Site Redesign
Website Layout Design
Client Name: Malakye
Release Date: 30 January 2009
Website: www.malakye.com
Info: Malakye, a business-to-business resource, was looking for a new design for their website. In their own words, Malakye needed a layout that would "pop." The Taft designers and developers put together a new look that popped in all the right places. I mean, it's a website, not a bag of Orville Reddenbacher's

Blogger Template
Blog Template Design
Client Name: Duck & Cover
Release Date: 15 April 2008
Website: www.duckandcovermusic.net
Info: Blogging is more than a pass time; for many, it's a profession. So when the music geeks at Duck & Cover weren't satisfied with the Blogger Templates they could dig up using Google, they got in touch with Taft. The new layout boosted more than their egos--traffic increased by 40% after the new template was unveiled.

Auto Show
Web Development
Client Name: Auto Trader
Release Date: 18 January 2009
Website: www.autoshow.autotrader.ca
Info: While the site was to be based in Wordpress, there were many pages of requirements that demanded a solid knowledge of PHP and jQuery. Given only two weeks what Auto Trader received was not one but two sophisticated sites (one in French, one in English). The project uses PHP, Wordpress 2.7, CSS, and is accessible in IE 6 & 7, Firefox 2 & 3, and Safari.
Visitor Guide
Website Maintenance
Client Name: Southland Visitor Guide
Release Date: 12 October 2008
Website: www.southlandvisitorguide.co.nz
Info: Maintaining the online visitor guides for tourism specialists Southland Visitor Guide involves updating their Access database, ASP scripting, and general content management.
Trader Real Estate
Website Layout (CSS)
Client Name:Trader Corporation
Release Date: 18 December 2008
Website: TBA
Info: The major caveats with this project--as with most projects of this scope--was creating CSS layouts with malleability. Trader's Real Estate website is built on ASP.NET, and the developers needed a layout that could shift, stretch, and change as the scope changed. Furthermore, as a Canadian company, Trader needed the site's layout to look the same when it was translated to French. Our approach was to use CSS techniques like 'sliding doors' for tabs, repeating backgrounds, and floating divs.
