Website coming soon!
Challenge: Lo Web Presence
Increase Internet exposure — and brick-and-mortar business — for an independent service and repair shop.

Brix Fine Dining & WineBar
www.brixflagstaff.com
Challenge: Growing Pains
A home-grown website that had served its purpose, but which didn’t capture the warm, fine-dining atmosphere of one of Flagstaff’s premier food-and-drink establishments.
Solution: Brix Online, Part Deux
A new look, a new feel, and quite a few new tricks.
What’s Next: Brick by Brick
The soon-to-be-revamped Brix website is currently under development and scheduled to launch in December of 2009.

www.criollolatinkitchen.com
Challenge: New Restaurant, New Website
A restaurant still under development — not yet opened, currently under construction — that nevertheless needed a Website ASAP.
Solution: Simple. Stylish. Web Design that Works.™
A minimalist, clean, and contemporary design with an integrated blog, enabling owner and staff to document the restaurant’s construction and opening.
What’s Next: Criollo … It’s What’s for Dinner

TeamMastermind
www.team-mastermind.com
Challenge: Ronin!
A masterless website without anyone to maintain or develop it further.
Solution: Baby Steps
Incremental upgrades to bolster functionality and increase exposure — like an integrated blog and contact forms — with an eye on redesign and transition to a Wordpress-driven blogging and content-management platform.
What’s Next: TeamMastermind 2.0
The site will undergo search-engine optimization soon, and continued maintenance and development is planned until the time is right to redesign and go “full Wordpress.”
Flagstaff Unified School District
Educational Enrichment
www.fusd1.org/elementary_standards_reports/
Challenge: The March of Progress
An elementary standards-report system that required teachers to edit PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat 6, which had been released circa 2003 and had stopped playing nicely with newer versions of Windows and Mac OS X.
Solution: Go with the Flow
A new, more efficient, easier-to-use system designed to tap into the capabilities of Acrobat 9 and the FREE Adobe Reader 9 and honor the design and layout of the original, already proven and familiar standards-report documents.
What’s Next: Stay the Course
Continued support for and development of the new system throughout the 2009-2010 school year, with upgrades and modifications planned for a fall 2010 release.

Continental Project
www.fusd1.org/continental_project/
Challenge: Presentation Blues
An educator in need of planning and technical assistance to effectively present her life’s work at an Idaho special-education conference.
Solution: Technology for Content’s Sake
A consult on organization and presentation techniques, followed by development of a few Powerpoint slides, and capped off with a bit of document-camera training.
What’s Next: The Future’s So Bright
Steph was invited to speak again at a second session later in the conference, her materials were endorsed as a potential Idaho special-education standard, AND she was approached about becoming a professional conference speaker. (Nice job, Steph!)
