The decision to revamp the Salt Lake Valley Habitat for Humanity was long overdue, so they approached the top design firms in Utah requesting help. Red Olive answered the call and donated the entire project development costs to the Nonprofit. Besides a complete redesign, some of the new website features include multiple managed calendars, fully content managed pages, a dynamic events system, and donations.
Through the work of Habitat, thousands of low-income families have found new hope in the form of affordable housing. Churches, community groups, and others have joined together to tackle a significant social problem, decent living for all.
Habitat for Humanity later invited Red Olive Design to sponsor the annual golf tournament at the Salt Lake Country Club which was a great opportunity for our team to get out and meet other business leaders in Utah, and have a little fun doing it. Red Olive was blessed by the opportunity to serve those in its community and we’re excited to see it finally go live. Check out the new digs here: http://www.habitatsaltlake.com

There is a school of thought that externally referencing Google for your js library helps lower load times and is the preferred method of inclusion. If the visitor has frequented another website calling the same file, it would be cached in the browser and forgo the 50-60kb download. While this is true, have you considered the risk of doing so? What if the unthinkable happens and Google has a hiccup. Well today was one of those what ifkind of days for Google, the googleapi servers (“http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js “) became unresponsive and hence so did some of our older applications. Interestingly enough, we had such a debate internally a while back and deduced that we would no longer reference externally hosted libraries for just that reason, thank god for meetings.
Moral of the story being, a savings of 60KB is not worth your application failing.
We know google owns the search market, but we wanted to find out just how much they own for ourselves. We took a random sample of 30 or so sites we are running analytics on in various industries and the outcome was a little more google heavy than anticipated.

Mark Eaton, a 7ft 4in NBA legend in Utah, is best known for his 12 year NBA career with the Utah Jazz. Perhaps lesser known, did you know that he also owns and operates two award wining local restaurants, The Tuscany and Francks. From 1994-2005 he was the chairman of the Mark Eaton Standing Tall for Youth Organization. For eight seasons he hosted Jazz Tonight on KJZZ-TVand Mark Eaton Outdoors, as well as SportsHealth Today, an internationally syndicated radio show.
Mark is also a business and motivational speaker who shares with organizations and audiences nationwide how he went from a 7′4″ twenty-one year old mechanic who couldn’t play basketball to a twelve year career as an NBA All Star. He reveals the secrets that skyrocketed him to fame as the Two-Time Defensive Player of the Year, enabled him to break the NBA record for the most blocked shots in a single season and be selected to play in the 1989 All-Star Game
Mark stopped by our office after a spot on K-Talk radio, also a Red Olive client, to see how we could help. His current motivational speaking website, www.7ft4.com , needed a little help. While Red Olive will be addressing the usabilty concerns and making the website more effective at converting leads, our primary focus will be on re-programing the entire site to be content managed and standards compliant. When finished Mark will be able to update his schedule, page content, and review leads from anywhere.
The Salt Lake Country Club was the site for the June 22nd 2009 annual Habitat for Humanity Golf Tournament. As an official sponsor Red Olive was allowed four spots and sponsored a hole. We felt horribly guilty for leaving the rest of the team at the office to go participate in a public relations function, but it’s. It was a gorgeous day with temps in the 70s, couldn’t ask for better. Brad Hoen and Justin Wilde, our resident golf pros landed us square in the middle of the score board while Myself and Vince Stinson kept our humility in check.
