Latest Project: The Flexcraft Co.

The Flexcraft Co. in Asbury Park, New Jersey, manufactures plastic products for a wide range of industries, including medical, science, industrial, novelty and more. Flexcraft contacted us because they needed a revamp of their current website. They were unhappy with the design and process and wanted something higher quality and more flexible to reflect their manufacuring business. We revamped the site, added new features, and lots of fun, dynamic content. Flexcraft also has an online store that we’re in the process of customizing to match the new design (will be available very soon).

This was a fun website to work on because every page has a little something extra. The homepage has a mixture of dynamic content, including two flash apps and a jquery content slider. The first flash app is a rotating carousel, which I’ve never done before so that was pretty cool. The jquery slider is a simple panel slider that displays several different “panels” of information. Jquery is so great for so many reasons. It allows for dynamic content, often with animated transitions, but without sacrificing SEO. In fact, a panel slider or similar script actually adds to SEO because you can add more XHTML content to the page! But I digress…

Ben Smith, who I worked with to develop this site, is more than a pleasure to work with. I’m positive that Flexcraft shows the same courtesy and professionalism in every business endevour, so if you have the need for custom or stock plastic products, don’t hesitate to drop them a line at www.flexcraft.com.

Latest Project: The Josiah Fund

Completed in world record time, The Josiah Fund officially launched today.

The Josiah Fund is a non-profit organization/project headed by Derek and Renee Loux, and aims to create a healthy and restorative living environment for 30 adopted children with special needs. The Loux’s are amazing people, having already adoped 8 children in addition to their two girls. Just looking at all of their smiling faces is heart-warming and you can see immediately the difference they’ve made in their childrens’ lives.

On to the specs: This is a relatively simple valid CSS / XHTML website with a flash slideshow and detailed SEO (still in development at time of publication).
