Paradigm Solutions Group, a utah engineering and information technology recruiting firm, came to Red Olive, a utah website design firm, with multiple goals in mind.
First, they needed a professional logo designed, one that really depicted who they were as a firm. The Red Olive Creative team was able to deliver several logos that Paradigm loved, but there was one in particular that stuck out above the rest.
Second, Paradigm needed a stunning website. Knowing the goal in mind, the Red Olive team delivered much of the same results. In addition to the logo and website, Paradigm also had the Red Olive team design their letterhead, envelopes, and business cards to match their brand.
Red Olive’s creative and web design team is embarking on the task of redesigning S & S Steel’s site to add some flair, Flash and slick navigation to make a standout performance with their potential construction buyers.
S & S Steel Fabrication fabricates steel structures for a variety of projects that cover a swath of different industries. The aim of the project is to create a site where the potential client can get straight answers regarding work quality and specification without being blown over with site noise. The cool factor will still be evident, as is all sites produced at the Olive.
Our friends at S & S are Utah locals too so it will be an extra pleasure to help the local business momentum.
A big herbal resource for resellers and direct consumers alike, Oxygen Nutritional Company, found Red Olive and liked what we had to offer designwise. Like Red Olive, Oxygen is based in Salt Lake Utah. Web Design and some graphic design additions are some of the main elements in the proposed agreement.
Oxygen Nutritional needs a site that makes better inroads to navigate easily with and to have a means to place orders in a virtual shopping cart instead of their old mainstay of order by phone.
Sounds good, maybe we can get a few kickbacks of their energy supplement aptly named“Awakenings” — something to add a little kick to those drowsy early morning starts. Hmm maybe Korean Ginseng and coffee produce a lethal mix. I kid.
We are more than thrilled to see what we can have for them in the coming weeks.
CuddleBag, a beanbag chair and pillow company, would like Red Olive to tighten their site look up a bit more. Ideally it will involve some aesthetic touches and better usability that make wandering window shoppers into full fledged buyers.
CuddleBag created their niche within the home theater furniture market, finding a nice spot on the living room floor of the Ecommerce industry, yet at the same time finding space in showrooms around Utah and beyond.
Red Olive graphic designers shouldn’t find this too difficult and we welcome CuddleBag into our repertoire of groovy niche businesses who keep the landscape unique and fresh, and er… cuddly. Happy selling CuddleBag, we hope this new face will make it even easier for you. Stay tuned for a posting of the final product.
Red Olive Design is happy to take on a site designing task with a big force in the Opthalmology community — Retina Associates of Utah. They found us and would like to build a new site that not only presents a clean and easy service description, but a information hub for patients, family and those affected by disorders of the retina.
So with that said, we should produce a cool site that can emphasis the high level of care they put out, have downloadable PDF forms patients can print from home, make displayable maps to indicate building locations, and have cool Bios on the five MDs profiling their personality and work. Whew! It’s quite a list but hey, we will do all to please the medical community.
Retina Associates of Utah are the biggest team of Retina specific Ophthalmologists in the Mountain West. We are happy that they sought us out to make their virtual face as flawless as their practice.
Ski Town Restaurants, soon to be found at www.skitownrestaurants.com, sought out Red Olive to help them both create and design a site from scratch. Ski Town came to the Olive with a novel service approach to aid hungry online vacationers find ski town restaurants across the U.S. — starting with Utah’s posh Park City and Deer Valley area.
The site will have the usability to allow Ski Town to upload restaurant profiles, actual menu lists with star ratings submitted by readers. Red Olive will spend a good deal of the time constructing a data base system and content managing interface to make Ski Town’s site updates easy.
This will all be coupled with the artistic styling coming from our graphic designers who have many Utah influences to inspire them — quite easy being that we are a local Utah Graphic Design firm just minutes away from the greatest snow and ski outlets on earth (we brag — see the car plates).
The site project is a doosey with a lot of work cut out for our crew. Until next blog installment, we’ll keep you in the Ski Town Restaurants project update loop.
RedOlive has worked hard to become the print design agency of record for KUED over the last three years. We have worked on several successful projects in the past and were stoked to be asked to return for 2008 to design program collateral. This year KUED honored us with loads of television sponsorship spots. If you are an avid KUED viewer you no doubt have seen us pop up a few times over the past couple months, and we apologize right now for how lame they are. Yes,  we are working on a more creative video piece for future ads so give us a break.
Alright there is no debate includes are the best way to code a nav right? Well, what if someone wants to indicate to the use what page they’re on? Â Or as I will call it the active page. Just include a script to the top of each page comparing strings with the window location, and if its true; make it look like the active page. I’m horrible with words but hopefully this is making sense. Now I’ll let the code speak:Â
var contact = RegExp("contact");
if(contact.test(window.location) == true)
{
$('home').addClass('active');
}
Nothing to complex- Just comparing our variable string of contact and comparing it with the window location. If there is a match then you attach an “.active” class to it. I know its nothing big; but a simple trick helps every now and again.
