We recently redesigned and launched a Builder Recruitment website for Wausau Homes, America’s trusted builder for over 50 years.  The redesign aimed to create a more user-friendly experience and further emphasize the benefits of becoming a Wausau Homes builder.

Benefits of being a Wausau Homes builder include:

• Increased profitability
• No franchise fees
• Less time building and more time selling
• Name brand credibility
• Increased home buyer trust

There’s nothing typical about becoming a Wausau Homes builder, and they have thousands of success stories to prove it.

The American Osteopathic Association approached us about designing a holiday email to be sent to their members — a hefty list of Osteopathic Physicians and students of osteopathic medicine. As 2009 wraps up, they wanted to simply spread a positive holiday message and good wishes for the new year. Our interactive and creative teams had fun developing our stop action photography dove concept and the rest of us also had fun watching it take flight (tee hee). It’s a lovely little holiday e-card, well worth sharing! Check it out below (be sure to click through to the animated portion) and have a very happy, safe holiday!

We recently launched a new website for 101 Celsius, a leading distributor and installer of solar thermal evacuated-tube systems.  Solar thermal systems from 101 Celsius provide hot water and heat for industrial and commercial buildings, as well as power solar air conditioning systems. The benefits of these systems are significant – including improved cash flows, higher profits, reduced taxes, and a more environmentally-positive corporate image.

The process of building this particular website came with an added challenge: How do we turn highly technical and scientific information into a marketing message that is easy for people not familiar with this topic to understand?  Well, with a little extra blood, sweat and tears – and a few honorary PhD’s in Physics earned – envisionit media was able to get the job done!

Last (Thursday) when I got home, I sat down and turned on the TV. Everyone’s first move right? Well, while flipping through the channels, I found CNBC had a great segment on.

It’s called “Inside The Mind of Google”. Sounds pretty nerdy, but this segment really caught my attention. If you ever wanted to learn what capabilities are out there for your business that Google can offer, I recommend watching it.

It not only explained how their searches work, but it gave some great insight how to utilize their technology. From Google’s Search Engine, to Google Adwords, to Google Earth, to even their new operating system Android, it explains and demonstrates how we can use these tools for our own professional benefit. The segment dissected exactly what Google has to offer and what we can expect for the future.

If you’ve ever done a Google search, wouldn’t you like to know where that data goes?
