In conjunction with Key Creatives we launched a fancy new web site for local staffing company Mid Oregon Personnel last week. The site boasts a brand new identity package created by Key Creatives, along with an elegant design that matches their collateral and print materials. The site is running using our custom Haiku CMS solution which allows the folks at Mid Oregon Personnel to post new jobs...

Today I launched a new website for a local non-profit organization: Bend's Big Fat Tour. The BBFT is an annual mountain biking event that takes place here in Central Oregon that takes bikers on some of the more sceneic/fun rides we have around Bend. Be sure to check out the new site, and if you are an avid biker, signup for this great event....

The new site has information about upcoming weed pull events across Oregon, as well as educational...

The new site is aptly named The Longboard Trader... as its sole purpose is to provide a free venue for skaters to buy/sell used longboard skateboards, and related equipment (wheels, trucks, decks etc). The site utilizes the existing Longboard store design, but offers a very simple form for users to post new items to the...

The board is made by a popular manufacturer from Canada called Landyachtz. Magically I started to see at least 12 google searches hitting my site a day for 'Chinook Longboard'. Sometimes you have to spend months and $ on a link campaign, and...
