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.

InternacionalRealty.com

The Internacional Realty website was constructed entirely in Flash by request. This allows for the visually appealing transitions and presentation that could not be achieved otherwise. The photos and text are all external elements allowing for fast load times (something Flash websites have never been known for). Gulf WebDev also developed a website template and applied it to each apartment community featured on InternacionalRealty.com.

Patients-First.com

Patients-First.com was built around a WordPress framework. WordPress is a Content Management System that allows the client to update and add content to their site through a simple to use interface. The doctors with Patients First expressed interest in writing blogs about their practice so this was the perfect solution for them.

CommunityConnectOnline.com

Community Connection was a startup community paper that wanted a website to compliment their publication. This site was designed using WordPress as the content management system allowing for different authors to login and contribute articles. The site featured a fully editable calender of events and RSS feeds which allowed users to subscribe and receive notification when the site was updated. Gulf WebDev was also responsible for delivering the cool Community Connect logo.

LobsterSnare.net

LobsterSnare.net had an ugly GoDaddy template website and a strict budget. Gulf WebDev developed a scuba themed background and navbar that instantly transformed their website to better represent the product. We then encoded an old marketing DVD into web optimized video which was used as the centerpiece for the construction of an attention grabbing home page. The result is a great example of what can be done with existing content and a small budget.

Rankmark.com

Rankmark is one of the more popular golf related websites on the internet now averaging 844 visitors a day. They recently celebrated their 10th anniversary and they even have their own wikipedia entry! We are proud to call them a client… and they keep us busy! Gulf WebDev has acted as webmaster for the site since January of 2008. Among many of the accomplishments we have made with Rankmark, we are extremely proud of the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) efforts we have made. We dominate our keywords of golf club test, golf club testing, and golf club reviews. Our message board has really taken off as of late and we are sending out a monthly newsletter to around 6,500 subscribers and achieving phenomenal open and click-through rates.

AllureMedspas.com

Hugh Caraway — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 20:26:33 +0000

The Allure Medspa website was built from scratch by the team at Gulf WebDev. As with all of our sites, the construction was completed with search engine placement in mind. A quick search for “Tampa Medspa” in Google will quickly demonstrate how effective our sites perform in search engines.

TampaMuralArtwork.com

Murals-n-More wanted a website to showcase the work they have have produced through the years as muralists and professional artists. The team at Gulf WebDev delivered a home page with an engaging slide show and a design that consisted entirely of elements taken from actual Murals-n-More artwork. Another key feature is the gallery that easily allows the artists to add photos of their latest pieces. The Murals-n-More website was also designed with Search Engine Placement (SEO) in mind. For best results, Gulf WebDev advised to dump the old murals-n-morellc.com domain for tampamuralartwork.com. As a result, the new Murals-n-more website quickly rose to the top of the rankings for Tampa Muralist.
