A-B Tests - Which Color Combo Do You Like

We would like your help.  A client is unsure of the color combination they would like on a new department-centered website.  Their organization has a standard color guide for all print and online material.  But, they may deviate since they are a 'stand-alone' department.  This has lead to the following:

• Example A: In this image you see the site with a new set of primary colors, orange and green.  These are the colors that will represent the department.
• Example B: This image uses the standard colors of 'gold' and green (note, the green is a darker shade of green). The gold and green are the university's colors.

Please compare the two and let us know which you prefer.  Please feel free to add comments about why you've made your choice. (Click images for larger view).

Some Nice Text Messages from Clients

Recently, a marketing guru (who does some consulting for us occasionally) contacted us to create a new website for his business.  And, of course, I said, "yes!"

The site is live, but I am still making additions and tweaks.  And last week I got some nice text messages from Prof. Weber... it's always nice to hear from clients when they like the work I'm doing!

After returning from a short vacation, Prof. Weber saw the site after a week's worth of changes.  This response after he reviewed the site certainly made me smile!  (Yes, the text came through in the middle of the night... many of my client's know, I don't sleep).

Then, a little later that day - after the sun came up and I had made a few requested changes, I got this text!

Best he's ever seen?? Well, okay :-)

The site is based on the WordPress framework with a custom built theme.  It includes integration of the following plugins - some created by me just for this site, some open-source and customized, and some off-the-shelf:

• Appointment Calendar (customized)
• Captcha (customized)
• FITS Round-About Slider (created for client)
• Google Analyticator (off-the-shelf)
• Landing Pages (customized)
• Ninja Forms (off-the-shelf)
• Super Socializer (off-the-shelf)

The theme I created is responsive - works on desktop, tablet, and smartphones.  You can visit the site here.

And from another client:

This is for another WordPress site.  I struggled quite a bit creating and customizing the child theme for this site.  The parent theme the client chose did not follow WordPress standards and was, at times, frustrating to work with.  But, it had some really nice effect and we wanted to use it.  After getting a text like this... the struggle was worth it!

The site includes the WooCommerce shop plugin and a custom sidebar plugin I created.

This site is still a work in progress.  So, much of it has "under construction" messages and the shopping area is filled with demo (fake) product listing.  But, the effects are working and the images and layout customization is complete.  You can visit this 'work-in-progress' here.


If your are looking for a new website or need your current site overhauled, please use this form to contact us for more info - consultations and quotes/estimates are always free! If you have a good idea of what you want, you can use this form to start the quote process now.  If you'd like, you can also comment below.  Your contact info will not be displayed in the comments.

Neat Tricks with Google Maps

I use Google Maps a lot - both the desktop version and the mobile version (on Android phones/tables).  Although most people only use it to get from point A to point B, it can do so much more.  It's really a pretty amazing application.

I might even call myself a 'Maps power user.'  But I found this list of 26 Google Maps tricks on the Entrepreneur magazine website that made me feel like just a novice.  While I know about and use many of these tricks, at lease half were new to me.  And some of them are just down-right cool!

Checkout the whole list here: https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/294190

If there are any Google Maps tricks you use that are not listed here, please tell me about them in the comments.  I'm always interested in find new ways to use Google's awesome array of applications.
