When the owner of Dawson Development contacted us, their site was down, and they only had images of their old site to work with. They knew what look and feel they were going for, and what elements they wanted on their website, to showcase their company.   We knew that one of our latest themes, MEASURE would be a great option for them to start with! To match their old website, we added a red background image to compliment their logo, and styled the text boxes so it would really pop.

We were really excited when the City of Alpine came to us to convert their site onto our CMS tool.    They had some broken links we were able to retrieve, without too much issue, so no pertinent information was lost. Their endgame was to: Convert their existing site content and imagery Upload important forms and documents Be able to edit content whenever they wanted Record monthly minutes Update the community of upcoming events/news So we did all that for them! J  With some timely dedication from our team, we were able to get their site converted, with about the same look and feel as their existing site, with some additional improvements in about a week!  We immediately went to Alpine to train some of their city staff, so they could maintain the site themselves.

We have had the utmost pleasure putting together the new Sport Court website.   We are all users of their products-at one time or another, as well as a spectators of sports where athletes use their products on the daily.

Sport Court wanted several things solved for them with a new website: Complete mobile functionality Easy edibility Ability to replicate pages Blogging tool to update latest news Easier user functionality for site visitors to navigate Gallery functionality based on sport and venue and more! We were up for the challenge!  Sport Court had a great website to help glean from.

This realtor wanted to keep people up-to-date with the best food around town, where to go skiing and mountain biking, and events that may be worth checking out.

Using free images on your blogs or content authors has made online writing all the more easy to find great images to draw your readers in. We often get clients who want to keep up regular blogs.   They assume that they can grab whatever images they want because the Internet is free right? (note our sarcasm here)  Blogging is a very unique beast.
