Dick Proenneke videos, Alone in the Wilderness and Alaska Silence and Solitude

  Bob Swerer Productions produces and sells videos on the Internet. They wanted a simple website that advertised their products and showed their customers how to order them. They didn't want to take orders online, instead this website directs customers to call their 800 number and talk to an operator in person.
Their website has grown over the years to add more videos and a book and we have been expanding the website to advertise the new products. We have also been promoting their products on Amazon and eBay. We keep their listings up to date, handle questions from customers and process orders before sending them on to Bob Swerer Productions. This way Bob can make sales on Amazon and eBay without a lot of extra work.
 
  The Rocky Mountain Artists are local painters that create fine art note cards from their original art work. We created a simple on-line store that expanded their market from the local area to the entire United States. Their web site is very simple and concentrates on their goal of selling fine art note cards. We created an on-line database that the artists use to control their store through private web page access.  
Rocky Mountain Artists - an on-line store web site using simple HTML pages controlled by an on-line database, designed by Fort Collins Web Works LLC
Rocky Mountain Artists
 
  The artists can easily enable or disable specific cards if they are out of stock, or even an entire artist's inventory if they plan to be unavailable for a short time. The store uses PayPal to automatically collect credit card payments and deposit them in the artists' bank accounts. After PayPal verifies payment, PayPal submits the order to the Rocky Mountain Artists' on-line database which notifies the artist that they have an order to process. The artists get the order information from the database and update the order status as the order is processed. Even customers have limited access to the database so they can check on the status of their orders. This combination of an on-line database and a simple web site can be an attractive way to start an on-line business quickly and economically.  
  Felice' Bridal - a business card type web site designed using FlashMX technology by Fort Collins Web Works LLC  

The Felicé Bridal Salon provides elegant bridal gowns to brides in the Rocky Mountain region, from New Mexico to North Dakota. They needed an economical way to tell brides in this large area who they are, where they are, which gowns they carry, and to bring brides into their Fort Collins Store.

  We designed a more elegant web site to promote an elegant image for the salon. We used FLASH to implement a pop-up navigation bar and give more control over the web site appearance in a wide range of browsers. The openness of the web pages dramatically emphasizes their gowns. We will continue updating their web site as new bridal gowns become available.  
Ranch Partners LLC is a ranch real estate management group. They need their website to attract new members that will invest in their ranch real estate projects. We created a simple, business-like layout and added a few images to show off some of their ranch properties. We made some of the images cycle like banner ads.

The cycling images allow a page to download quickly without loading all the images that will eventually be displayed on the page. We also added small pop-up windows that explain some of their products like "Fractional Ownerships". These windows allow customers to delve into details without losing their place in the main website. Ranch Partners also needed a way to gather information from customers, so we added a simple form that customers can fill out. When they click the submit button the data is sent directly to Ranch Partners. We also worked with Ranch Partners to optimize their website for the Google and Yahoo search engines. This is becoming very important as more and more businesses are uploading websites, and Internet competition increases.
 
 
Tour Play - a business card type web site implemented in FLASH technology by Fort Collins Web Works LLC.
www.TourPlayGolf.com
 

Tour Play designs and installs artificial turf lawns and synthetic putting greens. They wanted a web site to show off their high quality artificial turf, their putting green accessories, information about the staff, a few of their completed projects and provide a way for prospective customers to contact them by email.

 
  We implemented Tour Play's web site using FLASH technology because they wanted a simple introductory animation, a few sound effects, high quality images and special image rollover effects.  
 
Stone Relief - a simple HTML business card web site that provides an order form for mailing orders to the web site owner because he can't take orders over the internet but still wants the exposure
Stone Relief
Neil Miller is a sculptor. He wanted a web site that would give more exposure to his work. He doesn't have internet access yet, so he decided to take orders only through postal mail, and not to sell his artwork on the web. We designed the web site to show off his sculptures based on Egyptian, Mayan and Aztec art, and to fill in an order form including the desired sculptures and all charges including the total cost of the order. When the customer finishes browsing the web site, the order form guides them through the process of ordering through postal mail. When Neil gets internet access we will modify his web site to take orders over the internet also.
 
 
Marcy is a local artist who had an existing web site that was her own personal online gallery. We updated her web site to give it a more consistent appearance and make it easier to use by rearranging images, adding a simple navigation bar, and choosing a style for text, titles, images, and page layouts. We also updated information and added more paintings to her web site.  
Art By Marcy - another simple HTML business card type web site
www.ArtByMarcy.com
We used both digital files and scanned slides for her images, and worked with Marcy to get the images just right, since these images are the essence of the web site. Together we adjusted image colors where photographing and scanning had changed them, and made the tradeoff between image quality and download time. We plan to continue updating her web site as Marcy wants to add more paintings.
 
 
ReadWriteConnect.com - a simple HTML informational web site and on-line store
www.ReadWriteConnect.com
  The Read-Write Connection provides teachers with valuable reading and writing strategies and resources. We created a web site that provides information about their training options and products. Initially the web site was used only to encourage business through their normal channels by offering information, order forms, and instructions that can be used to order materials or register for training through the mail or over the phone. Later we added on-line sales capability that enabled customers to sign up for training classes and purchase materials through the web site. We are continually updating the web site in response to changing business needs, emphasizing new products and training sessions as they become available.
