Z'Tejas - The Story
When The James Agency approached us to work on the development of the upcoming Z'Tejas site / online rebrand - we couldn't pass up the offer. Our goal was to add a new experience to this website that would not only fit with the design, but would also provide the user with a feeling of being in the establishment.
For us to provide this feeling and setting, our development team gave the Z'Tejas website many interactive and intelligent technologies. For instance, when a user visits ZTejas.com, the menu displays breakfast, lunch, or dinner depending on the actual time of day. This information is gathered by taking the users IP address to the Z'Tejas website. Not only is this a practical solution but it is a fun piece of technology that is appreciated by users. Each feature has been integrated flawlessly within ZTejas.com. Check them out for yourself.
Eco Aluminum Pallets - The Story
Eco Aluminum Pallets is setting out to revolutionize a product that has been used for years; the common shipping pallet. Considering what Taste of Ink did for business cards and printing, Eco approached us and we felt like this relationship would be a perfect fit for both of us. We started first by analyzing the current shipping pallet market and discovered a couple viable positions that Eco Aluminum Pallets could take in their marketing efforts.
After carefully dissecting the routes we could venture in, we chose to focus on the environmental and financial benefits that Eco Aluminum Pallets offers its clients and customers. We developed a state-of-the-art website around these features (and their products of course) to help corporate executives make educated decisions on their shipping solutions.
In addition, we provided them with a multitude of promotional campaigns (ThePalletTruth.org and their own pallet calculator) to further spread the message, along with a video written, produced, and edited by our web team.
Smyle - The Story
We were requested by the owners of Smyle to design and develop their upcoming website. It is important to note that the entirety of this website was built for easy administration updates. These updates include adding products to the eCommerce platform, posting blog articles, and changing any or all of the content on the website. Each product image was added to the website by Smyle's administration.
SmyleItHappens.com was not only a fun site to work on but when we finished - we couldn't stop playing with our creation. It is a fully interactive eCommerce (shopping) platform packed with a blog, animated graphics, and smooth flowing transitions. When you view the Smyle website, make sure to look for the animated clouds in the background. It is a slight and subtle attribute that really increases Smyle's online brand presence. We absolutely loved the final product and hope that users really "smile" when they are navigating through it.
To get started on a custom web project, it is helpful to understand the many custom website features that our agency provides. Every website we create contains 1 or more features. Review how we applied features to each specific website by visiting our custom design gallery.
Portfolio Gallery An integrated section of the website normally used to highlight features, awards, a personal or company portfolio, services, and/or past accomplished work.
Video Player Video players can be incorporated into your site to give it a more personal touch. This feature can be used for testimonials, product showcasing, and/or simply to introduce yourself. With the onset of HTML 5, the majority of video players can be built to be viewed accross both desktop and mobile platforms.
AJAX AJAX provides entertaining elements that provide subtle actions and smooth animations. This creates a fun and interactive experience for the user. After viewing sites with AJAX, you will notice that the pages and animations load almost instantly. AJAX is used for displaying hidden content or images without having to reload or affect the current display/feel for the user.
Blog Platform A blog platform provides a resource for the website admin to continually post and regularly update news feeds, images, video, and/or content within the website blog. This increases both search engine rankings, and brand affinity amongst your users and fans.
Flash Flash/Flex is a technology used to create fluid, rich-media internet applications. Even though many of the same effects can be acheived using JQuery (and other HTML languages), Flash is still the industry standard in creating games, videos, and complex animations.
Responsive If you've ever seen a website that looks different on a mobile phone than it does on a desktop, chances are it's built to be responsive. Responsive web design is an emerging technique that uses "media queries" to determine what type of device you are viewing the website on. The media query then tells your internet browser to utilize the appropriate stylesheet to render the website layout, and thus makes your browsing experience perfect in any atmosphere.
Social Media Social media provides websites with social interaction and close connections to fans, customers, friends, and online users. It is a great way to increase brand awareness.
Lightbox Lightbox provides a closer visual to an image that can be opened and closed with a single click. When viewing a product, item, or photograph online - it is important for the customer to fully view the image.
Content Scripting Content scripting involves our team researching and then scripting website content to fit the emotion, style, and feel required for the company/organization. Research includes the company's industry, history and culture of the marketplace, and of course we determine what is working and not working based off of popular trends and industry consistency.
Promo Campaign Sometimes we create external advertising campaigns that are developed or constructed outside of a main or original company website. Promo campaigns are most widely used to promote and highlight a specific service, product or message, or for product launches and introductions.
eCommerce Creating an eCommerce website is a great way to accept payments, and to buy and sell products online. Each storefront is capable of handling an unlimited amount of products, and can also be set up with numerous features including coupon codes, product variations, and many others.
