Templates
Here is an example of an excellent web template from one of our talented designers. The look that the client was going for was to be innovative, yet clean and user friendly for visitors to their website. We feel this design accomplishes those goals.
We are happy to provide design templates at a clients request, to get them moving in the right direction.
MyTriangleLawyer.com
We were very happy to work with Brian and the team at MyTriangleLawyer. They came to us with a need for a database driven application that would allow them to manage their users and vendors who register for their site. We utilized Ruby-on-Rails to build a scalable database which will aid MyTriangleLawyer in building their business locally with an eye on expansion in the future. We used an existing Content Management System, Typo, as a baseline. We recently wrote an article about Typo and you can find out more here.
From a sales and marketing side, the team at MTL has a great concept and an established team of professionals, so they didn’t need much help in developing their business model. We were able to help consult and educate them on how to integrate ecommerce into their platform, as well as working with them on ways to effectively manage the data they receive through their website to maximize results. Clever Start takes pride in education with all of our clients, so they can use the tools we develop for them to the best of their ability and fully utilize the capabilities of technology.
We are also working on Search Engine Optimization for their site which is always an on-going process.
DrinkSUITE.com
DrinkSUITE was a unique concept straight from the heart of Charlotte. The owners of DrinkSUITE partnered with CleverStart so we could develop the technology, SEO, and marketing plans for the project.
The technology was the first challenge that we tackled, we took a deeper look at a few existing Content Managements Systems and none of them seemed to fit the mold for what we were looking for, nor really seemed robust enough for what we wanted. So we decided that a custom platform should be built using Ruby on Rails, for scalability, since our goal is to scale up and expand across North Carolina rapidly. Ruby-on-Rails was the perfect fit.
In addition to some excellent technology built, we provided this client with a comprehensive marketing plan and advised the founding team on effective solutions to marketing and monetizing strategies for their business. We are proud to say that our team at Clever Start was able to leverage our start up and business knowledge to help not only build excellent technology, but to guide in the development of the business model and strategic planning process.
This is an on-going project that we are involved with on a daily basis.
Eve Haslam (idea for future development)
Sometimes all you need is an idea for a project. For this project we were hired to create a new design that was fresh and modern looking. This is what the client ended up liking a lot and it was our favorite too!
GatewayURP.com (UNCG/A&T Research park)
This project was an enjoyable challenge. Using a lot of CSS, we were able to increase the performance of the website and ensure that pages were being loaded quickly. This was due to the high amount of traffic that the site recieves. Originally the background consisted of more than twenty-five images, using modern digital imaging we were able to reduce this considerably.
