Year:	2011
Result:	www.evergreenpowerltd.ca
Price range:	$1500 - $5000
Time it took	20 days
Specifics:	HTML from scratch; Full page custom design and layout; Fully content managed (using Stitch); jQuery & CSS3 Abstract menu Custom contact form Auto-add Evergreen's "recent Tweets" Creation of a facebook page and YouTube channel
Situation:	Evergreen Power had an existing website, but they were unhappy with how hard it was to keep the content up-to-date. They also felt that the design was a bit "dated" and was in serious need of a face-lift.
Challenges:	The solar industry is large. Evergreen wanted to ensure that its new website meet design and function trends and stood out. A tight turn-around time as well as the design for a "full-screen" layout meant that we had our work cut out for us.
Actions:	Based on Evergreen's needs, we decided to go with a "floating" theme where the background of the website was a great big beautiful field at sunset. Coupled with the "abstract" style menu (we like to use these instead of drop-downs), we think it turned out pretty well.

Situation:	CTF came to us with an existing website. As they were looking to remodel their entire marketing plan, they thought it best to start with a website - good idea;)
Challenges:	We were asked to wrap up (in a website) the feeling you get when you stand at the foot of the Rockies...Photos were to be the focus but the website also had to load quickly.
Actions:	We built the website such that the photos were the focus. By using some fancy back-end stuff, we were able to have the photos load quickly and crisply.
