Lori Lustig Executive Search There are some websites that make fantastic examples of how less makes more impact. We worked with Lori Lustig on this site closely and it was relatively easy because she was so decisive, knowing exactly what she wanted. We are both extremely happy with the results. This site contains examples of some very elegant Flash animation. We are of the opinion that a Flash intro should be engaging and not invite a visitor to "skip" it. We will typically argue to build the intro directly into the home page to increase usability, allowing visitors to navigate from the very first screen. Lori's logo won a Big W Bronze award in 2008 since it was completed prior to the launch of the site, and we were honored twice with this job when the website was also awarded a Big W Silver in 2009.

Knowing Science Knowing Science is a new science curriculum for Pre-Kindergarten through Second grade students. Designed for the classroom or homeschooling scenarios. We had the great fortune of being selected to develop illustrations and the eventual website for this new science curriculum that teaches science standards at the earliest levels of education. We love science and technology and we're all for better education for everyone, a win-win situation. The site uses Drupal CMS to provide flexible content creation, editing, and management. The e-commerce engine is provided by Ubercart, which we feel is one of the most streamlined and efficient shopping cart experiences. The look and feel of the site was intended to be clean and uncluttered leaving focus directly on the subject and not the site itself. Visit the site online at knowingscience.com |
The Bird & Bottle Inn One of the Hudson Valley's well known fine dining and unique lodging experiences is now well represented in this newly released website. The Bird & Bottle Inn located in Garrison, New York is only a few miles north of northern Westchester county. Once known as Warren's Tavern, it has been there since 1761, operating in the colonial days. Our assignment was to accurately portray the warm and welcome atmosphere visitors experience when they enter the historic inn. We provided a CMS application that allows events, press releases, menus, and other content to be added, organized, and edited simply and easily by the Bird & Bottle staff. In addition to the design and development of the site, we also provided location photography. We worked in collaboration with The Gold Standard who provided writing, photography, and direction on overall navigation and page flow. Visit the site online at www.thebirdandbottleinn.com |
Morgan Construction & Cabinetry, Ltd. When we saw the type of work they did, we were very excited to design the website for Morgan Construction & Cabinetry, Ltd. The success of a showcase site such as this relies heavily on photography and we were fortunate to have many source images. Of course it also depends on how those images are displayed. We often aim to design marketing support that reflect the quality or level of service that our clients provide. For Morgan, this meant we would be designing an exquisite website. We go the distance for all of our clients just as they do for theirs. Browse the site live online. |
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. |
