Client - Mark David
Company - Boogie Bodies Best
Site - boogiebodiesbest.com

Tasks - This cool concept company needed a slick new site to promote their services. They needed a site that was easy to maintain, looked cool and fun, had streaming video, and was built for good search engine results.

Boogie Bodies Best is an interactive service that travels around to malls, carnivals, public or private events and more getting the crowds involved in a fun and wild time singing their favorite songs. Karaoke kicked up a couple hundred notches. Green screen technology puts your head onto the bodies of the people in music video;s. Guaranteed for a wild time!

The  was built using WordPress for ease of use in updating, and good features for search engines. It was designed in a funky TV set style to make it in and enjoyable, and totally unique. Cool site for a cool company.

Client - Willy Cruz
Company - Islandboys Band
Site - islandboysband.com

Tasks - DUDE! Surfs up!

The last site version of the Islandboys band site was a nice looking site, with LOTS of info and options. Good site, but Will wanted something fresh and new. Something more visualkly stunning, yet stripped down and simple. To the point. All Flash. All Fun.

New site is all in Flash with animated surfers and steel drummers with audio, vidoe and photo gallery. The audio streams in the background for each [page, which is quick loading even with lots of media on it. Sample songs and video’s stream from external files so there is minimal wait to watcht the band play. Photo gallery on the Charity page has a slick smooth look and feel to it. And keeping with modern times, there is social bookmarking enabled on every page.

Cool vibe on this wicked cool site. Love the music Will!

Client - Grindstone Cottage Owners Association (GCOA)
Site - grindstonepark.ca

Tasks - To help promote the launch of the new Grindstone Park web site the GCOA needed some business cards designed to be distributed to cottage owners and bo0ard members at thier AGM. It needed to be colourful, yet simple. Enough impact to make people look at the card, but not too muddled with information. Just the facts.

The card was designed with a computer monitor displaying the new web site design on the screen, with a simple not and the web site url.

Nice looking card that does exactly what it needed to do.

Wow, been awhile since my last post. Lots to say, just have not had the time to say it.

Really been busy getting projects done, and working on other less thrilling tasks.

Aside from client projects I had to move all my sites and some clients site to my new hosting company (Hosting Creativity). Previous host (Future Hosting)  had a severe server failure (AGAIN!) and took my sites down for 3.5 days. When it came back online, none of the sites worked right. This was only 1 of many issues I had with them (5 pages of support tickets). They have good customer service, but the servers are totally unreliable.

Wish I did not renew for a full year only 2 months ago because they do not give refunds. Anyone want unreliable hosting? I will give it to you for $2 a month. Cheap, but you get what you pay for. If you want real hosting that is reliable, and well priced, check out my new hosting company, Hosting Creativity.

After I finally decided to switch, it took me  a week to get it all set up on the new server, and since then, all is running nice.

In other news:

Financial times are tough on everyone, so I am going to make some new payment terms to make getting great web design even more affordable.

1. 2% 15, Net 30. - Pay your quote in full within 15 days, and reduce amount by 2%. Or full amount within 30 days.
2. Barter - No cash needed. Make me an offer of something I can use of equal value. Goods or services. If it is something I need or can use, we will exchange service. Good as cash. Not everything will be accepted, but can’t hurt to offer. Especially good for local businesses.

I will update agin on the weekend to post about some of the new client sites just recently launched for Marty, Dale, George and others.
