Hannah — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:21:29 +0000

We’re delighted to redevelop the Brand and create a newly designed web site for the Historic Savannah Foundation. Our efforts will enhance this high-profile non-profit’s brand, providing clear and consistent messaging in all media. We plan to launch Historic Savannah Foundation’s new user-friendly web site in the Spring of 2010. The organization’s new branding will be evident in signage, printed material, online messaging and at events, signaling a fresh look that emphasizes Historic Savannah Foundation’s vital contribution to the community.

Complete with an MLS feed and all sorts of shiny new ways to sort their listings, The Landings Company launched their fully re-designed and re-developed web site this week.

Smack Dab Studios worked side-by-side with their Marketing team and their Realtors to focus on showcasing The Landings’ many benefits and amenities. The in-house Marketing team can now update any portion of the site and rotate out featured promotional areas throughout.

When Byrd Cookie Company approached Smack Dab Studios with their latest idea, we knew it would be the perfect fit for our in-house-geeks Blake and Huey. Working closely with the client, Smack Dab designed and developed a custom addition to their existing web site allowing their customers to upload photographs and choose from a variety of cookie tins on which their image could be reproduced. This feature gave Byrd the added interactivity that they’d been looking for – and in-turn it will save their company hours by their staff which used to be spent coordinating the sending/receiving of images & proofs. Now customers can complete the entire transaction online in just a few clicks.

Just in time for the holiday season, the new and snazzy (it’s our blog, we can say that, right?) “Make My Tin” application makes it possible for anyone to design a custom cookie tin! In three easy steps one can upload a picture, choose a color, and after composing a catchy greeting, have the tins shipped out to family and friends!

We pride ourselves on being able to answer the question “Can you do that…?” with a “Yep, done and done!”

Take the new “Make My Tin” for a test drive – and order some cookies for your loved ones or your favorite Smack Dabbers for the Holiday season: http://www.byrdcookiecompany.com/product/1021/41

We’re thrilled to announce that the new Colonial Dames web site is live at www.nscdaga.org. This sleek, patriotic-themed site marks the first time that the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in The State of Georgia has enjoyed a stand-alone web site.

The user-friendly site includes updated information about the Colonial Dames historic properties in Georgia, including the Andrew Low House in Savannah. In addition to designing the site, we also secured the new domain name, developed the branding and created a complete content management system allowing the Dames to update their site as needed.

NPR: Too much free WiFi, bad for business?

Hannah — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 03:01:02 +0000

As a company that prides itself on the ability to be completely “Virtual” (that is, we no longer have an official brick-and-mortar location), we enjoy the benefits of free WiFi from what seems like an endless supply of locations throughout the world, and obviously a large portion of that time we spend right in our own home-town coffee shop(s). Check out this news report from NPR about the debate coffee houses are having about limiting free WiFi. Say it isn’t so!
