A Woman's Fund desperately needed to upgrade their existing site. They needed new art, a new look and feel, and above all, a better way to navigate so their clients could get the information they needed. Along the way other needs begain to surface, such as creating a new volunteer tracking calendar system to dramatically improve the way they communicate. |
The East Central Illinois Terminix office needed a web site that matched the national site in look and feel, but had local information as well. Not only were we able to match the look of the national site before they had even released it, we were able to do it with 20% less code, and without validition errors. |
Black Prairie Ag needed a web site done professionally but also quickly due to an advertising deadline. We were able to get it done before the deadline. We even had time to work with the client on a few improvements to make the site even better. |
When Blue Kangaroo Books was purchased by new owners, they wanted a new site with new features like a calendar and newsletter, so we created it. When it was sold again, part of the sale included our continued customer service and assistance to the new owners as they made their own changes. |
The Center for Taiji Studies had a design largely in place. However, it was from a print designer. While it was beautiful and elegant, it was not initially practical for the web. The very active volunteers often use our web site interface to make most of their own changes. |
The Marines at Champaign Toys for Tots wanted a clean, simple site that they could use to inform the public about upcoming events and tell them where they could drop off toys. They did not want to spend a lot of money that could go to the children. We were able to take care of their needs, and assist them with upgrades every year to keep the information current. |
Closet Space Storage needed a site that showed they were different from your usual self-storage facility - and they needed it on a very tight budget! We work with new businesses that are struggling to get going. We get them a good, solid, basic web presence at good rates - and then we help them grow! |
We were approached to simply transfer this site in and host it. Country Junction wished us to leave the design 'as is'. However, as the original site was developed using an automated program, we chose to go in and completely re-write the HTML in order to make the site more universally viewable and more easily upgraded. |
CU Free, like many groups, does not have a building of their own. They use the web to communicate with their current members, and to gather new ones. We developed their logo and setup Paypal® and Amazon® links for fundraising. We also created automated tools to keep the quotes and featured reading fresh. |
The Danville Chapter of AMBUCS needed a web site that followed all the current accessibility standards and was clean, simple, and friendly. We also developed a system to order their 7 years of archived newsletters to make updating the site quick and easy. |
The Downers Grove Animal Hospital web site was actually created by one of our consultants working with our technical team. She used our sophisticated tools to automate many tasks, handle forms, and make the entire site easy to update. |
F&R Roofing has been in business for over 17 years. Recently people began asking for an email address and web site rather than a phone number and brochure. We provided a quick, simple, web brochure and email address that they could use in their marketing. We helped with the copy and provided a few photos as well. |
FiberTEQ serves the only two firms of any size in their industry. As such, they do not need a web site for promotion. We developed a sophisticated system to tie into their SQL database (used to track a number of things in their plant) - thus allowing staff and clients easy SECURE access. In addition, they now have the ability to log comments in a ticketing system. |
The Greater Champaign County Chapter of AMBUCS saw what we did for the Danville Chapter of AMBUCS and wanted something similar in scope, but in their own style. We worked with them to create that style, and continue to work on updating the site and their newsletters. We do it all at very affordable rates so they can continue to do good works. |
When we joined a local BNI chapter, the Illini BNI, we decided to show the members what we could do, and add a little value to the group. We did not expect that it would become so useful, or so heavily used. It enables some internet presence for some of our members who are to small to have their own sites, and has helped us communicate with each other. |
Indiana Precision needed a new site to replace their old one - and they needed us to re-create their logo from an old low resolution jpeg. We also went to their plant, donned safety gear, and took all the photos they needed for the web site. |
One of our oldest clients, Innovation-Triz, has grown from a small site to one requiring a bit of our time each month to help maintain ever-changing events, a newsletter and more. Jack is able to make a number of changes himself as well - uploading new content for his clients and tweaks here and there through the web site interface. |
KEFern is really more of just a light, simple, personal project than something very serious. However, it has a pretty good look overall, and for some, an interesting font. Of course, like all our sites, the site still works well even if you cannot see all of the features. |
Palmer Arena has undergone some work 'under the hood' over the years but still looks pretty much the same as it did when we rolled it out in 2000. However, various secure forms have been added so Palmer Arena staff could add and edit a variety of things in the site, including a sophisticated calendar system which takes data from their database for easy updates. |
The Parent & Educator Partnership needed a site that was cost-efficient, easy to maintain, and partially bi-lingual. They also needed a public forum, a forum just for the mentors, a mailing list and a few other technological pieces. We continue to assist them with maintaining the site. |
Polaris Financial Planning is in a heavily regulated industry, so they wanted a small web site that would promote them, yet pass inspection. Later we added PolarisRadio - a series of mp's which provide even more information. |
A designer approached us and asked us to take their idea and make it into a web site for their client. We did, and worked with them to improve on the layout in the process. We also host Prairie Place and provide detailed tracking so they know people are visiting. |
The educators at Reading Advantage wanted a site that was very inexpensive but got their point across. We also helped them get their product sold through PayPal® - and introduced them to another book store. |
A good example of simple design package, Research Survey Service was our first Web Brochure. Many clients need to expand their web site as they grow, but some do not need more web site. They need the same tight simple site they did years ago and they still need us to help them update it from time to time. |
This was one of our more complicated transfers. The Ruhl web site has a number of back end forms to make changes throughout the site. We not only recreated those forms, but improved them for ease of use. We continue to maintain and update the site, adding a variety of things each year and helping their staff make their own updates as well. |
Sean McKinney was a great juggler with some very innovative ideas. When we were approached to create a web site in his honor, we were pleased at the opportunity. The site has grown from the Web Brochure we created to incorporate a PayPal® driven shopping cart and donation system. With our help, the site has expanded Sean's unique approach to juggling. |
As part of our committment to Danville, we have designed, hosted, and updated the Summer Sounds web site at no charge. That, and the prospect of a warm summer evening spent in the park with good music and good friends, appeals to almost everyone! |
The Champaign County Black Chamber of Commerce needed a web site that could benefit their members and enable them to communicate. We created a site that suited their needs, and we continue to assist them in upkeep and maintenance as they grow and expand their services. |
Tuggle, Schiro & Lichtenberger needed an online presence and did not have one. They came to us for a good site at a good price. We continue to support them and remain available for changes they need to make, including updates to their results page and upgrades to their layout. |
Unlike many Realtors, Twin City Realty wanted a site that was more about their houses than about themselves. We created a backend system that enabled them to easily and quickly add and edit information about their listings. It meant they could make changes anywhere they had connectivity - even during an open house! |
Urbana Park District needed a complete overhaul - a new clean design, improved navigation, a layered backend upgrade system for a variety of people with a variety of levels of access, and they needed a host who could fill in the gaps when they did not have time. We exceeded their expectations and continue to provide the high level of support they require. |
Yorkshire Conservatories had a bit of art toward a logo, a few photos, and some ideas. They did not know what the final piece should look like, but they knew how it should feel. Our first sample for the client was exactly what they wanted! It so precisely fit that they used our material for their business cards and other marketing pieces. |
