Site Launch: Kentwood Office Furniture

June 2nd, 2013 by Ted Bailey

Kentwood OfficeKentwood Office Furniture is the Midwest’s premier specialist in high quality remanufactured, used, and new office furniture. Since 1976, they have been passionate about providing the best selection of affordable, well designed, furniture solutions with an emphasis on outstanding customer service. No longer just in ‘Kentwood’ they have locations in Traverse City, Jackson, Lansing, Detroit, Indianapolis, and Chicago.

Their last site was built before the advent of mobile tablets and the proliferation of smartphones, so they asked the Imagination Factory to make it mobile ready, revamp the ecommerce section to make it easier for online customers to browse online, request quotes and convert those quotes to orders.

Site Launch: Bos Greenhouse

May 27th, 2013 by Ted Bailey

Bos GreenhouseSome things haven’t changed throughout three generations of service. Today, Bos Greenhouse uses the latest planting techniques and the best agricultural science to produce superior seedlings and delectable vegetables. This enables them to deliver high quality products at fair market prices. Though farm practices have changed, their homespun philosophy hasn’t.

What also has changed is their logo AND the milestone of being awarded the ‘Centennial Farm’ designation.

To celebrate, the Imagination Factory was asked to give the site an entire overhaul. Similar to the advance in farming, Bos wanted the new site to be mobile responsive, easy for them to manage, flexible enough for them to add their farm reports, recipes, and other tips, and above all be visible in search engines so more people could see what Bos has to offer.

PTW_BGS_logo_smLocal entrepreneurs had been developing a new product, had named it and had a marketing concept. To bring their ideas to fruition required an identity, so they came to the Imagination Factory to assist them.

Ecommerce: Minor League Baseball

March 5th, 2013 by Ted Bailey

various_ball_logosSo spring has been a bit slow in arriving to the midwest this year, but that hasn’t postponed the minor league ballclubs from their need to prepare for a whole new season of fans.

Sadly, Minor League Baseball Properties has been been flexing its collective muscle and forcing a general homogenization of the web landscape for these uniquely local forms of americana. Fortunately, one area they haven’t been able to take over is the online suite catering ordering menu.

And that’s where the Imagination Factory comes in to bat. We have developed a fairly simple online menu system that accommodates each clubs unique offerings, calculates prices real-time as the fans select items, accounts for their unique tax structures and collects / emails the pertinent order information to the club’s catering team.


Graphic Design: DTE

February 28th, 2013 by Ted Bailey

DTE_MAPDTE needed to communicate its phased construction plans to the affected community. So they came to the Imagination Factory to see if we could take their map and clarify the locations and phases of the intended road closures.

We could…. and provided DTE with a PDF handout, a scaleable version capable of being enlarged to poster size as well as a multi-screen electronic slideshow suitable for a large-screen presentation. Although not requested, our final layouts included enough visual support for anyone in the audience that might suffer color blindness (8-10% males, <1% female).

January 28th, 2013 by Ted Bailey

IFIblog_EHCOur client, Engineered HVAC, relocated its physical operations, re-aligned its vendor relationships, and restructured a bit of its business… all calling for a revamp of its web presence.

So we went through the site and made the necessary changes in order to support these changes and make them more ‘carrier-centric’.

Site Launch: West Michigan Glass Block

December 21st, 2012 by Ted Bailey

IFIblog_wmgb2West Michigan Glass Block (WMGB) is so much more than just a glass block supplier. Unfortunately, their old website didn’t really give that impresssion. In addition to glass blocks, by offering basement egress systems, replacement entry and storm doors and windows, blown-in insulation, repointing and foundation repair, siding and gutters and outdoor decks, WMGB is really your Home Improvement Station.

The Imagination Factory was selected to help WMGB re-focus their overall cyber story, enhance their ecommerce functions (while making it easier for them to manage), and provide them a vehicle to showcase their services and quality projects – all in a mobile compliant structure.
