ChargeView

Another fine collaboration with associates Mindflint Media rendered a sharp new site for our client ChargeView.

Specializing in software applications that streamline the deployment of electric vehicles, ChargeView utilizes a unique layout to emphasize their green approach and brand.

Featuring a fancy jQuery dropdown navigation system, Flash highlights, social marketing aspects and a stylish CSS3 formatted layout, ChargeView’s new site is as unique as their products.

BlueBird Strategies

Advanced marketing and lead generation firm BlueBird Strategies and VectorDefector have joined forces to establish some new marketing initiatives for a variety of clients! First up is BlueBird Strategies themselves with a brand new site.

With both design and development completed by me, this site focuses on highlighting BlueBird Strategies’ unique approach to assisting clients in developing new marketing plans and establishing new clientele through leads. Built on the WordPress platform, this site features a new unique slideshow written in jQuery and a variety of easy-to-update options for keeping content fresh.

Lookin’ sharp guys – cheers to new business!

Windhaven Medical Imaging

Another fine collaboration with my associates at Mindflint Media yielded a brand new site for the good folks at Windhaven Medical Imaging. Focusing on top-of-the-line, high tech medical imaging and radiology, Windhaven sought out a simple yet clean data-driven site to encompass their brand and messaging.

This custom site built on the WordPress platform features SEO friendly data driven content, and some added features for physicians and visitors alike.

Another nice turnout!

WordPress 3.0

This week, the good folks at WordPress.org released the 13th iteration of their amazing open-source content management software entitled version 3.0: Thelonious.

Named after jazz legend Thelonious Monk, this version of WordPress comes with a number of neat new features beneficial to both overall organization and to customizable development.

A brief list of features I’m really excited about:

• New User Customizable Menu items (still needs work, but a great idea)
• Ability to associate an image thumbnail with a post or page (previously I had to write a hack in the theme to get this to work right). Users can even use existing images in their library.
• Ability to define background and header images so users can pick from a library of possibilities
• Developers now have the ability to create custom content types apart from the standard “page” or “post” common to existing WordPress versions. (Ex: I have a radio client who has content for their own business and separate content for radio shows. Now they can manage those entries in independent sections.)

In addition to the new features are the 1200+ updates and big fixes they’ve included in this update.

With great new features for both users and developers, WordPress continues to be my favourite framework for building classy, extensible websites that are mega-easy to use and update!

World Orphans

Another great collaboration with my associates, Mindflint Media, yielded a fantastic success for our client World Orphans: a non-profit specializing in fully-transparent donations to countries in need, typically for the purpose of aiding orphans.

Working in tandem with World Orphan’s development team, the Mindflint team and VectorDefector put our heads together to establish a new brand, website theme, blog, donation method and simple e-commerce store-front.

Utilizing our new shop and donation system, visitors to World Orphans can pick the exact project, country or effort to put their money towards or involve their friends to create their own trackable donation campaigns.

Another great cause and great results!

VectorDefector is now booked until August with projects from a number of new clients (and some existing)! We’re happy to add: eBroadcast Studios, a business oriented online talk radio producer,  GreenBookShare, a distributor of books oriented around “green” trends and lifestyles, and Blue Bird Strategies, and organization centered around developing quality marketing, contacts and leads and many more!

We also have a number of projects in queue getting ready for completion, so get ready for a slew of launch notices and case studies in the next few weeks. Whew- stay tuned!

Acoustic Eidolon

In an effort to maintain continuing quality service to my customers, I periodically revisit past projects in order to give them a bit of a “facelift”. One recent example are masters of the acoustic world, Acoustic Eidolon.

We recently re-visited their site for some necessary maintenance and a few new bells and whistles featuring: improved receipts for the e-commerce store, new photos and lyrics content and overall improvements to site-wide functionality.

Still lookin’ sharp and running even better now- thanks guys!

Faith Chapel

Another collaboration with my partners at Mindflint Media, progressive church Faith Chapel launched with flying colors.

Mission Landscaping

Contract and layout via associates Byte Technology, the Mission Landscaping site features the awe-inspiring work of Monterey, CA’s expert landscapers.

This full Flash/CSS hybrid site features scalable content and custom slideshows to highlight fantastic hi-resolution photography provided by Mission. Utilizing Flash to display high-res images in this manner allows for their vivid photos to shine no matter what the screen size.

Excellent site- if only I could get paid in Tuscan time-shares…
