Creation-1

Our Friend and client Miles Mosley has just joined Tumblr. Follow Him! It will be the official image gallery for all things Miles Mosley. We made a few minor customizations to the popular “Minimalist Theme” on Tumblr.

Creation-1 will be closed between December 23 and January 1st for holiday break.  We will only be checking email periodically.  Feel free to call us with any emergencies and we will be happy to help you.  Happy Holidays!

We just launched http://Clearly-Balanced.com – a company offering professional organizing services to the greater Seattle area.  The site is a custom design powered by WordPress.

We worked with the talented team at Square Tomato in Seattle to develop this snazzy holiday campaign site for The Shops at The Bravern in Bellevue, WA.  We developed some really fun jQuery effects around their design to spice things up and add some interactivity.  It’s amazing what you can do now without Flash!  Building this site resulted in my article about Facebook Open Graph which you can see was used quite effectively on this site.  Take a look for yourself here.

We just finished the web development and launch of the IN-NW Conference website.  We had a little fun with the design supplied by 206Inc and added lots of fun jQuery effects like the sliding panels and pop-up effects on the speakers.  Creation-1 will be one of the main event sponsors.  Check the details here and see ya in February!

We are ecstatic to announce the launch of http://sagementoring.org/ – A site representing a wonderful school based mentoring program based in Suquamish, WA.  Sage is a part of Washington State Mentors.  We developed this site working with the talented team at NPower Northwest utilizing WordPress as a content management system.  Look out for more collaborations between NPower Northwest and Creation-1 in the future!

We have recently rejoined the Seattle Metro Chamber of Commerce (Formerly known as the Greater Seattle Chamber) as Silver Members!  We are excited to be reunited with such a diverse group of business leaders in Seattle and are looking forward to attending the various events they host around town.  We will be attending the Young Professionals Network event tomorrow at Pratt park.  We hope to see you there

What can I say?  There really is no excuse.  It’s a small shop here a C-1.  We concentrate quite heavily on face to face human- type networking and we have been plotting and planning how we would shape our image via social media.  We have come a long way in 5 years as a company and we are just getting to that point where we want to announce ourselves to the world!  Most of our time is spent connecting with people in real life and listening to their ideas. This is what we have prided ourselves on over the past few years.  We understand that people have had bad experiences working with people in this industry.  We know that web developers are typically hard to contact, never answer the phone, disappear near deadlines, and work strange hours.  That’s why we always tell people to call us.  We will pick up the phone, we will answer you on Skype or iChat, we will respond to your email by the next business day, and we will always return carrier pigeons promptly- weather permitting.

This is where Facebook comes in.  We will use it more to connect with people and share our ideas, not so much for promotion.  We understand that most people are not interested in our rather geektastic pursuits which is why our FB page will likely be promoting other peoples projects and highlighting what we think is shaping our future landscape in society.  Because let’s face it, web development now affects every aspect of our lives.

With that said, enjoy our musings and the occasional stupid joke and “Like” us in the right sidebar of the blog.

We just launched http://MyNorthSeattleHome.com- The informative and playfully designed site of Seattle Real Estate expert Conor MacEvilly.  We designed and developed the site with Conor’s idea of having something equally loud and memorable as it is useful.  We teamed up with Terry Macintosh at IDXNW who built an amazing API that lets us search for Seattle Area homes within the site all while utilizing WordPress as a content management system.  The site is full of useful tidbits about buying and selling homes in Seattle.  Take a look for yourself!

Congratulations to our long time friend Melanie Duerkopp on her new WordPress powered blog!  Melanie is a talented photographer who specializes in weddings and portraits.  Check out her work- here and her blog- here
