Luigi's Patio Ristorante Website

in

Luigi's Patio Ristorante is a hot Italian restaurant in town with an interior decor providing a unique ambiance, traditional, authentic Italian cooking, and live music most evenings. BCSWebstudio was hired to replace their original website with a design that incorporated all the elements above along with improved navigation/usability and a more sleek, contemporary feel.

Case Study: 

The new Luigi's restaurant website is in Drupal. Its content is completely maintained by the site owners, and even their header image is resized, cropped, and faded automatically as a banner image with photos the owners upload via the website. "No thinking required." The site owners manage their calendar of music events and specials and build simple "Special Musical Guests" profiles to help promote the live jazz music.

Notable points of interest: Calendar of events, Flash panorama of restaurant interior, image "eye candy" upload, and the site does all the work to resize, crop, and fade.

in

Herrick Goldman Lighting and Design, Inc. is a stage and corporate event lighting design company in New York, New York which lights stages, shows, and other large events across in the United States and elsewhere in the world.

Case Study: 

Herrick Goldman Lighting and Design, Inc. hired BCSWebstudio to assume updates to their existing website, but the possibilities for this creative group with a quickly expanding portfolio needed a bit more from BCSWebstudio.

While generally staying true to the original design and layout, we transformed their static website into a database-driven CMS which allows their staff to upload to and annotate photos and events in their portfolio. Some additional key points of this rebuild included introducing SEO, standardizing the main menu across the site navigation, and bringing all site administrative functions into a single, simple web interface.

Ramute Plioplys - Artist Memorial Site

in

Ramute Plioplys was a Canadian-born scholar and folk artist who survived polio at an early age and traveled to Lithuania, where she honed her Lithuanian folk art techniques. In loving memory, her website, complete with articles, citations, and a well-stocked online gallery of her breath-taking, beautiful artwork, is a memorial to her and her contributions.

Case Study: 

BCSWebstudio was contracted to design and develop this online memorial to the artist and art gallery. Photos of her work and publications sometimes still surface and need to be added, and adding them is a snap through this opensource, Gallery2-driven, dynamic website.

BrazosVotes Voter Information and Awareness Website

in

Voter Registration under the County Clerk of Brazos County received an emergency order to present its static (and out of date) website in both English and Spanish. The existing website was also under-serving its potential in its then current state.

Case Study: 

Unique attributes of this website include support for multilingual content using the i18n Internationalization Drupal contributed module which allows a web visitor or content editor to flip back and forth between languages without "leaving" a given page.

Brazos County Historical Commission Website

in

The Brazos County Historical Commission was in need of a website to provide more exposure and information about Brazos County historical markers online. The site designed and built a website for them met and exceeded their expectations, and this active website is still being updated and maintained by Brazos County.

This website was developed by BCSWebstudio owner Bronius Motekaitis, in his capacity as Webmaster of Brazos County from 2005-2007. This work is owned by Brazos County.

Case Study: 

The Brazos County Historical Commission website is built atop Drupal. Using the Google Maps module and custom templates for "info windows" when markers on the map are clicked, the site is able to show photos of the marker and areas surrounding it right within the map.

Brazos Heritage Society Website

in

Brazos Heritage Society is dedicated to preserving the cultural heritage of Brazos County and combat the deterioration of older parts of our community through education, advocacy, and special projects.

BCSWebstudio was contracted by Brazos Heritage Society to rein in their old website login information, provide some basic, long-overdue content updates, and design and rebuild a completely new website for a cleaner, more refined look, and to provide a content management system to allow them to perform their own content updates.

Case Study: 

Prior to a website rebuild, some immediate website updates needed to be performed. However, their site was hosted at Yahoo Business Services, and the login credentials were lost with the unexpected disappearance of their previous web designer. With familiarity with technology and a variety of web hosting providers, we were able to resurrect lost credentials to their original website and step in and perform some much-needed, long overdue content updates to get them back on their feet.

The website we delivered is built atop Drupal. Its content can be completely updated by the site owners, including uploading or linking to .mp3 audio files for their featured Heritage Highlights radio program episodes. Brazos Heritage Society is now able to receive print and email newsletter subscription and membership requests via their website, and they independently manage their online content.
