Ramsey Creek Cabinets Project

Published May 29, 2009 by Jade Sokoll

Ramsey Creek Cabinets contacted our company with the desire to create an updated website to aid in marketing their exotic wood cabinets and countertops. While they already had a website, they wanted to update the site to include more images, implemented SEO best practices, and clearly defined their products and services.

After our initial meeting, we created a home page wireframe that would meet the desires and needs of the client. First, we wanted the page to include a slideshow of completed projects. This was to give the visitor a quick idea of they type of projects they could accomplish with their company. Second, they wanted to highlight their 3 most important products. A section was set aside for each product to give a brief description and link to more detailed information. Finally, they wanted to provide a quick and obvious way for visitors to contact them. The sidebar area was designated to providing this quick access.

In addition to the design, the implementation of SEO best practices was an important aspect of the website development. Our goal was to focus marketing efforts to target potential clients looking for exotic wood counter tops and cabinets. Keywords and phrases were inserted in meta tags, content, headings, and more.

Overall, the website has been a success for the client. The design truly reflects the personality of the business.

Mars Hill Church Project

Published May 29, 2009 by Jade Sokoll

When it comes to church websites, it is vitally important to understand your audience. As a growing church in the Iowa City area, Mars Hill Church needed to produce a user friendly, informative website that would meet the needs of both new visitors and existing members. Our solution: a unique blend of content and functionality matched with a sharp new design.

The home page is organized in a way that provides recently updated content and information all in one place. New visitors can find service information, brief descriptions about the church and its beliefs, and ways to contact the church. Current members can stay up to date with the latest news feed and an events calendar. In addition, anyone can access recent publications or listen to the latest sermon podcasts right from the home page.

In addition to reaching a split audience, the website also needed to be designed for ease of navigation. The information architecture was created to allow all visitors to quickly navigate to the information they need to find.

After launch, the Mars Hill website was featured on several design websites including CSS Beauty and Best Web Gallery.
