Building the Game Day Experience: Coastal Carolina
We are really excited to announce the launch of a new interactive portal for Coastal Carolina University’s Athletic Department to help promote football ticket sales. They shared with us this press release they sent out earlier this week about the site.
You can check out the site at www.CoastalTix.com.
Progressive Enhancements with CSS3
CSS3 is great! The themers and designers here at centresource all love the improvements that are now available to (most) modern browsers. The best part of CSS3 is that the changes are subtle, and a site can still look fantastic without using any of the new styles.
The idea of “progressive enhancement” is to get a site looking the way to want in all of the current browsers, then add some enhancements that most of those browsers can understand. It’s kind of like a bonus for the users of the more progressive browsers. Since they are savvy enough to know what browsers are on top, they can reap the rewards of the polish that CSS3 allows for a website.
Centresource reports from the 2010 HOW Conference
This week, three members of our design team headed to 2010 HOW Design Conference in Denver, Colorado. Jason Jones, Jason O’Brien and Jared Scheel all turned in video reports to share their experience and some of the things that they’ve learned. Take a look!
The one-page website
Here in the creative room at centresource, we’ve been noticing a new trend popping up with more and more frequency in the world of web design: the one-page website. For a creative, it’s an example of yet another way that designers and developers are figuring out how to break down the walls of traditional websites. And we love it.
CentreSource sets future trends | Smashing Magazine
When Jason O’Brien created http://BountyBev.com, he did it as a labor of love & it shows his passion for beautiful design & layout. Well, it seems that Smashing Magazine also agrees - they feature his design as one of the design trends of 2010 (Design For Delight). Check it out!
Sorry, your card has been declined
Most people would not be very excited to receive an e-mail that says “Payment Declined.” Did I forget to pay a bill? Is my credit card over the limit? Did my rent check get double posted? What on earth is going on? For me, this was actually welcome news. It means that I had found the only way to get past a critical flaw in a Web application.
Bottoms up! CentreSource launches new site for Yazoo Brewing Co.
This past Friday, Yazoo Brewing Company held their grand opening for their new Taproom in Downtown Nashville. To coincide with the opening, we also launched their new Web site. The site gives the visitor an overview of the brewery and invites them to discover the many lines of beer that Yazoo has to offer. The visitor can also buy merchandise as well as find out the latest news from their blog and Twitter accounts.
Check out their site at www.yazoobrew.com.
CentreSource and HookUP Media produce March for California’s Future
We recently had the pleasure of working with HookUP Media to help produce the Web site for “March for California’s Future,” an online companion to an event going on right now in the Golden State. Organizers say that the 250 mile march, sponsored by the California Federation of Teachers and its diverse allies from labor, the faith community, and other civic supporters, is designed to draw attention to the underlying causes of the state’s woes as well as gather signatures for a majority budget initiative.
Hope for Haiti: CentreSource launches new site for Trinity/HOPE
Devastation. Tragedy. Hopeless. Those were the words used to describe the recent earthquakes that struck the island of Haiti on January 12 near Port-au-Prince. To a nation that that was already struggling with poverty and trying to meet the basic needs of its people, the earthquake magnified the crisis for the world to see. Like many companies in Nashville, CentreSource matched its employees’ donations to give $500 to the UNICEF organization to help with relief efforts.
“That was Awesome!” Understanding the Key Components of Experience Design
When was the last time you had a really enjoyable experience with a product or service? Do you remember how it made you feel? Do you remember what about it made you feel that way? What about your experience stuck out most in your mind? If you are like me, some of these questions can be fairly difficult to answer, while others may be incredibly obvious. On top of this, the answers may seem clearer in one case than they do in another. Welcome to the world of experience design. This post is primarily taken from the first part of a presentation I made a BarCamp Nashville in 2009, entitled “Whoa! Creating Engaging User Experiences“.
