After numerous client meetings, calls and planning, we have officially launched Schoolbags for Kids! This is a unique site whose purpose is just as beautiful as the look and feel—for every schoolbag sold, one bag filled with school supplies will be given to a child in need. Currently the site promotes one collection of Schoolbags, the ‘Signature Collection’, however, the store will soon expand promoting various collections and patterns. With a playful design and fun pop-ups, you can navigate through the site to learn more about the mission, history and adorable characters. One of my favorite features of this warm site is the ‘create your own badge’ feature that appears after purchasing a bag. Here you can upload a photo and input personal information to create a bag ID in color of your choice to be printed and placed in the Schoolbag’s ID pouch.

Many talented people came together to make this site possible and it was a great joy and privilege working with so many backgrounds. For starters we worked with their designer by taking their beautiful creations and adjusting them slightly to be built within the ecommerce system ASPDotNetStorefront. We also worked with their fulfillment company by integrating their system and the storefront for order processing. In addition to integrating with the fulfillment company, many other platforms and systems were integrated into this one site—such as Constant Contact (opt-in located in the footer of every page) and Facebook ‘like button’ allowing users to share content with friends on Facebook.

The client is very pleased with the results and happy to announce sales are already taking place and the ‘buzzz’ is already spreading! On July 26th they will be featured on Daily Candy and we will soon begin discussions of building Phase 2 (the beekeepers club).

We are excited to present the new and improved look and feel for the Wave Transit website. This website was rebuilt within a content management system (DNN) that provides the ability to add, edit and delete content, images and elements of the website. The new site includes a comprehensive website search tool that will search all text within the website. In addition, we were able to incorporate a translator module on all pages that allows for the easy translation of all website text, content and navigation. Finally, this site features an updated Real Time Bus Tracking tool which is more interactive and uses Google Maps instead of Yahoo. Be sure to check out the new site’s design and unique features!

Physical Therapy for Women has undergone a simple site makeover! We recently took their old site and rebuilt/updated it within a content management system (DNN). The new site mimics the old site’s navigation and structure, but now has new right pane images, rotating header images, wider design for today’s monitor resolutions and is optimized for the search engines.

Bike Cycles was ready to update their website for Spring and came to us with the goal of revamping the overall look and feel. Additionally they wanted to add a blog to the site to increase communication with their customers. We were excited to work with these great clients again to give their site a face-lift. After several photo shoots in their store and design work on unique background images, we redesigned the site to have a brighter, cleaner feel. We incorporated a WordPress blog that matches the website, and they are already sharing news and updates with the cycling community!

I am happy to announce that the new Vacation Home Services website launched yesterday!  They are a new vacation property management company that came to Sage Island for a new logo and new website for their business.  Their site is built in DNN for easy updates and will feature an integrated online reservation system in the near future.
