RAB Foundation Repair

The RAB Foundation Repair website gave Gulf WebDev an excellent opportunity to deliver a customized website with “bells and whistles”. RAB Foundation Repair wanted to be able to educate visitors to their website on the different methods of foundation repair without overwhelming them with pages of boring text. Gulf WebDev was able to accomplish this task using our capability to shoot and deliver web video as well as custom create complex Flash animations.

Gulf WebDev spent a few days “on site” to film RAB Foundation Repair performing a compaction grouting job. We then edited the footage, added a voice over, and then optimized the video for the web. The final product may be seen on the compaction grouting page of their website.

We also created five custom flash animations demonstrating the use of:

Finally, Gulf WebDev was charged with coming up with a new design for the RAB Foundation Repair website that moved them away from the generic construction theme that they had. The idea was to come up with a new design that would convey the nature of their business the second the site loaded. Using Web 2.0 design principals, Gulf WebDev created a new website design using custom photography and a cracked cement motif. We then animated the RAB Foundation Repair logo and added a Flash slide show to the home page so that visitors to the site will immediately know that this is a website for a company specializing in foundation repair.

After visiting their multi-million dollar facility in Brooksville, Florida, it was obvious that Alan’s Roofing, Inc. needed a design for their website that differentiated them from the “good ole boy and a truck” operations.

MyFloridaTitleInsurance.com

Hugh Caraway — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:51:10 +0000

The new Florida Abstract and Title, LLC website was custom designed on the Wordpress framework. Wordpress acts as a content management system that allows Florida Abstract and Title, LLC to login and make changes or add content to their website as needed. The website uses classic Web 2.0 design elements such as central layout, strong colors, large icons, big text, and gradiants. This allows for the website to present a large amount of information but retain a simplistic look. With Search Engine Optimization in mind, the myfloridatitleinsurance.com domain name was chosen because it contains the keywords the company is targeting in the search engines.

Search Engines Will Soon Include Twitter

Hugh Caraway — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:20:38 +0000

Twitter has reached agreements with both Bing and Google to make all tweets searchable. The fact that this content will now be indexed is a huge deal for Twitter and will surely translate into growth for the service. Obviously you can read user’s tweets on Twitter. Now however, people will be reading tweets in Google and Bing. This will be a big step forward in terms of Twitter usability.

Any brand that doesn’t have some sort of Twitter strategy for 2010 should seriously consider making the jump now.

It is also notable that Bing beat Google to the punch on this one. Even though it was only by a matter of days, this shows that Microsoft is pushing Google in the innovation race. As the two companies constantly try and one-up each other, we the user stand to benefit greatly.

The Lyons Law Group, of New Port Richey, wanted a new website that focused on the “Foreclosure Defense” segment of their practice.

The name ForeclosureDefenseAtty.com was chosen for the new site because it got the targeted keywords into the domain for maximum juice in the search engines. Gulf WebDev, LLC was then tasked with coming up with a design that invited users in. Resisting the urge to go with a marble courthouse motiff, an earthy green and brown were chosen.

Century21Professional

Century 21 Professional Reality is one of the top Realtor groups in New Port Richey and therefore they wanted a website that conveyed this. From a web design standpoint, they wanted a Florida theme without the lime green and pink flamingos. Another requirement was the ability to write blogs about the local Real Estate market to help establish the company’s expertise. The owner, Shirley Pheasant, is an exceptional networker and wanted the new website to be able to automatically feed newly added content to the various social networking sites like Twitter and LinkedIn.

Gulf WebDev built the new Century 21 Professional Realty website around the WordPress content management system and then set it up to interface with all the relevant Social Media websites. When a new Real Estate blog is added to the website, the blog title and description are simultaneously broadcast on Twitter, LinkedIn, and FaceBook. As for the new design, Gulf WebDev built a Florida theme from scratch that incorporated the colors found in the Century 21 logo. We then picked some original New Port Richey photography from the Gulf WebDev library and added it to the site to achieve the local connection. The final product may be seen by visiting www.century21professional.com.

Upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 and Feed the Hungry

Hugh Caraway — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 16:51:06 +0000

Through the month of September, Microsoft will donate the equivalent of eight meals to Feeding America for every download of Windows Internet Explorer 8. Now for the best part… Microsoft will double that donation if you are upgrading from the dreaded, decade-old, Internet Explorer 6!

Here is how it works. If you are using IE7 or IE6, head on over to Microsoft’s Browser for the Better website and click on the green button that says “Download Internet Explorer 8 for free”. Microsoft will then donate to Feeding America’s network of 206 local food banks. Please note that upgrading from Microsoft.com does not count. Only complete downloads from the Browser for the Better website will qualify.

This is a win-win! A campaign to stamp out both IE6 (the arch nemesis of web designers everywhere) and hunger must be applauded and therefore Gulf WebDev wholeheartedly supports the cause. Help us help you and pass this on to your friends through Twitter, Facebook, and all other forms of social media that you may be using. Internet Explorer 8 is a great product and there has never been a better time to upgrade.
