and content the same, no functionality was changed in this alteration—it was strictly a facelift!

Yesterday we launched the new and improved site for Jeff Harbaugh. Jeff’s previous site contained a database in which he stored PDFs of articles and excerpts written by him, however the user functionality of commenting and searching easily was missing. Our solution was to completely redesign and rebuild within WordPress. Jeff’s articles are now categorized and organized within the Public Company Analysis or Market Watch Column. Complete with over 170 posts already, this new site has an edgy, yet clean look to convey the business of action sports. Jeff is overjoyed by the ability to manage this site and has already hit the ground running with keeping the content fresh and updated.

We are proud to have recently launched the beautiful and highly functional site for Coalition Tactical Medicine. This non-profit site serves as a central communication hub that links both military and civilian medical providers to lifesaving information. This completely custom website built within a WordPress platform houses a number of informational pages including donation and scholarship applications, email alerts and a private Board of Directors page. The primary informational source is the interactive blog (branded as the MedMash knowledge Gateway) which is currently registration and login only to review the information. Coalition Tactical Medicine has gone the extra mile and are taking advantage of Social Media Marketing and are auto-feeding ‘snipets’ of the MedMash posts to both Facebook and Twitter. The client is thrilled beyond words about the presentation and functionality of this site and is ecstatic about being able to edit content, posts, approve users, capture registration information and even update the rotating header images.
