Cobblers Children

There is an old saying that the Cobblers children have no shoes. I guess the same is true in business today. We know from experience because after 3 years with the same site we are proud to launch a new corporate Web presence. The new site is a culmination of over 4 months of work by our best people at Blue Water Media and we are definitely excited about the final result.

In an effort to practice what we preach, the team worked to integrate a number of cutting edge Web design, programming technologies and implementation practices into the new Blue Water site. Some of the more notable features include:

• A content management system that makes updating page text and image content a snap – even for those of us here without a ton of programming knowledge
• Databases that house portfolio content
• The use of cutting edge CSS
• Section 508 compliance throughout the Web site so that the pages are accessible to visitors with disabilities
• A stepped up marketing effort that will have a profound on the sites placement in major search engines like Google and Yahoo
• WAP enabled pages so Wi-Fi users can view the site on handheld devices

Over the past eight years of being in the Web development business we have learned that scalability is paramount with sites of this nature. We built our new site utilizing the same open source technology (such as PHP and MySQL) that we recommend for our clients. The approach affords the flexibility to easily deploy new technology and site features as we grow and as technology evolves.

Thanks to all who helped out with the project and we look forward to helping your organization with its next Web based initiative in the near future.

Stay tuned for more tips and comments from the Blue Water Media staff over the next weeks and months right here on the Blue H2O Blog!

Best regards,

Curt A. Schwab
President, Blue Water Media
