Site Launch: MyDataFlo.com

We’ve expanded our workload with Dataflo Consulting recently, starting with a new product identity design for Bird Platform which we published a while back, and minor updates to other product identities.

Last week, we launched the new and improved website at http://www.mydataflo.com/. Dataflo’s core business is in data collection, and over the past few years, they have expanded into cloud computing and salesforce.com application design and enhanced their product offerings in the supply chain and healthcare vertical markets.

The new website brings their core focus to the top of the presentation layer and introduces a revised site architecture centered around their vertical market solutions. The site had fallen in to disrepair; and while it was still generating leads, it was no longer representative of DataFlo as a company. Our redesign took elements from their business model, brought them to the forefront, and established a look and feel representative of distributed, or cloud-based, technologies.

MyDataFlo.com takes advantage of our managed hosting as well as being built upon our CMS. In addition to giving their content editors the ability to manage the site from any web browsers, we also architected an SEO-freindly URL structure to give additional exposure to their content.

GW Custom Cabinets

What do you do when you have a tradeshow two weeks away and need a new web presence? You call Corporate 3 Design. GW Custom Cabinets approached us about a rush project, and we happily obliged. We had a couple ideas brewing as we talked over creative direction and with a library of gallery images we were off and running. Our easy-to-use Content Management System made content deployment a snap. With our CMS, we are able to deploy the management tools independent of the front-end layout; allowing for content population in a wireframe environment in parallel with the layout and design process.

Once we reached approval, it was a matter of applying CSS/XHTML to the wireframe and sending it out for approval to launch.

The result, a clean, modern style that doesn’t stand in the way of GW’s beautiful cabinetry. We think you’ll agree:

Omaha Women for Change

We’ve had so many new sites launched recently – many of which are using our new Content Management System (CMS) – that we’ve gotten a bit behind in publishing.

On April 16, the Omaha community saw the launch of Omaha Women for Change, a new community-based organization which brought together 100 women from throughout the Omaha area, all of whom reflect unique perspectives and insights into the challenges confronting metro-area women. Small-group discussions identified a broad list of issues that now serve as the starting point for a comprehensive community study. The study will evaluate and validate the issues, associated causes, potential solutions and availability of current services for women in the Omaha area.

Their new website, Omaha Women For Change, will serve as the hub of their activities moving forward. The initial site is built upon our CMS framework, allowing content management by a variety of people. We’ve also built an extensive platform for managing their social media interactions straight from the site management tools.

The layout/design of the site was a bit of diversion from our usual fare, and we are quite happy with the way it turned out.

MethodistHospitalFoundation.org (Phase 1)

Corporate 3 Design has completed the first phase of a two-part launch for Methodist Hospital Foundation. Built upon our GenX2 Content Management System, Corporate 3 Design completely redesigned and developed www.methodisthospitalfoundation.org. The first phase was to construct a new layout and design, integrate with our GenX2 CMS, and migrate content from their previous static site. The second phase, currently in progress, will include additional content development, an enhanced donation section, and a modular registration application for their events.

One of our current development trends has been the use of CSS Sprites, With Methodist Hospital Foundation, all of the primary graphic elements are site are called from one image file. In addition to the benefits of file management and organization, the use of CSS sprites also helps to reduce the bandwidth profile of the site, an image file loaded once, and in cached use throughout the duration of a user’s visit to the site. Below is the sprite image from the site as an example of how Corporate 3 Design is using sprites.

The New Corporate3Design.com

On Friday, we launched the revised version of Corporate3Design.com, our corporate web presence. The new site features a redesigned look and feel, integrating with our social media presences, and improved navigation to sub-sections within the site.

But the core feature behind the new site is something you can’t see. We’ve migrated the site to our GenX2 CMS, our content management system. GenX2 CMS is scalable module-based content management system we’ve spent the last year building which you’ll be hearing more about soon.

We are also tying together our Social Media activities. On the new site, you can follow our Twitter stream, or join us on Facebook.

WordPress Updates to 2.8

Bloggers, WordPress 2.8 was released today. As usual, it is recommended that you upgrade your blog as soon as possible. While you are at it, blog updates always make a great time to archive and backup your blog files and database, especially if you do not maintain a regular backup schedule.

If you are using an outdated version of WordPress, there are many changes under the hood including a faster admin interface, security updates and over 790 bug fixes. If you aren’t familiar with the underlying system of WordPress or have been neglecting your WordPress-based blog, give Corporate 3 Design a call. We can bring your site up to speed, as well as provide you with a backup of your existing files including your database (an item often neglected) for $150.
