Site Launch: National Personnel Associates

December 28th, 2014 by Ted Bailey

IFIblog_NPAWX_smLong-time client (since 2006), NPA WorldWide, sat across the conference table from us and said, “We help employers find unicorns and we need another more public site to tell that story… to employers and to the unicorns (that legendary perfect employee) they seek.”

The Imagination Factory had already helped them develop much of their web site support structure for their member recruiters, so where better to go but the folks that ‘build unicorns (those mythical perfect web sites)’? We upgraded the old site, put a common back-end administration structure for both and brought the new site design online.

Site Launch: Meyer Music

August 22nd, 2014 by Ted Bailey

IFIblog_MMI_smMeyer Music, after watching web designers come and go for several years, came to the Imagination Factory, back in 2005, to have their first web site built. Over the years there have been a variety of changes and enhancements to benefit their customers, but no major re-design…

Until today!

Meyer Music has revamped and enhanced its internal operations, so it made sense to also give the website an overall facelift and make it mobile responsive. The redesign would require also integrating the public facing web site to a secure portal where Meyer Music clients will not only rent musical instruments (as with the old site), but also access their accounts and pay online.

This latter portion of the project meant not only getting the various computers to play together nicely and securely, but to make the aesthetics match as closely as possible across different computers, operating systems, and applications.

Site Launch: Century Hardware

August 15th, 2014 by Ted Bailey

IFIblog_CHDWR_smWith a tradeshow looming, Century Hardware, unhappy with the limitations of their existing site, came to the Imagination Factory for help. Their list of wants was extensive.

The site needed to be mobile responsive and retina display friendly; it needed to have integrated ecommerce with multi-level wholesale/retail pricing as well as the ability to accept POs and generate invoices and accept credit card payments online; it needed to be able to restrict quantities for select products and provide control over the online customers (who can buy wholesale, at what rate, who can use POs, etc).

The site needed to allow users to filter the products against numerous criteria (including finish, function, style, size, etc.) and it needed to allow the user to save their own wishlist of items for later use; it also was to include a ‘find a dealer’ function and a interactive flip-book (both also mobile friendly); and oh yeah… it eventually needs to be multi-lingual ready (with chinese and spanish targeted languages).

Quite a tall order, but you may visit Century’s new site and see it in action.


Site Launch: Micro Visions

May 30th, 2014 by Ted Bailey

MicrovisionsFor over 20 years Micro Visions has been providing IT managed services in Grand Rapids and throughout West Michigan. Their IT consulting experts always look out for your best interests and will translate all “tech speak” into business language you can understand.

So, when MVI went looking for someone to revamp their web presence, they wanted someone with similar experience levels (IFI has been designing websites since 1995), understood their business (IFI not only designs, but maintains its own rack of servers), and could talk to them in ‘tech’ and business languages.

When they found the Imagination Factory, they stopped looking and even started recommending us to some of their clients.

Site Launch: Lux-Evo

May 27th, 2014 by Ted Bailey

Lux-EvoA Michigan-based LED Lighting company that routinely delivers 85% energy savings on projects of any scale across the U.S. had a need to re-design their website into something mobile responsive, better looking, easier to use AND easier for them to maintain before the next tradeshow (Lightfair International in Vegas).

Just like their LED lighting, they came to the Imagination Factory for some bright ideas of how to revamp their existing material as well as organize some of their new product offerings in time for the show.
