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.

Creative Friday! Today Studio66 took a break from our computers, projects and took a moment to explore our creativity. During lunch, six items were placed on the table and we had 10 minutes to explore every possibility in which those items could function. There was no limit placed on our ideas; they could be as practical or outrageous as we could imagine. The items consisted of: a stapler, clay snake, bell, lint roller, paper folder/roller, and a remote. Here were some of our ideas:
This month’s bizarre holiday: National Puzzle Day!
On the sixth of October we observe a holiday that celebrates getting your silly on…Mad Hatter Day!
Created in 1955 as a wallpaper cleaner, Play-Doh, the versitle-bendable-plyable substance quickly took on a new playful form. School teachers everywhere were requesting containers for their classrooms, finding it easier for younger fingers to mold than traditional sculpting clay. Although a happy accident for the creators, they quickly caught on and began adding bright colors to market the product as a child’s toy. The rest, is history!
