Business Problem

Our colleagues at Digital Phenom had a client, Landon IP, with a website that catered to both English and Japanese speaking markets. The site was being maintained as two separate copies: one in English and one in Japanese. This meant that adding a page to the site actually required adding two pages: one in English and one in Japanese. Landon wanted to add two new forms and over half a dozen pages, and realized that double the labor was too much. They wanted to convert their site to use internationalization and localization.

Digital Phenom turned to us because of Celtic Wolf's ASP.NET expertise.

Solution

We worked with Digital Phenom and their client to assess their requirements and design a solution that gave them the new forms and pages they wanted, with the contents, buttons, graphics and even error messages in both English and Japanese. The language that is displayed is determined by the user's browser settings. If they have selected English as their primary language, they get English pages. If they have selected Japanese, they get that language instead. If their browser is set for some other language, the site defaults to English.

Business Problem

Fairfax Transfer & Storage had a website built with one of those do-it-yourself services. When they signed up with Big Blue Bear Consulting to increase their business via on-line marketing, that do-it-yourself website became a liability. Big Blue Bear needed a way to add content easily, integrate with Google Analytics, push articles to their Facebook page automatically, etc. They turned to us to help.

Solution

We created a new website for them, using the open source content management system Joomla!. They picked a theme that matched their branding, and we customized it for their needs. Very quickly they had a new website with far more functionality than their old one.

Frugal Rooter is a commercial and residential plumbing company in Northern Virginia. They had a website that they wanted to use to generate business, but it was difficult to update and their previous webmaster was slow in responding to requests. To address this, Frugal Rooter contacted Celtic Wolf to get a site that was SEO-compliant (optimized for search engines), easy to update, and featureful.

We created a new site based on Joomla!, the open source content management system. This allowed us to easily integrate Google Analytics and allowed Big Blue Bear Consulting, our SEO partner, to optimize the pages on the site to improve Frugal Rooter's search ranking and attract more people searching for plumbers in Northern Virginia.

Little Treasures Preschool in Los Angeles had an outdated website that didn't show off their facility and services well. We created a new web-site for them using Joomla!, the open source content management system. The site features:

• Multiple pages describing their school, philosophy, programs and staff
• A photo gallery showing off their facility and amenities
• Google Calendar integration, providing separate calendars for meals and activities
• A contact form to protect their e-mail address from spam
• Random testimonials from parents appear in the header
