Today flyte relaunched an updated look and feel for Baker Newman Noyes, a CPA firm with offices in Maine and New Hampshire.

BNN offers a wide variety of services, everything from help with state and local taxes to IT services to Healthcare Management consulting.

The Our People section also got a face lift, by applying a consistent approach to information architecture throughout the bios section. There was a lot of work done by BNN to manage the photography and personal information on this section and throughout the site…Perry St. Louis was our contact at BNN and did a terrific job of corralling all of that data.

The biggest design overhaul was done in the BNN Career Center, with a fresh new palette of colors. One of the biggest goals of the site is recruitment out of college.

The new career center has a big section on college recruiting, as well as an area that gives a voice to current employees who talk about what it’s like to work for BNN. Future plans may include videos of employees that will further engage college students who are interested in accounting careers, but want the quality of life that Maine and New Hampshire offer.

Recently flyte launched a Web site for Fore Solutions, LEED consultants for high performance green buildings. Fore Solutions works with architects, contractors and owners who are incorporating sustainable design and construction practices into their building projects.

Their projects include Educational Buildings such as Arizona State University Life Sciences Building and the Harvard Allston Science Complex, as well as commercial, civic & cultural projects, and LEED for homes.

This was the first of several Web sites we’re developing on the WordPress platform. Although WordPress is most popularly known as a blogging platform, it’s also a easy-to-use Content Management System (CMS).

By employing WP, we were able to create a Web site that could be updated by the client without knowing any HTML. Fore Solutions can edit content on the page, including text and images, as well as add new pages to their portfolio section. Since WP is also a blogging platform, it wouldn’t take much work to activate the blog when they’re ready to add that functionality.

But enough about the geeky, under-the-hood stuff! If you’re looking to make your next building a green building, contact Fore Solutions today.

Sustainable Web Design

It was great a few months back when I got a call from Cynthia Graubart who wrote The One-Armed Cook along with co-author Catherine Fliegel. See, we already had a copy of the book in our own kitchen, and I knew that I wanted to help them build their business.

Cynthia and Catherine already had a Web site for The One-Armed Cook, their cookbook dedicated to helping new (and not-so-new) parents prepare easy, healthy meals. However, it wasn’t performing as well as they wished. (The site…the book rocks!)

They wanted to sell more books, add recipes, and make it easier for the press to contact them. They also wanted to engage their audience more. The previous site wasn’t scalable, and wasn’t especially search engine friendly.

Basing the new look on their previous site, we rebuilt the site to be more scalable, more search engine friendly, and added incentives for site visitors to subscribe to their email newsletter. We also made the site easier to use, grouping audio, video, recipes and other resources in more management, scan-able formats.

Through the revitalized, search engine friendly Web site and email newsletter we hope to extend their brand, sell more books, and help more parents feed their kids healthy, delicious meals! (Next step: I’m going to nag them into blogging!)
