We helped agency partner ELEVEN recreate the website of Business Impact Group (BIG) as a hybrid HTML/Flash website with a database to support dynamic content.
"We were in search of a web development partner that could assist us,” said Mary Grams, director of account services at ELEVEN. “We would provide creative design and input, but we needed a strong web development team to work closely with the creative and AE team to incorporate a strong and unique website in a timely manner.”
BIG wanted a clean website and had the makings for it with the design elements created by ELEVEN. BIG’s old site was created entirely in Flash – essentially a one-pager which was not easily indexed by search engines and difficult to maintain. ELEVEN created fresh design elements in Photoshop and sent us design mockups. We translated/recreated ELEVEN’s Photoshop images to HTML.
We used CSS and JavaScript to make a dynamic drop-down, scroll-over menu. We also helped add a Flash video for the launch/intro to web visitors, resolving some preloading issues through a pre-buffering application that made for a smooth video launch. A contact page uses Google Maps.
The new site is easy to understand and maneuver -- very clear, clean, crisp, and efficient. They now have a new unique website that allows them the ability to work with the new administrative tools on their site. They have the option to add press releases, job opportunities, and updates on their site, which is something they didn't have. They love the new look, feel, and functionality of the site, the ability to update the site on their own.
