The Tom Daves Website was Launched this week by Studio66! The client wanted to be able to make simple content changes themselves and add blogging capabilities to their site. We recommended the use of WordPress Content Management System and Blogging Software because this open-source program is very flexible with design and easy to use. Tom Daves Agency also wanted there site to me more user friendy. Studio66 achieved this by creating a clean and clear navigation menu; by moving the main navigation to the top of the page and creating a clean sub-navigation bar directly under. This type of navigation leaves no room for confusion for the user because the eye has been trained to read top to bottom and left to right.

The client wanted to increase the new and repeat visitors to their site. One way that Studio66 made the Tom Daves website more accessible was by instilling SEO (search engine optimization) strategies. This was achieved by creating effective keywords and unique titles for each page. The goal is when a user is searching for “Sacramento Real Estate” or “Homes In Roseville”, the Tom Daves site will show up in their search.

Tom Daves also wanted his new site to include a Blog, to create a resource to the community and encourage return visits. His blogs contain topics with information anywhere from how to get the best deal on a home, to increasing your homes appeal. Studio66 created a clean, well programmed, and flexible design, increasing the professionalism and user friendly characteristics of the Tom Daves site.

Businesses Giving Back

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

We have again partnered with HSP Painting Company and several other businesses, in the HSP Charity Alliance. This annual event is the collaboration of several businesses combining money, time, resources and labor to award a Reno/Sparks Charity $10,000 in painting and remodeling services.

Charities are nominated by the Reno/Sparks Chamber of Commerce, finalists are selected who demonstrate the most need for these services and then the public is asked to help by going online to vote at HSPpainting.com/vote. Polls close on May 25th and the charity with the most community support will be announced on May 27th.

This years charity finalists are: Children’s Cabinet, Northern Nevada HOPE, RSVP and STEP2.

This event would not be possible without the hard work of HSP Painting and fellow sponsors Sherwin Williams, A&H Insurance, Bj’s Restaurant/Brewhouse, Clear Channel, Dave Pearce Construction, Dick’s Fuller Paints, Steve Bus and Truckee Meadow Construction.

It has been a joy creating and designing all the branding elements for the HSP Charity Alliance. We also worked with HSP Painting on how best to promote and market the event; resulting in record website hits for the company. In addition to the programming of the charity online poll and email marketing blasts.

It is vital now more than ever, to rally together, support and promote other businesses and non-profit organizations. We are proud to be able to contribute to the HSP Charity Alliance this year.
