Site Launch: Green Wellness

February 27th, 2016 by Ima Admin

IFIblog_GWL_sm Welcome to Green Wellness, Grand Rapids’ home to holistic oils, tinctures, salves, lotions and supplements containing the highest grade of Cannabidiol (CBD), which comes from the NON-psychotropic cannabis plant known as Hemp.

Owners, Jim & Brandy, wanted to put a website to put their holistic products based within reach of people seeking healthier lifestyles and relief from symptoms of disease. They found many of the sites out there selling similar products were garish and appeared to cater to an entirely different audience than they intended.

For this startup business, the team at the Imagination Factory designed their logo, their business cards and their mobile-responsive ecommerce site.

Site Launch: Horny’s Big Buck Blend

February 5th, 2016 by Ima Admin

IFIblog_HBBB_sm Horny’s Big Buck Blend is a specially formulated blend of all-natural, agricultural grade products and ingredients that is easy for hunters or sports persons to use. It is designed to provide outstanding supplemental nutrition to deer and elk, helping them grow healthier, bigger and heavier antlers.

January 29th, 2016 by Ima Admin

IFIblog_TCS_sm Trinitas Classical School joins with parents to provide the very best in Christian classical education with an approach to education that is distinctive because it is multi-directional. It looks to the past and the present to prepare students for the future.

Trinitas needed an update web presence that would reflect their rich classical environment and yet take advantage of newer web and user technologies for the future. So they took a lesson from history. They looked back to the early days of the web and discovered the Imagination Factory had been there all along developing websites for clients of all sizes and types.

Trinitas put team IFI to work developing a mobile-responsive, content managed structure (CMS) with private student-specific content including newsletters, homework assignments, and event calendar.

January 22nd, 2016 by Ima Admin

IFIblog_PEV_sm This Grand Rapids, Michigan Optometrist & Eyeglass Frame Showroom makes your vision and eye health are their top priority. Their deep experience, the latest technology, the most comprehensive range of products and personalized service combine to provide the very best in eye care.

When it became time to enhance the administrative back-end of their practice AND move out of their canned practice template, they came to the Imagination Factory whose similar deep web experience and understanding of integrating front-end websites with back-end system was important to making this a seamless and easy transition.

We were able to put them into a mobile-responsive, content managed structure (CMS) integrated to their new third-party appointment scheduler and customer management system. During initial testing, the staff AND a few select customers were already able to see how much easier the new site will be to manage and navigate.

Now, you can see them more clearly at PERSONALEYES

Site Launch: One Breath For All

November 20th, 2015 by Ima Admin

IFIblog_1B4A_sm The owners of the private practice, One Breath For All, since 2009 were now ready to expand their marketing efforts and wanted an online method to promote their energy work as well as allow people to register for their spiritual workshops, classes and retreats.

Because they also work with businesses to organize company events and retreats, they began asking their clients about their websites. More than several referred them to the team at Imagination Factory.

We were able to put them into a mobile-responsive, content managed structure (CMS) with an ecommerce component allowing them to ‘sell’ reservations from the site to their events, workshops and retreats. Their events not only are found in their site, but are also automagically published to a third-party event system giving their events even more exposure.

Site Launch: Wheeler Business Machines

October 30th, 2015 by Ima Admin

IFIblog_WBM_sm Following Google’s ‘mobilegeddon’ updates, Wheeler Business Machines, began noticing a fall-off of site traffic and phone calls, despite their continuous SEO efforts.

The site was large, with a lot of good product content, but it was also quite old – predating tablets and smartphones, so it was still an HTML-based site, not mobile responsive with no real ecommerce function.

The Imagination factory re-designed the site into a CMS-based structure and gave them a much easier e-commerce setup which was not only mobile responsive, but easier to search optimize AND manage the site content. Client is much more productive at managing the site, the site is regaining its search ‘juice’, calls AND orders are flowing at a higher rate.

Site Launch: Kentwood Office Chicago

September 18th, 2015 by Ted Bailey

Looking to further distinguish themselves in Chicago’s very competitive market, existing client Kentwood Office Furniture, asked the Imagination Factory to spawn a similar, but different, site for the Chicago market.

It needed to continue the main Kentwood branding, but needed to establish its own unique presence in both that geographic market but in search as well.

And because it was splintering off the main site, it needed to do as little as possible to mess with the existing search positioning garnered over the years. With new great design and judcious use of 301 redirects, we were able to do just that.

Site Launch: CTMAX ERASE

August 16th, 2015 by Ted Bailey

IFIblog_CTMXERASE_sm Long-time client (since 1996) in Connecticut, CTMAX, branched out their services a few years ago to include non-invasive facial aesthetic enhancement/refinement.

Recently, they purchased a new and very advanced, pico-second laser as well as state-of-the-art skin cooling system for their practice. This pico laser/cryo cooler combination is very good at reducing fine lines, treating acne scars and removing blemishes and age spots. Its also extremely good at removing tattoos, even those with difficult colours, more quickly and less painfully than other methods generally in use.

For them it meant the need to announce the capability as there are only three of these lasers in Connecticut and embrace a market not typical from them. For us, this meant another logo and another sister website as a method to further brand and distinguish their services in the area.

Site Launch: The Q Smokehouse

July 31st, 2015 by Ted Bailey

A man with a unique concept and a clear plan, David, came to the Imagination Factory while his new restaurant/smokehouse was still on the drawing board.

The owners of the Q SmokeHouse, asked us for help in designing a new logo and a website that would serve both short term and long-term goals. First, while they were breaking ground and building the restaurant, they wanted the site to generate interest of both future employees and patrons. Then, once operational, the site needed to easily expand to allow them to take online orders.

During site training, one of their newest key chefs, said that seeing the site’s quality and professionalism is what impressed on him that the owners were serious about doing things ‘right’ and helped make the decision to seek them out. We couldn’t agree more.

Sounds neat. Show me more!
