We recently revamped WB LiveSurf’s website to have a fresh new look and some new features for all to enjoy. Some of the many changes accomplished are:

• Built in HTML5/CSS3
• Removed the login so viewers can now peruse all pages of the site
• A new larger 1080 HD view of the Live Cam which is now Iphone, Ipad, Droid and Blackberry compatible
• Additional Ad spaces created and managed by Absolute Banner Ad Manager
• New weather modules displaying live weather information on every page
• Larger view of the daily photos
• Tabular view of both WB LiveSurf news and Surfline News

In early 2011 we were tasked with the challenge to rebuild both SeaDek.com & SeaDekStore.com into one seamless, streamlined website. Today I’m pleased to announce we have successfully completed this project and you can view the new and improved site here.

Built in both ASPDotNetStorefront and WordPress, this site is a beast in itself and includes a wide range of functionality:

• The Home page features a rotating JavaScript, Embedded YouTube video, Blog Feed, Flickr Feed and a Constant Contact Email Opt-in
• The Products section of the site is custom per product category and some product categories include multiple price changing drop down options. Each product contains a Facebook Like and Addthis Share, as well as an overview, installation instructions, features, color options, photos, videos and return policy.
• The Photos section of the site includes a Flickr Embedded thumbnail view of photos in the WordPress platform. It brings up a neat lightbox/ajax when clicking to enlarge the thumbnail.
• The Videos section of the site utilizes a third party tool allowing us to dynamically feed in videos uploaded to SeaDek’s YouTube channel.
• The News section of the site is a WordPress Blog. We imported old posts (3 year’s worth) from client’s old blog (previously Blogger) into WordPress, and skinned this blog to look like the new website.
• The site’s storefront is fully manageable and integrates with a UPS account for shipping calculations

We all came together as a team to make this site possible and it was such a joy working with SeaDek! Overall the client is very pleased with the results thus far and has hit the ground running in editing the site and keeping content and product information up to date. Be sure to check out the new site when you get a chance!

New Site:

Original Site:

With one of the largest online fan communities, One Tree Hill has grown immensely in popularity over the years and it’s all filmed right outside our office doors! As Wilmingtonians, we have been lucky to see the actors and scenes being filmed around our town for years. Over the past nine seasons they have accumulated thousands of pieces for their sets and wardrobes, which is all being made available to purchase at their much anticipated Wrap Sale.

Sage Island was lucky enough to work  with the great people over at Auction Co. of Wilmington and the team at One Tree Hill for this job. Tasked with designing and building a website that mirrors the One Tree Hill brand and showcases the vast amount of items for sale, we were excited to get to work. The new website is built in WordPress, which integrates perfectly with their Flickr photo albums containing THOUSANDS of photos of the items being auctioned off on December 9-11. With over 5 million fans on Facebook, One Tree Hill supporters are anxiously awaiting the Wrap Sale and we know will be visiting the website for a sneak peak. That being said,the website needed to be able to handle the large amount of traffic, which our hosting department gladly took care of!

We have so enjoyed working with this One Tree Hill project, the perfect send off to the production that has been in our backyard for so many years. We are looking forward to attending the Wardrobe Sale and Auction ourselves!

We just love working with the local organizations and lending a helping hand! This year we were fortunate enough to again work with our close friends from both Lighthouse Beer & Wine and Cucalorus!  With October quickly coming to an end and November rapidly approaching we were privileged to help prepare for 2 large annual events.

The first event took place last weekend, and it was the renown Lighthouse Beer & Wine Beer Festival. This year marked the festival’s 10th year in the making and it went off without a hitch! To prepare for this event we provided our creative services to help brainstorm the theme and create the poster design. You can guarantee more than half the Sage Island staff attended the event and are probably in the festival’s photo gallery celebrating another successful Beer Festival!

Another event we are looking forward to is the upcoming annual film festival, hosted by Cucalorus, which takes place in our own town of Wilmington, NC from November 10-13, 2011. To gear up for this year’s big event we provided our services in the creation of the festival poster, festival post card and trifold, as well as reskinned the website to match this year’s theme. Be sure to take a look at the site’s new look and feel! Start checking out the films that will be featured and if you feel extra generous, give a donation here to help Cucalorus put on the event!

What’s more fun than delicious frozen yogurt and dozens of toppings that range from fresh kiwis to Fruity Pebbles?! Well, not much actually and that is why we are proud and honored to be a part of the young and fun Fuzzy Peach website revamp. We here at Sage Island are huge fans of this booming local business and were thrilled to have the opportunity to build a new website appropriately mimicking the fun feel of the growing company.

In addition to this colorful website that showcases mouth watering products, store photography, a list of their ever changing flavors, and of course a blog section, we also worked with the team on new cup designs (coming soon!) and cleverly witty idioms that we just know their fans will love: “Carpe di Peach” everyone!

The new site was custom designed and built in DotNetNuke with the incorporation of a WordPress blog to keep their many fans in the know. We’re getting hungry just looking at it, so check it out for yourself and go visit one of their four locations in town!

It is with great pleasure that I announce the recent launch of the new Wilmington Animal Healthcare website! Built in our usual content management system (DNN), this site features an editable rotating JavaScript header (featuring our very own Mazie dog and Puff cat), embedded Flickr Gallery, and multiple editable pages the client can manage to keep the site’s content updated and fresh. Overall, the client is pleased with the new look and feel that greatly compliments the vet facility and has already taken the liberty in managing the site and adding new text, pages and pictures.
