We’ve just put the final touches on a new custom website for Erin Hession Photography. This new website certainly is one-of-a-kind. In the past, we’ve developed websites based entirely on code and graphics. This new website takes our abilities to the next level and allows us to introduce a more rich, animated and interactive product.

Erin came to us needing something that stood out from the rest. She needed not only a new look and feel for her website, but she needed to make an instant impression on her potential clients.

For this new custom website, we utilized a new custom design with animated drop down navigation. We also introduced a flash based slideshow that rotates between photos and customer testimonials. Each page has page transition animation and a full screen background image. In addition, we utilized spectacular image galleries and even chose some awesome music to go along with the individual nature of each gallery (check out the Pets Gallery).

Erin’s work literally speaks for itself and now, so does her website!

Erin had this to say about her new site: “I just have to say that my new website is soooo amazing…it makes me cry…that’s how much I LOVE it!”

Recently we put the finishing touches on our first site for a minitstry. Hellno.me is a new site for Resurrection Outreach in Indianapolis.

The site was built with a WordPress backbone which gives them the ability to add new content. Their site also featured a video CDN powered by Kaltura (a free extensible video platform built for integration with WordPress).

We’ve just finished up the bulk of the new site for Kristie Blankenhorn, a Realtor with the F.C. Tucker Company here in Indianapolis. Kristie came to us wanting to something unique that would showcase the wide variety of homes she sells as well as the diverse array of areas she can serve. For Kristie, we created a unique design that focused on the Carmel Arts and Design District, but showcased community information for the entire surrounding areas, including Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville, Fishers and Indianapolis. In additon to an embedded IDX property search, custom featured property section and testimonials rotator on the home page, we also did some custom development work including a custom mortgage calculator.

I’ve been behind when it comes to upgrading my WordPress blogging platform. In fact, they just released their version 2.5 of their system and I was still on version 2.1.3. So, I made the leap and decided to upgrade.

For those of you who have not upgraded, it’s always a good idea to do so every now and then as the upgrade process is a great way to back up your blog files and database in case something happens down the road. Plus, they add new and exciting features into the newer versions that can easily simplify what you are doing.

The upgrade process was simple and I LOVE the new features. They integrated the "sidebar widgets" plugin into the system and a new plugin update system informing you of any software updates to WP plugins (although this may have already been in previous updates)

Also, the UI is dramatically enhanced. The posting process is a lot simpler with integrated functionality to add photos, video, audio and more to a post. And I am in love with the tagging system.

Here’s a few screenshots:
