NO REQUEST IS TO BIG OR TOO SMALL!

Like we said, we'll do anything, even if we don't think it's the best way to go. We'll make sure to tell you why we don't think you should do something, but if you still want it that way we can surely accomodate! Check it out:

BannerBooth.com
We spent a lot of time over the years on this web site with constant changes and improvements in the design, making the code more efficient, cleaning up the graphics and more. After a period of about 6 months this client decided that his web appearance was too sophisticated for the company's target market. They sell to the small, first time exhibitor who would normally rent instead of purchase a display. Customers indicated that the web site made the company appear more "big time" than they thought they could afford. By simplifying the layout, using different fonts, adding product prices to the site, relying more on product descriptions, and gradually replacing images with photographs, we helped them increase their sales to their target market. The result is the current Bannerbooth.com

StanRoback.com
This was a quickie. Stan is a voiceover guy and needed a web site FAST so he could have a place to present his voice demos for potential commercial voiceover work. He asked for "nothing fancy" so we threw together a very quick web site that was simple, clean and to the point. The most important feature of his site was the ability to hear his voice demos. We encoded all of his voice demos into multiple streaming audio formats and created an easy to understand interface for potential customers to hear his demos. Total time spent: 5 hours

BigFistBooking.com
The client's biggest concern here was simplicity. He was so annoyed with web sites that were so complex that you couldn't see the content for what it was and you couldn't even navigate. We showed him some ideas we thought would benefit his site and he said, "Nope. Make it plain and simple. That's all nice but it's way too much. Just do this." No arguments here! Simple and to the point, this site does exactly what they asked for. While it may look simple on the outside it's actually very complex on the inside. We built a custom admin section using PHP that allows Big Fist Booking to add, remove and delete their artist roster information. Without knowing a bit of code they can upload MP3's, photos, biographies, press kits and more from their desks allowing them to control the information seen by their visitors as needed.

Buzz-Oven.com
On the other side of the difficulty spectrum we have Buzz-Oven.com. Buzz-Oven is a "Street Team" organization where members work together to distribute free CD's, posters, and tickets to Buzz-Oven events. Every 3 months Buzz-Oven puts out a compilation CD and the members organize to promote the artists through meetings and events. The members from all over the state need to communicate with each other daily and keep track of their activities. Buzz-Oven completely redesigns their web site every 3 months from top to bottom when they release a new CD.

Because of the frequency of the site changes, Buzz-Oven contacted us to design a custom back-end that would always work no matter what design changes they made, thus keeping them from having to redo absolutely everything every time. We designed a custom admin section for them so that all they have to do is plug the existing code into their new design. It cost them a little more initially for the custom coding but now, when it comes to redesigning their site 4 times a year, they can just hire us to modify the code slightly to affect color changes instead of creating completely new code every time they change the design. This entire web site is now a self-sufficient community where members can signup, login, post activities and profiles, and keep track of everything they do all over the state of Texas. And when they redo it all in 3 months the core of the site will work as it did 3 months earlier without skipping a beat.
