Fire!

Tue, Feb. 10 2009

You may have heard, Australia is burning.I checked in with Lis over the weekend and she says the closest fires are at the coast - two hours away.The fire isn't likely to reach her in Canberra, but they're still getting the smoke and she says it smells like a cook-out.

Creators Media Group Website Launch

Mon, Jan. 26 2009

Our good friends at Creators Media Group approached us a couple of months ago to redo their website. These are exciting times for CMG – they just opened another office in New York as they expand their established video production services to be a complete creative communications solution, and we were happy to help them raise their game. CMG came to us with a preliminary design in hand, a rough idea of what they wanted from their website, and a history of dealings with shady web companies who weren’t returning phone calls.

Our to-do list looked something like this:

  • Redo design
  • Redo website
  • Create custom CMS so CMG can manage their own content – including video uploads
  • Enable file-sharing capabilities with a simple login
  • Make the site search friendly and hook-up Google Analytics
  • Answer the phone

The site went live over the weekend and I think we delivered on all counts.

David Binney 3.0

Fri, Jan. 23 2009

Just wrapped a major musician website platform upgrade for jazz sax man, David Binney. This release marks Dave's third major update since the original site. Dave’s website was the original model for the musician platform so it’s good to come full circle and hook him up with all the bells and whistles we’ve developed since.

The e-commerce system got a complete makeover with a new fancy custom cart and enhancements like the ability to gift music and redeem vouchers for stuff purchased at gigs. But the bigger news is the site is now Canadian friendly.

The front-end also got an update – things are generally bigger and easier to read and there’s less digging to get where you want to go.

We also set him up with a new custom email template to blast his list and keep his fans current on what he’s up to.

Check out the all new, bigger and better davidbinney.com
