SF Heritage needed to revamp their old and out dated website, which until now was built entirely with individual HTML pages. We brought them up to speed with a database driven, WordPress powered, future proof website. It consists of 40 pages, a fully functional blog for the home page, custom forms for contacting or inputting any info they need from a visitor, plus a custom PDF newsletter page for their new and archived newsletters.

Now that SF Heritage has an easily updateable site, with room for growth and an easier navigation for their visitors, they can focus on their content and members. This is a great solution for those with large informational sites.

We were needed to create a new front-end design for Rootquestion.org to portray a more professional web 2.0 look. After several design drafts, we came up with a clean and simple style that fit the site’s needs rather well. The goal was to guide users to the search function as the first step in using Root Question, and provide a visual explanation of what the site can be used for. The good folks at Root Question also have plans to move towards mobile usage.

This is a design mock-up for start up event opportunities company. Xpaid’s previous design was lacking the flair being portrayed by their community of event extremists. With the type of service Xpaid offers, we set out to design a very bold, clean and impactful homepage. With eye catching contrast and precise placement of important community information, our design suits Xpaid’s needs quite well, and with the type of style they craved.
