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.

A website for shopping, sales and events…Oh My!

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Studio66 has just completed and launched a power-house of a website. This site rocks flash, php, wordpress and jquery to manage a member database, employment opportunities, sales, event calendar, and about 20 other pages – all controlled through a content management system.

Did we lose you? Sorry. Just know that it’s big and user friendly, complete with form and function.

The details:
• Users can enjoy a slideshow of the beautifully built complex on the home page and peruse an alpha or categorized list of stores then click through for their detailed hours, description and location in the complex.
• Individual stores have login access to add events and sales to the site, even post upcoming employment opportunities
• Complete Control: the administrator has approval over all sales and events, plus access to edit any content on any page with a web-based content management system.

Click here to check out the site for yourself. In the need for a website you have complete control over? Call us today to see how we can help!

Dinner is Served!

caffestandStudio66 just completed a tasty project that included stylized food photography of several menu items for Caffe Italia in Davis.

We coordinated with the kitchen and owner, doing a quick shoot for each plate. Unlike most food photography you’ve seen, this food is REAL and edible (and was eaten by the photographer and assistant after and during the shoot…yum!)

So, the next time you sit down to the familiar butcher-paper-covered table tops of Caffe Italia, be sure to flip through the tantalizing table stand of appetizers, drinks, deserts and more, and order something on the wild side — I recommend the Texas Toothpicks!
