Dakota Farms wanted to build a consumer-facing website with information about the families on the ranches that produce their meat products, along with recipe and cooking information for bison and beef. We built them a custom-themed site using the Drupal content management system, allowing the company employees to easily update and manage the website pages and content.
Chaput Rootmaster is a plumbing, heating and cooling company that has been doing business in Denver for 65 years. Their previous website had become quite out of date, and they approached us to give the site a top-to-bottom redesign and redevelopment. We built them a new site with a custom visual design on top of a content management system, and generous use of jQuery functionality.
Steamers Coffeehouse and Wine Bar is a business in Arvada, Colorado, that employs people with developmental disabilities. They had outgrown their previous website, so we worked with them to redesign and rebuild their website from the ground up. The website's color scheme and visual design is based off of the interior design of their shop, and the website incorporates features such as a Flickr RSS-powered Flash slideshow and embedded Google Maps.
Cavendish Scott, Inc. is a Denver-based ISO management system consulting, auditing and training organization. For years they had been using an outdated website, and they hired us to redo it. We did a top-to-bottom redesign of the website, including an overhaul of the site's information architecture, a visual redesign and a complete re-coding, as well as adding in new features such as auto-populating web forms, external API integration and staff blogs.
HTML-Assets.com is a side project we've been working on here at Chris Strom, LLC. As we've been working on various web design and development projects, we've been building up a small library of cut-and-paste HTML code snippets to simplify the development process. HTML-Assets.com is where we've decided to share these snippets with the world. Come check it out!
In addition to our regular work, we also enjoy being able to donate some of our time and efforts to charities and non-profits that we support. One of these is Denver Language Friends, an organization in Centennial, Colorado, that seeks to build bridges of friendship and understanding between people of different cultures and backgrounds through language learning. If you're in the Centennial area, come join in one of their free weekly classes.
We designed the interface for several iPhone application prototypes for InVisM, Inc. Pictured above is a prototype e-learning application for the US Air Force. We also designed the interface for other application prototypes for other private domestic and international clients, as can be seen here and here.
Craig Parrott is a Lutheran author, speaker and teacher in Denver. His website, CaptivatingRock.com was extremely out of date and in strong need of a redesign. We not only gave the website a visual and architectural redesign, but we also built it on our custom content management system, so that Craig would be able to administer the site himself in the future.
The New Jersey district of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, in preparation for their 2009 district convention, hired us to redo their website. We designed and built a custom site for them using the SilverStripe content management system, while integrating many of their existing online tools such as Picasa web galleries and Google Calendars.
Xeolux, Inc. is a company based in San Francisco that specializes in intellectual property management consulting. They contracted us to produce a website for them. As they are a small company, they only needed minimal site content. Because the site content only required minimal bandwidth, we could afford to use more extensive image replacement techniques on much of the headline text to create more eye-catching typographic effects.
