Greetings, and welcome.
Feel free to tool around... See anything you like?
Making a Case: 3Cstudio (take a peek under the hood)
what's going on at 3Cstudio...
a
A site that is Clear. Clean. Concise. (3 Cs, anyone?)
3Cstudio seeks to implement these three terms tangibly in all web development by (hopefully) living by this tri-credo. Where can you benefit?
b
Direct integration of Wordpress blog, e-blasts, Twitter, etc. into the site structure... Da Boss said to, "Make it so"... so I did... or shall. Think she'll settle for me promising to do it for clients at least?
c
A... B... C... "C says Kuh, unless it is a soft-C", informs Da Boss.
Contact begins with the letter C. If a, b, c, d, and/or e kick-starts your Creativity, please contact 3Cstudio.
d
3C design objectives: Better accessibility and adherence to web standards, as well as better searchability and being more search-engine-friendly. Oh, and I forgot to add a little usability to the toolbelt...
e
More use of Web 2.0 features (we'll call them "e-tools"):
e-blasts, blogs, photo albums, forums/wikis, collaboration-stations & hubs, comprehensive stats, self-managed e-mail, control-panel hosting, e-commerce, PHP/Javascript, databases...
Case onPoint: Self Inflation Station
innovator of the balloon inflator
Nothin' will frustrate a person more than not being able to find help when help is needed.
Naturally, retailers would then want to give the 'power back to the People' and allow them to do-it-yourself. Buying balloons from a floral department is one such area. Introduce Self Inflation Station to the mix, and you get: happy customers AND happy floral managers!
Case 1: FruitBasket-Flowerland
a hearty kick in the [e]plants...
Most everything about Flowerland CEO Rick Vuyst is punny... but for Rick it's no joking matter when it comes to properly informing people on best practices for care of their lawn and landscape.
The entire Flowerland team takes great care to insure its customers are equipped with the very best info, tools and products -- and now their website is yet another powerful tool in their belts!
Case 2: Frank Speyers
teacher-student painter-professor
Frank Speyers has a great eye for design... so naturally he chose 3Cstudio to help him put together a painting portfolio! :)
OK, so that may be hyperbole... suffice it to say Frank is rather pleased with his custom WordPress install that is now completely D.I.Y. Additionally, his site now will also function as a starting point to introduce his incoming classes at Calvin College to what a
Case 3: Sam Glenn.com
GoPositive!... absolutely.
Sam Glenn, Inc. received a comprehensive makeover for the better.
Sam spends his days motivating and encouraging people to "choose to make their best life ever"... at work, home, and at play (all of which seem to intersect at some point, right!?).
This dynamic speaker/author needed to have his many sites and online materials "collated" -- consider it done. Socially connected? Check. All sorts of other cool features? You betcha.
Case 4: Wordpress site examples
2 site examples. 1 fine CMS.
CMS = content management system:
For the d.i.y.er (do-it-yourselfer), Wordpress offers not only great blogging software, but a complete site package as a login-based website.
A great example of Wordpress has been grUrbanAdventureRace.com, where the site and effective social media usage have been a great asset for this inaugural race offering from Michigan Adventure Racing, LLC. Also, uCircles.org is an effective communication tool for drum circle facilitator Eric Nykamp.
Case 5: You?
your present story vs. version 2.0?
Everyone has a tale to tell... How well it's told is a whole'nuther story. Are you getting your point across to the people who need to hear it the most? And with the most impact?
Get in touch with 3Cstudio, and we'll come alongside to see where your story can advance to its next version.
