Roberta from Mark McCabe Repair and Service, contacted me looking for a small site that had a retro feel to it and that she could update herself.    The target audience for this site is rural farmers who may not be web savvy, so we needed to ensure the site was easy to read and navigate.

The finished site has a nice clean look to it that will be easy for Roberta to update with CushyCMS.

Brunn Construction, a Minnesota builder, was looking for an exciting new website for their remodeling division – Brunn Remodeling.

They were looking for a flexible and effective web design that would showcase their quality work, emphasize their woman centric approach to home building and most importantly would be designed to attract more clients and generate leads.

In collaborative meetings with members of the Brunn Team, their new home sales coach, and a copy writer,  we were able to nail down a design/layout and content that I am sure will prove to be very successful for Brunn.  The site is chalked full of before and after pictures and testimonials. Browse through and see how Brunn Remodeling can help you enhance your living space without having to leave your neighborhood!

Kristin Williams, of Path Communications, had a very clear vision on what she wanted for a logo and website design and only a 2-3 week time frame for completion. The logo was to be crisp, professional and to really emphasize the concept of a “path”. The site was a simple brochure style site that would provide contact info, services offered, company background and references/portfolio.

Because Kristin was excellent at communicating her vision and ideas and we easily completed the project in two weeks.  I am sure Kristin’s organization and creative ideas come from her own branding/marketing background and she certainly made it easy for me to do my job. Anyone working with her can see she is a total professional!

I was feeling inspired and took a few minutes to come up with some neat social networking icons/badges. The set comes in two sizes (64×64 and 48×48) includes icons for MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and a RSS feed.  Looking for another social networking icon to match? Just let me know and when I have a couple minutes to whip one up, I will add it.

I am excited to announce the recent launch of FraserValleyPulse.com. I have worked with Kristi Ferguson, the founder and editor of FraserValleyPulse.com, for several years now, so when she came to me with a new project I couldn’t wait to get started!   Her enthusiasm for her new venture was contagious and it became my responsibility to bring her vision for the site to life.

Kristi wanted a vehicle for promoting the exciting and wonderful businesses, events and overall community of Fraser Valley and because she is a DIY kind of gal, it was important that she be able to update the site regularly and easily herself.   Design-wise Kristi wanted something that was fresh, contemporary, fun, funky yet professional and oh yeah, something that appealed to both men and women. She also wanted to incorporate music and different pictures on each page header. (I know, she doesn’t ask for much does she?!)

After reviewing her “wants”, Kristi and I discussed the options and we decided to use WordPress as a CMS platform so that she could manage updates online and use the actual blog functionality for the Weekly Pulses.  We integrated many WordPress plug-ins that enable Kristi to manage advertising, search engine optimization, social networking, and more!   I am happy that Kristi is enjoying much success with the new site and am always thrilled when she shares the fantastic feedback she is receiving.
