Global Sport Connection – New LIVE website!

Congratulations to Global Sport Connection as they begin to bring their official work and their new website to the world. This site will continue to develop as their enrolled athletes begin to work with the group securing enrollment at Colleges and Universities in the USA. This site has a lot of premium functionality including membership, mobile responsiveness, custom graphics, and much much more. We were also able to create some beautiful business cards, giant trade-show graphics and awesome social media integrations and imagery as well. Look to see this site develop in the coming weeks and months too.

Website Before & After for The Guilford Land Conservation Trust

It has been three and 1/2 years since we created The Guilford Land Conservation Trust site. Over the weekend we gave them a make-over!

The objective was to update the look, make the design responsive to viewing from mobile devices and to also add a secure (HTTPS) connection when completing the on-line donation or membership forms. There are still a few additions to make…

Please contact us if you want to get a new website or if you want to update your logo, web/print graphics or social media graphics.

Here are a couple of screenshots but please visit the site if you want to see it on you phone/tablet/big screen → http://guilfordlandtrust.org

WORDPRESS WEBSITE OWNER’S CHECKLIST – Get the download!

After the Taking Care of Business Show today I remembered a check list that I often use for keeping track of client’s important site details. What is even more amazing… I found it!

I realized today after chatting with Judy, Bob Carmela & Roseann that EVERYONE should keep these details on file. This is confidential information that should be securely recorded in 3 locations. For example: A hard copy, a digital copy and a version saved or backed up on a back up hard drive. It should be updated whenever it is necessary. If your Web Editor is suddenly unavailable or you have a disaster of some kind these documents will be needed so that the lines of communication can be established with your customers and community as needed. When clients come to us looking for a new and improved site it is very helpful if they know their Host and URL details at the very least. Here is the downloadable PDF: WORDPRESS WEBSITE OWNER’S CHECKLIST , please have your current web designer complete this form for your records so that when the time comes for you or your staff to access your web site, you will be in complete control!
Maybe I should create one for Social media next? …tune in next week. Next week we are talking about social media – Let’s go Google+ Call us with your questions! You will be able to see my see my Guest Posts at FYI Business Consulting & Outsource Services.

Some Fun Racing Designs & Logos for 2013

Check out the graphic for The Bash 2013 10K trail race! The race directer always selects sport performance shirts and he keeps the logo smallish on the front. No sponsor logos on the T’s either. Very cool! It is a very challenging 10K race in Westwoods CT – a race and a running group very close to my heart! Go there now and sign up for the race… www.MrBimble.com

Here is a little preview of a version of my submission for Vermont 100… it is a contest so shhhhh! They usually use a lot of colors on their shirts and this logo is special for the 25th running of the epic event. I love this event and I even base my car purchase on it so that I can camp here, crew for my friends, see the horses, stay up all night, eat at the Vermont stores and just enjoy the vibe for an entire weekend. So fingers are crossed, but if my design is not selected I know it will still be a really fun time and a very special cause. Oh – did I mention the winning design has the option for a free entry into the race… 100 miles in under 30 hours – I wish? What?

One more to post here: This mother nature/tree design is from The Bluff 50K trail race 2012… seemed to be a popular design. Shirts, glass Pitchers and Pints were all included in the swag! The bright red shirts looked great with this imagery. Every year we include a detail of the red and white ribbons used to mark the course. The logo with the bird was from 2012 – it was featured on Navy performance racing shirts in white ink and was also created in a format for the finisher prizes that were metals. Awesome race with an outstanding RD and community, ok, I admit I am a bit biased but it is true!

We’ve got some new square business cards…

It’s a new year, we are developing a new website so, what the heck… new business cards too. I am creating business cards for clients all of the time here.

Check out an example of Global Sport Connection’s traditional shaped new cards (wait until you see the website!) and below see the studio’s new square cards. Custom business cards should be easy to read and yet engaging.
