Creation-1

We just finished making a handful of fun updates to http://MilesMosley.com We added Jquery sliders to the Listen and Projects pages.  You can easily browse through the projects he is working on by category via the 4 image slider in the header.  We also developed a custom Twitter feed widget that is quite crafty!

Here’s a screenshot of the new Twitter widget design:

We were asked by The Seattle Chamber of Commerce to help them out with itstimeforbusiness.com . We added some new functionality for site members and also took some powerful steps to prevent spam in the members section.

Itstimeforbusiness.com is a community website by the Seattle Chamber built to engage local businesses and encourage economic recovery.

After months of conversations, design, and some pretty intense web development we have finally released the 3rd iteration of Creation-1.com!  We are very excited to release this as part of our updated brand.  Not really a “Rebrand”, this was more of a much needed update.  We wanted to simplify the site even more, giving users what they want first (our portfolio) while still showing off some cool development features.  Jason and I have also been talking about having the blog integrate more seamlessly with the website since we have been using it more and more to reach out to new and existing clients.

Geek Stuff:

Typical brainstorming sesh at Creation-1

Our goal was to move away from Flash.  As of lately we have seen the demand for Flash development go Waaaaaay down.  This has caused the technologies we use to evolve as well.  We used jQuery for our gallery slider and accordion style animation in the nav making it compatible with most mobile devices.  In the “Contact” area we have an AJAX form with email validation as well as a little JavaScript to show our Skype and iChat status.  The PHP includes for the latest blog posts are the cherry on top of this little cupcake and the rest is just in good ol’ XHTML and CSS!

P.S. For the custom font we used font-face.  We used CA BND Bold from Cape Arcona Type Foundry in Germany. Thanks!

We had the pleasure of working with Mills Communications Group in Seattle, WA on developing a custom WordPress site for Explorations in Math.  We built a site that can be maintained completely by the client.  This site is a great example of the possibilities of WordPress when building a business website.

I just read a great article at the Neuroscience Marketing Blog about how bad websites increase stress levels.  Take a look at the article it’s a great read:  http://www.neurosciencemarketing.com/blog/articles/web-stress.htm

This really brings home the fact that you want a website that is going to simplify your potential client’s life, not complicate it.  Your business was established to provide a solution.  If you are creating more problems with your client through your bad website the client will be less likely to contact you for your services.

We are proud to announce that Humerlis.com is now powered by Genus.  Our Online business solution is powering the website along with user forums and CRM trackable contact pages.  Humerlis Inc offers convenient office space and meeting locations for Issaquah, Sammaamish and I-90 corridor businesses along with consulting and business support services.

We are proud to announce the launch of a job in the works for quite a few months.  Stylistic Funk is a hip purveyor of urban fashion, art and music and we worked together with the talented designers at Artjocks in LA to develop this website and integrate it into the Genus online business solution.  The end product is a a great online store with all the bells and whistles!  Browse through the catalogs at http://stylisticfunk.com you may just find something you like!

We were commissioned by Artjocks in LA to implement a WordPress blog with all the bells and whistles.  Bardo is a a great band and the blog enables them to engage their fan base directly.

We have updated http://TryGenus.com to make the information more organized into more intuitive content sliders. We have also added an “Examples” page to help you get a better idea of what a genus site looks like.  The answer turns out to be that it looks like any other site on the web.  The only difference is that it’s powered by one of the most powerful backends on the market today!

We were asked to do a slight redesign on an already established website for talented architectural photographer Dan Forer. We brought his site a little more up to date with universal navigation and a little more classy look. Take a look Here.
