1708 Gallery
1708 Gallery contacted us recently to redesign and rejuvenate their existing website. 1708 wanted their new website to draw more attention to the gallery’s various exhibitions and events, and they also wanted the navigational elements and user interfaces to be much easier to use than their previous website.
We, along with the client, decided to use a neutral grayscale “color” scheme, which would draw the viewer’s eye to the more colorful exhibition and event photos placed throughout the site. Additionally, we replaced the site’s old Flash-based navigation with a more standard menu bar with dropdown links.
The client also needed a way to update the content on their new site. To meet this requirement, we built a custom content management system that enables 1708 Gallery’s staff to add and update information about upcoming exhibitions, events, and press releases.
1708 Gallery came to us with one additional requirement: they wanted to reduce the ongoing cost of maintaining their website. Prior to the launch of 1708′s new website, our client had 3 separate websites (and 3 separate bills to pay). We helped them by combining the features of all 3 previous sites into one complete online destination, thus saving them frustration, time, and most importantly, money.

Virginia Supportive Housing

Working with a bright and cheerful layout provided to us by Elevation, we were able to build an updated and completely redesigned website for Virginia Supportive Housing (VSH). VSH is a not-for-profit organization who’s mission is to provide permanent supportive housing to homeless single adults and families. VSH’s new website will make it easier to learn more about their causes, and it was very exciting for us to be part of the process.
There was a need for VSH’s staff to update the “Events” and “Articles” sections of the website. A simple, easy-to-use content management system was built to enable the client to edit the website’s content, without having to rely on a web developer to make those changes for them.
The staff at Virginia Supportive Housing also have access to a WordPress-powered blog, which is fully incorporated into the existing structure of the new website’s design and layout.
