Drupal
The Peekskill Arts Council
We relaunched the PAC website in the spring of 2010 after two years with one of our very first Drupal® CMS websites. In the 24+ months from the initial launch, we had learned so much, and had developed so many custom applications, we had to bring the site up to date and give those members a great new profile page in which they could publish their own bio's, upload images and have the site resize automatically, and also post their own events. We are quite pleased with the result and have since realized how many other arts organizations could benefit from a website similar to this one. Our Online Community Sites were created to give those organizations, clubs, and galleries, an incredible Content Management System (CMS) that allows them to provide individual artist profile pages, lists of artists on the site, and even taxonomy to categorize by medium. There is also the ability to keep memberships counted and paid for with additional e-commerce. We have an affordable entry-level package if you are an organization and are interested in offering something incredible to your members with a way to generate revenue. |
Sarah Haviland
New York artist and sculptor, Sarah Haviland's website is focused on the artist and her work. "Artistic" websites are a bit different than a typical business website since it is a showcase that needs to reflect the artistic sensibilities of the artist. We see this as an advantage when working with us since our roots do reach down to the fine arts, and we offer a well rounded, aesthetic approach. You won't find that from many commercial website design firms. A dramatic homepage is the opening scene in this website. From there, you can easily navigate through several galleries of sculpture, drawings, and installations. Sarah has the power of Drupal® behind her website- a CMS application that allows her to upload, manage, and categorize her work exactly as she wishes. Most artists we know are quite capable technically, but even for those that may not be so inclined, a Drupal CMS website allows them to keep their site current. Search engines love that too. |
Dress-A-Child
Through a strategic partnership with Eurokids, we created a website for an e-commerce start-up business selling children's clothing and accessories. Dress A Child is an online presence that is supported by a print catalog in addition to SEO. The site went online in early February, 2010 and began taking orders immediately. The site is built on Drupal 6.x using Ubercart as a comprehensive E-commerce solution and PayPal as the integrated gateway and merchant bank. Dress A Child utilizes many of the features within the online store including product attributes to offer size and style variations and discount coupons. |
Hemlock Hill Farm
Hemlock Hill Farm came to us for a website they could keep current and update themselves. We said, "Drupal". We say that a lot these days and why not, it is the absolute best open source CMS we've seen. What we have attempted to master is applying a unique style to each Drupal website we design and build. We have built many of these CMS sites in 2008 and 2009 and plan to continue. In addition to global support and the Drupal community, we have clients that tell us how much they love it, and how simple it is to edit and add to their websites. This site was awarded a Big W from the Advertising Club of Westchester in 2009, it is one of our best efforts to date. It's no coincidence our principal "GO2" guy was an agriculture student back in the day. |
Charles Griffin Intelligence, LLC
Communications are not necessarily literal when it comes to marketing and advertising. We like to call it "atmospheric" in the case of Charles Griffin Intelligence. There was a "feel" our client was attempting to evoke with photography and left it to us to put those in position and set them in motion. We were more than happy to assist. Collaboration with our clients is important to the success of our work and we are always open to their ideas and concerns. We will act as your experts, giving you honest appraisals based on knowledge and experience. We will not shy away from a difficult critique when we feel something could be better and vice versa, we are not primadonnas and can take direction. This "Website in a Day" began as one of our Smart Site products and played out very well for our client. Once the initial site was built and online, we were called back to improve upon the styling. That is the scenario we envision for some of you- need for a very professional site, and then build onto it as the business grows and budgets allow or needs dictate. Our client had their content ready to go, and we literally built out a CMS site in 24 hours. |
