Web Wednesday – April 25, 2012
Posted on Apr 25, 2012 by Stephanie Yeager in Web Design, Web Wednesdays
Web Wednesdays – each Wednesday we will feature a website that we’ve come across while in our process of searching for inspiration, the latest trends, or learning about anything and everything we can get our hands on that interests us.
Hey recent grads! In the age where jobs have become harder and harder to find, a new start up has emerged that will recommend job positions for you based on your skills and talents. Path.to is a new type of social networking, that will find compatible jobs available in your field and based on where you are located. Once you receive the recommendations, you can go ahead and start setting up those interviews. But take note the more your page is complete, the more accurate the recommendations are, so be as thorough about your work experience and skills as you can be. It’s pretty easy to fill out your profile page too, especially if you are an avid social network user. You can connect to Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter; it will pull your work history and other personal information that you want included and import it to your profile page. This will make your time way more productive.
The recommended jobs are based on compatability, but the list will continue to evolve based on your preferences and developing talent. So as you continue to update your profile and social network accounts, watch the job recommendations fly in. Good Luck!

This week I have a fun little website, which will be interesting to see where it progresses. Let me introduce you to Sweat for a Cause, a new social network that uses your physical capabilities as a tool to provide funds for non-profit groups.
Based out of Brookline, MA, Sweat for a Cause allows users to raise money for their favorite non-profits by participating in online fitness challenges. Each user creates a profile page that shows your current fitness challenge and who you are fundraising for. It will also show past challenges that you’ve participated in and whether or not you’ve met the end goal. Now these challenges can be pretty simple or extensive depending on how fit you are, so you can choose a challenge that suits your physical capabilities. Participation does involve a $5 donation to the benefiting cause, but hey it’s for a good cause. Once the challenge is selected and the donation is made, its time to work out. Each challenge last’s a week, so make sure you stay on top of it and update your progress on the groups leader board. Invite your friends and see who can make it out on top.
So if you’re looking to give back to the world in some small way, this is the way to go. Keep in mind that Sweat for a Cause is currently in BETA, so you do have to request an invitation to join the site.
2011, A Year in Development, The Law Firms
Posted on Dec 29, 2011 by Dennis Driscoll in News, Web Design
2011 brought a great bounty to us, clients with law firms! Before we knew it, we had one after another calling us to get new websites designed. I will keep this post short, as there is quite a bit to check out.
Below are four law firms who opted for a redesign this year, and as you can see, each one has its own personality and feel.
The law offices of Michael Hooker, Esq.
The law offices of Michael Greenberg
2011, A Year in Development, ESCO
Posted on Dec 28, 2011 by Dennis Driscoll in News, Web Design
Lucky Number 13 on our list of launches is ESCO!
ESCO enjoys the reputation across the industry as the leader in high-quality energy efficiency lighting and the committed service, competitive pricing and know-how that comes along with it. To say the least, they have been around a while and needed a facelift. ESCO hired DIF Design to rebrand the company, re-designing all of their materials, website and logo.
We went at this project like all others, market research. Through careful study and target market analysis we arrived at the new look and implimented it on their website.
2011, A Year in Development, ICT Center & GoBerry
Posted on Dec 27, 2011 by Dennis Driscoll in News, Web Design
Welcome back, I hope everyone had a great start to the Holidays! Well in accordance with our end of year website highlights, and taking into account the Monday holiday, we are bringing you two launch announcements today.
The National Center for Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) is recognized nationally as a leader for its expertise in developing and distributing comprehensive ICT content supporting business and industry’s efforts to educate and train the ICT workforce.
Gordon F. Snyder, Executive Director of ICT, has been working with us for years. This is the second time Gordon has come to us to redesign his website, which we believe should be done every two to three years. Gordon thought that in order to get the word out on their website, social media was the key. We re-designed the ICT website to bring twitter, Facebook, blog posts and YouTube directly to the home page for an information rich environment. Visitors can get an excellent idea of what is happening at ICT just from the homepage.
GoBerry, our second installment in today’s post, serves frozen dessert with fresh fruit and berries. GoBerry’s frozen yogurt is made with the freshest ingredients and is produced without the use of dairy containing antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones.
Alex and Molly Feinstein wanted a simple website that represented a product that highlighted the freshness and its taste. We kept it simple, images of fresh fruit and berries, and threw in some chocolate…who doesn’t like at least something there.
