Independent Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA) is the leading resource for independent distributors to find relevant quality information and to participate in advancing industry ethics, ensuring customer satisfaction, establishing standards, and promoting education.

We transfered and organized the content from an older content management system (CMS), Mambo, to a new site created with a more current Content Management System. The new site included transferring 700 registered users, more than 80 pages with various user access levels, product purchases made with PayPal, and nearly 100 links to articles in other websites.

With all the old content input into the existing site, IDEA's new content management system will allow them to increase their website's functionality to their employees and members.

"Sun Powered Productions (SPP) successfully redesigned and executed the creation and functionality of the current website for the Independent Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA) in October 2008. From my first contact with Jonathan to this very day, SPP has faithfully met their portion of the terms of each agreement we have made.

Jonathan and Shelly have met and many times exceeded my expectations in communications, setting project expectations, schedules, and performance on deliverables. Also, SPP has consistently been responsive to each of my subsequent needs for modifications to our website in the months since SPP completed their redesign of our website.

IDEA adheres to the highest order of service quality to ensure customer satisfaction. I am please to state that SPP adheres to these same levels of performance, therefore further enabling IDEA's capability to accomplish our goals.

Therefore it is my sincere pleasure to highly recommend the services of SPP. Companies such as SPP deserve the positive recommendation they have earned resulting from their history of this customer's satisfaction."

Respectfully,
Debra N. Eggeman
IDEA Executive Director

Quasar Global provides all aspects of IT management, installation, and support for a company's whole IT environment, from communications to servers to workstations and peripherals.

The Original Teepee Creepers Online Store makes the comfiest little slippers you ever wore. These sheepskin moccasin slippers are great for around the house, in the RV or anywhere.

Teepee Creepers came to us just having purchased an Joomla 1.0 online store (and url) from another company and needed some help getting everything setup properly. Since Fall 2009, we've done a variety of tasks to further refine their site, including adding a newsletter extension, creating holiday graphics, styling copy for their homepage, changing hosts & domain names, and cleaning up unnecessary products in their backend.

In April 2010, we launched a Joomla rebuild and redesign of their ecommerce site. This site features a product slideshow on the homepage, scrolling testimonials, thorough customized styling throughout all aspects of the site, new photos of all products similarly displayed, lightbox of all product images, and recommended products box.

We're very proud of this deluxe shopping cart site and absolutely love wearing our Teepee Creepers.

Grand Effects designs custom Outdoor Fire Features for Commercial and Residential Properties.

We initially made improvements to their pre-existing Flash based website, but encouraged them to abandon a "Flash only" design to take advantage of the improved SEO and many features of a Joomla based website. The new website features a Flash slide show on the home page and a photo gallery using a "lightbox" style display feature. Grand Effects has made good use of a newsletter component to notify their opt-in mailing list of over 1300 about new products and other relevant periodic information.

LoganBerry Heritage Farm is a Southern Appalachian Heritage Farm whose mission is to encourage healthy living by growing organic food sustainably.

LoganBerry Heritage Farm came to us looking for a site that reflected the beauty and welcoming feeling of the farm without blowing their budget.

We were able to deliver this beautiful site by dividing tasks between us and a couple of LoganBerry's pre-trained volunteers. Together we put together a site of great praise that features several pages, a blog with rss, facebook & CC-newsletter integration, customized template tweaks, and trained volunteers that can easily update the site.

We cannot take the credit for how lovely this site looks. Volunteer Lia Powell managed the development of this site on LoganBerry's end, choosing a design template that worked well for their farm, finding nice images of the farm, and pursuing the content that makes this site flourish. Having worked with Lia before on previous projects, we were familiar with her strengths and merely setup the structure for her to work with and customized the template and other features for her development. We very much enjoyed working on this project with LoganBerry and look forward to seeing their growth in the future.

"It goes without saying that I do acknowledge that you two have gone over and above the usual web design for our LHF site! How can I thank you? Philip & Lia have also given the extra on my behalf and they have spoken so highly of your extra efforts, as well. Please accept my sincere thanks."

American Sports Bra creates patented sports bras and bathing suits that use a special two bras in one design that supports women and allows them to look great.

This website challenged us with its desire to reflect the simplicity and invigorating nature of the bra with the design and layout of the website itself.

The site features search engine friendly content links and a back-end content management system that will allow American Sports Bra to add new retailers and other content items themselves.

"Jonathan and Shelly were so patient and so easy to work with. They are very professional, but also show a real interest in helping my business grow. Their hosting services are saving us about $40 a month over what our former web host charged. Whenever I wanted to change something, they were always willing. They worked with me to create the website my business deserves at affordable rates and remain on call for future expansion. Furthermore, I value their judgment which was important since this was a new process for me".

-Hilary Lambert, Founder of American Sports Bra

ESG Home Care Services came to us looking for a basic business-card style website that would reflect the care and understanding they have for their clients.

Knowing that the elderly would be a large number of people looking at their website, we created a template that was friendly towards that audience, using text sizes that were a bit larger than normal and clear navigation. The site features a rather pretty custom template, a contact form, translucent backgrounds on the main text areas, textual emphasizing within the content areas, and custom logo creation.

If their care and kindness is any indication of a good business, we look forward to watching this company grow.

The annual Myasthenia Gravis Walkathon raises "funds for research, patient services, public education and information in the fight against Myasthenia Gravis."

The Garden State Chapter of the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation (MGNJ) came to us looking for site that further brings together the energy of the walkathon community and enhances their ability to fund raise and collect donations. As a 501c3 nonprofit, MGNJ needed to reduce costs. We minimized the design phase by modifying one of Joomla's pre-designed templates and customizing it to fit MGNJ's needs.

This site features a community component that allows walkathon members to develop profiles and a feature that allows the community to form teams and enable conversations through with a wiki. For their fundraising side, the site features a fundraising and donation add-on that allows secure donations directly to paypal and records the list of donors to a cvs spreadsheet for tax purposes. This add-on also displays a list of the cause's top donors, a goal for the amount raised, and a total of the amount raised so far. This site also features drop-down menus.

Sun Powered Productions researched a variety of extensions for this project and worked with the tech support at a couple of extension companies, including OsSolutions who provided excellent service and advice.

Michael Weisbrot, aka Wallpaper Mike does wallpaper installation, wallpaper removal and wallcovering estimates in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas of California.

Mike came to us looking to establish more of a business presence on the web. Having run a successful wallpaper installation and removal business for nearly 40 years, Mike was seeing his business slowly dwindle and needed something to regenerate interest.

Using photos of speciality jobs Mike had taken over the years, and a collection of testimonials he gathered from the website Service Magic, we created a basic website to showcase his work. The site features a custom design, a gallery that displays his work in thumbnails with a popup lightbox feature, and scrolling testimonials on the homepage.

Since his website launched, Mike has seen a significant increase in clients as well as an increase in the number of quality projects that meet his high level of expertise.
