The MacDowell Colony is a client that we have been proud to work with for many years. They have been in existence for over 100 years. The Colony is one the premier artist colonies in the United States and uses this website is one of the main tools to connect with future fellows and alumni. We have maintained and enhanced the site greatly over the past 5 years, bringing the Colony's virtual face to the public up to a level that they deserve and require. MacDowellColony.org is a robust website that performs as an interactive tool to engage the audience. Rich content and interactive areas create a vibrant environment for the artists and onlookers. Many design changes have been incorporated into the site design, and we have added numerous improvements on the front and backend.

A few of the improvements that we have made over the years include: News ticker display on the homepage; streamlined and improved functioning of navigation and Flash animation; Web forms which allow users to signup for E-mail and traditional news subscriptions, a custom calendar system to allow alumni to post events to a robust online calendar; an interactive timeline to demonstrate their 100 years of history; secure forms which allow online donations and ticket purchases for fund raisers; and most recently we launched an online application system that greatly improves the tedious administrative tasks for the admissions department. Several months in the making, the online application - a multiple step process, with complex scripting and prompts for usability,promises to provide a streamlined and intuitive application process for the applicant and the Colony. In addition to maintaining and enhancing the website, we have worked with The Colony on numerous print design projects, spin off website projects and the design and layout of their semi-annual tabloid size newsletter.

We worked with Humane Farm Animal Care from their inception in 2003 through 2009. In addition to creating the brand and label for their international food certification program, we worked with them to enhance and maintain their website as their budget allowed. Built custom applications to power their Producers database of products and their News and Press Release databases. The site was edited by well meaning volunteers and others. By 2008 it had become apparent that the site needed some serious work that couldn't be accomplished by volunteers. The website had fallen into disrepair. Not only was it outdated, but had been a victim of too many hands in the pot. Volunteers and others had edited the site over time, and left loose ends and messy code. Links were broken and information had been added in piecemeal fashion over the years creating a confusing online environment. The time had come for a complete website redesign.

We launched a new website design with a much more open feel - using whitespace and a friendly accent font to create almost a "breath of fresh air". The new architechture allowed a much more friendly and intuitive organization of information, letting visitons quickly and easily find the information that they were seeking. Unfortunately the client did not have the time or financial resources to fully revise their text, or create new areas for their audience to explore, but by repurposing the older content and displaying it in a new easier to understand way, the information was given new life.

Like many not-for-profit entities, Humane Farm Animal Care gets a lot done on a shoe string budget, and the website redesign was no exception. Among other things, we split the project into phases for the client for affordability. This means that some of the more dynamic areas of the site will be integrated into the new design at a later date. But the result of the first phase - the launch of the bulk of the website, brought an ease of use and a welcomed change to visitors.

Humane Farm relaunched their website in Spring of 2010 and the site that exists today was created by another firm.

The Derry History Museum in Derry NH is a non-profit who was in need of a website to create interest and bring feet through the door. Derry's rich history is displayed in a homey yet professional manner at the museum and the site strives to bring the atmosphere of the brick and mortar place to the online environment. We shot on location to try to capture the exhibits as the person would experience themselves while there. We added the shots to the site using a flash photo gallery which brings a bit of polish to the experience. To try to engage the audience we added a small quiz on the homepage - based on a polling script to get them guessing and interacting with the site. The site was created for the Museum pro bono as a community service to our hometown.

This new to the industry start up in the financial and banker sector was heating up. The folks at Falco Inc. had a great idea, a great new product and interest was growing fast. We helped them pull a professional face together by creating a logo and professional stationary system, as well as a matching brochure-ware type website. They needed an online environment that would allow potential customers and investors to learn about their new product and easily contact them for further and deeper information. The site acts as an online brochure to entice and intrigue the audience just enough to ask for more. The sites audience is conservative and traditional, and selling a new digital web based solution to them is difficult. Using dark blue, white and dollar bill green the site fits well within the clients industry and feels solid and trustworthy. The site provides a connection to their web based secure environment via an unobtrusive yet easy to find link, and we worked with their applications developer to carry the look and feel of the public site into the private secure areas of the site as well.

Timberland has been a steady client since 2000. We have been lucky enough to work with them on numerous projects in a multitude of divisions and a variety of media from packaging, advertising, and E-marketing to this piece - an interactive Flash press kit / catalog. The project had a tight two phase timeframe, super rush, and not so super rush. to meet the first dates we created the piece as an interactive pdf, and then went back to re-create it in flash for their next phase release. The flash version gave the user some tactile experience, and a pleasant interactive experience, while finding the information they sought. The audience for the piece was the media, and was distributed to them on CD for use at their offices. The goal was to introduce the new product lines to the media, and give them an easy way to request samples for their research. The piece was a very well received and we look forward to the next version to come. Click to View the interactive pdf. This work is Copyright 2007 Timberland.

We worked with the client to establish a list of goals for the project which included the ability for them to maintain the website themselves. Their wish list was broken into phases and the current site is the result of the phase one launch. The site is powered by a content and navigation management system which allows the client to keep the site updated and fresh. We added some homepage components to allow them to highlight important dates and happenings, and added a "Did You Know" feature that the client can change to keep the content fresh. We reorganized the content into more digestible chunks so that audience can more easily find the information they seek. Including very important information on forming and maintaining a conservation commission, RSA's that govern what conservation commissions can and should do, resources, news and a large list of commissions in the state of NH.
