Nationwide Research Company Launches New Site

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Last week we launched a new web site for Nationwide Research Company (NRC), a source for court documents and archived records.

NRC’s services include document retrieval, on-site searches, corporate research, case monitoring, chapter 11 filings and more. In short, if you need documents, this is your one-stop shop.

NRC wanted to have the ability to add, edit and delete content on their site as needed, so we built the site on WordPress, an open-source blogging/content management system (CMS). Now they can log in and update information as they need to, without having to run everything through some pricey web developer. (Sniff!)

With offices on both the left and right coast, that also helps keep down costs as they don’t need to buy multiple copies of HTML editing software for multiple people; instead any modern browser will allow them to keep the information on their web site fresh…something the search engines (and your customers) love to see.

If you need court documents or chapter 11 filings, be sure to check out Nationwide Research Company. If you need a custom-designed web site on a content management system, we’d love to answer your questions.

Last week flyte launched a WordPress web site for the Goldbelt Heritage Foundation, the 3rd web site we’ve completed for Goldbelt Corporation, all done on WordPress so that the company can update and manage their own web presence.

Visitors to the site can learn more about the Tlinglit language preservation project, learn about upcoming cultural events, and even see and hear examples of the Tlinglit language being spoken.

Previous work for Goldbelt included the Goldbelt Tours web site and the Goldbelt Corporate site.

Artist Designed Ribbon Belts from Belted Cow

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Flyte recently launched a newly designed website for Belted Cow, a Maine company selling ribbon belts inspired and created by artists.

Visitors to the site can shop for a wide variety of belts for adults or children. One of my favorite belts is The History of Streaking. (No, the irony is not lost on me.) There are plenty of gift ideas, especially if your loved one has a love of nautical-themed clothing or likes to keep his pants up with an homage to the Tour de France.

Pets aren’t forgotten, as many of the cool designs have been appropriated for collars and leashes.

The site offers an easy-to-use shopping cart and is powered by a hybrid of WordPress and flyte’s own custom e-commerce programming.

If you’ve been searching for a fun, whimsical way of keeping your pants from falling down–especially when everything ends up on YouTube these days–be sure to check out Belted Cow.

Custom Billiard Tables from Hatch Billiards

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

Last week we launched a new web site for Hatch Billiards, maker of custom pool tables and billiards furniture.

I had the opportunity to visit Howard Hatch in his workshop and see some of his work in progress. He does some amazing things with wood and other materials. If you’re looking for the perfect addition to your man cave, Howard’s got you covered from custom pool tables to extremely cool billiards furniture. If you’re an interior decorator or an architect, a Hatch Billiards pool table may be just what the client’s room needs.

We originally were planning on porting Howard’s previous web design to WordPress so that he could update all of his content without knowing any HTML. However, while working on the site Howard got some great new photos and tweaked his logo, so it was more of a redesign and a WordPress port.

If you’ve been looking for the perfect centerpiece to your game room, be sure to check out Hatch Billiards.

If you’d like to learn more about updating your web site to a WordPress powered CMS (content management system) please contact flyte today.

Maine Biotechnology Services Celebrates 20 Years with a Makeover

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Maine Biotechnology Services has been providing antibody products, development and production for over 20 years. Recently, they decided it was time for a web site makeover that would better reflect all of their new services.

If you’ve been searching for monoclonal & polyclonal antibodies–and really, who hasn’t?–you’ll be able to take advantage of MBS’s antibody products search. You can search by keyword or browse antibodies by category, such as human hormones, parasitic or tumor cancer markers.

Flyte put the new site on WordPress so MBS could manage the content inhouse, keeping down maintenance costs. In addition, we repurposed the blog software for a What’s New section that updates the home page automatically.

If you’re looking for Sheep Polyclonal Antibody to Bromodeoxyuridine-5 (BrdU)-HRP Conjugated, be sure to check out Maine Biotechnology Services. If you’re looking for a professional web site that you can update and maintain inhouse, please contact flyte.

WordPress Conversions: Beauty is More Than Skin Deep

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

360FuelCard, providers of fleet fuel cards that benefit the environment, liked the look of their Web site.

What they didn’t like is the lack of control they had. Every update had to be run through an outside developer, hindering their ability to quickly add content. It also became a cost issue: adding new pages was expensive, making them thing twice before adding new content to the site.

WordPress gave them that control, and is helping them keep a cap on expenses. We took their current design and ported it over to WordPress, the popular open-source blogging and content management system platform. We also added a blog, so they would have a powerful communication tool they could use to keep customers in the loop and engage new prospects.

They can now update any page, day or night, uploading new photos or embedding videos of their products in action. And they can do it inhouse without having to pay an outside provider.

If you need a fuel card that’s accepted at nearly 100% of fuel stations across the US and contributes to a cleaner environment with every fill-up, be sure to check out 360FuelCard.

If you need to gain control of your Web site, and reign in update fees, talk to flyte about converting your site to a content management system.

R3 Builders Rebuilds on WordPress FTW (for the win)

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

R3 Builders had a problem. R3 Builders is a well-respected construction company in California with a portfolio that includes restaurants, retail and commercial spaces.

Unfortunately, prospects couldn’t get to their site without Google or Firefox throwing up warnings about malicious code on their site. When their Web developers couldn’t seem to clean out the code and get the problem fixed, flyte stepped in.

We took the original designs of the site and rebuild it in WordPress, the popular open-source CMS/blogging platform. We relaunched the Web site, and then using Google Web master tools and other resources, resubmitted the site and got the blacklisting removed. Now people looking for a quality construction company in California will be able to find and visit R3 Builders.

Visitors can access R3′s construction portfolio, read about its commitment to sustainability and learn about their services from pre-construction through post-construction.

R3 is now able to concentrate on what they do best: building some of the best restaurant, retail and commercial buildings in California. Next up: increase the online visibility of R3 through SEO and other Web marketing campaigns.

New Designs for Affordable Websites from flyte

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Starting at just under $2K, our ProSites have always been a good choice for startups or companies that want to take some of their “Interweb funds” and put it towards some search engine optimization, blogging or email marketing.

This past week we introduced three new designs, Textures, Bright Lights and World Travel, as well as retiring some of our older designs.

Besides the great price point, all of these ProSites are built on WordPress, a simple-to-use content management system (CMS). That means you can add, edit, and delete content, pages, upload images, and embed videos to your heart’s content (or to your business’s needs.)

These sites have been built to be flexible enough to fit almost any kind of business, and you can change the navigation to fit your offerings, whether they’re services or products. They work great for non-profits, too.

But wait, there’s more!

Through the month of February (that’s 2010), we’re going to include a free blog with every ProSite. For search engine optimization, establishing your credibility, and as the hub of your social media activity, there’s no better tool than a business blog, and with the new ProSites, they’re integrated into your website. They’re the perfect compliment to an effective Web presence.

Be sure to check out the ProSites at our Web site, or just reach out now and contact flyte today.
