• Built in HTML5/CSS3

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!

Original Site:

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!

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!
