As Brixmark headed towards its initial launch date, the company brought on Siteshine as an additional resource to aid in the front-end development of the desktop web app. When development of its mobile counterpart became a major priority, Siteshine designed and created the HTML5-based mobile app UI from the ground up using jQuery Mobile, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of devices such as iPhone, iPad, and Android. Brixmark is available today in public beta. If you are part of the wine industry, sign up now for your free account!

In anticipation of the grand opening of the new Iron Stone Restaurant, Siteshine was hired to design and launch the website for Iron Stone, along with its Facebook page. More content is planned for the site including an interactive menu and photo gallery. Open every day, Iron Stone Restaurant is the perfect place for you to enjoy the bounty of the Sonoma County Wine Country.

In spring of 2011, Dale, the lead pastor and Leigh, the communications coordinator for First Presbyterian Church of Santa Rosa contacted Siteshine and invited us to bid on FPC’s extensive website redesign effort. We were pleased to be selected for the project and are very happy with the results! We worked closely with Leigh to gather the extensive content requirements for the site, design a forward-looking new online destination for FPC, and added features like Photo Gallery and Sermon Archive for the church to use. The logo was created by Zelaya Designs.

From FPC’s purpose page: “OUR MISSION STATEMENT: Submitting ourselves to the claims of Jesus Christ, together we seek to honor him, embody his presence and proclaim his gospel with authenticity, humility, and love.”

Arousing Success is the brand of Dr. Jeannie LeMesurier, a clinical psychologist, life coach and motivational speaker. Her training in both psychology and life coaching is extensive, and in addition she is a graduate of Jack Canfield’s elite Train the Trainers Program (yes, that Jack Canfield, of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame). Siteshine was provided a style guide and background and built out the rest of the site design and navigation by creating a fully-custom WordPress theme. Siteshine also integrated a "moving picture" video on the home page for visual effect.

As a new iOS app developer wanting to catch the attention of both investors and new customers, deck5 Software turned to Siteshine to design an attractive landing page for the company. We wanted to capture the feeling of time-tested elegance in the world of finance, while showcasing the cutting-edge technology in development by deck5. The results are in and once more Siteshine has delivered.

DJ Dax is a phenomenally successful DJ based in Sonoma County, California. He has provided services at such prestigious venues as Francis Ford Coppola winery, Sonoma State University, Mary Agatha Furth Center, Hyatt Vineyard Creek, and Kenwood Farms & Gardens. From weddings to corporate events, from school dances to sports team celebrations, DJ Dax can do it all. When looking at his client list and testimonials, DJ Dax's professionalism speaks for itself.

When DJ Dax approached Siteshine to talk about replacing his previous site, he had a number of needs and concerns. His site was entirely Flash-based, leaving the mobile generation completely out of the loop—a particular problem when a large part of his clientele are young kids and teens. He needed to combine his website's promotional activities with a variety of social networks. He wanted to set up forms using Wufoo that he could use for contests, lead generation, and especially SMS text signups. His ultimate wish was to find a way to send out bulk texts to fans letting them know of upcoming events and specials.

Siteshine accepted the challenge, and in short order, we designed and developed the brand new DJ Dax Online. It combines the best of Siteshine's skillset, fusing a variety of platforms and services together to create a seamless integration that serves DJ Dax's requirements. With Flash gone and mobile content, including photos and video, front and center, he is now able to reach the latest generation of users.

We had a blast working on this project, and hope you enjoy the fruit of our labor. “Love the new site! and I mean I love it! haha. Looks great. Professional and still stylish. Awesome!” —DJ Dax

We helped create the marketing impact of the home page and developed a straightforward navigation outline. The website design was built on top of WordPress, allowing David full access to update the site as needed down the road in order to promote Potential Plus Consulting easily and effectively.

We hope you enjoy visiting the new site as much as we enjoying developing it!

Santa Rosa Rotary is one of the largest of the Rotary Clubs in Sonoma County. Jared, our Creative Director, was fortunate enough to meet the chair of their website redesign committee right at the time when they were beginning to think they could use some outside assistance, and in no time Siteshine was able to sit down with the committee and begin brainstorming.

Over the course of a couple of months, Siteshine and the Rotary Club website committee worked diligently to nail down the design and layout, and we helped their content author learn how to use the new WordPress-based editing system.

All in all, this was a fun project for us to work on, and we were quite impressed by the speed and agility of the committee to move things forward. Visit Rotary Club of Santa Rosa to see the results of our labor!

We created a custom Rails-based site that provides a flexible system of presenting both the books and the authors in Just World Books catalog. Books can be tagged for easy findability, and each book and its author(s) are cross-linked to make navigation simple. We added Facebook and Twitter social plugin integration along with AddThis so visitors can share content on the site with their friends. We also developed a back-end integration for importing videos from YouTube and Vimeo, along with podcasting via the BuzzSprout service. This was one of the more ambitious projects we've tackled to date, and we're pleased it turned out well! Visit Just World Books »

"Siteshine made me an amazing Web site that I feel proud to show all my clients," says Rosemary. "It's so great to have all my info in one place, and I can tell people to go to my site and it's all there. I don't have to explain everything when I talk to a new person."

In addition to the Web site, Siteshine designed the logo and color scheme for Healing Hands Massage which was used for business cards, brochures, and other printed materials. Explains Rosemary: "Everyone loves my brochure, and my logo design is perfect because I love butterflies and natural colors (earth tones)."

Siteshine also integrated an online service that allows people to buy gift certificates instantly and send them over e-mail. It's fully transparent to users of the site and the backend is connected with Healing Hands' merchant account. After being trained by Siteshine, Rosemary is able to change her prices and services on a regular basis on both the main site and the gift certificate service.

"Jared really knows what he's doing, and when I explained to him the concept of what I wanted, he gave me several options of color schemes and we were able to get everything set up quickly. Now I know how to edit the site when I need to, and it's simple to use."

Do you want an attractive and useful online presence like Healing Hands Massage has? Contact Siteshine today and let us know how we can best serve you.

When chiropractor Dr. Douglass Toth needed to build a Web site to support his burgeoning Santa Rosa-based practice, he turned to Siteshine. On our first visit to CenterPoint Chiropractic, we noticed his office already exhibited a distinct color scheme and design style, and our mission was to translate the care and warm welcome Dr. Toth's patients receive into an effective online presence.

The results speak for themselves. With CenterPoint Chiropractic now online, Dr. Toth is able to reach a broader base of people looking to improve their quality of life, as well as provide additional easy-to-access information for existing clients.

"I now get people calling to make an appointment with me over other people on the Internet because they liked my Web site," says Dr. Toth. "So the very reasonable cost to pay for the Web site is being repayed almost immediately."

Getting your foot in the online door is a good first step, but not all sites are created equal. Careful attention to detail and an eye to crafting a satisfying experience will make all the difference. We look forward to partnering with you and going the extra mile in creating a great Web site.

Timothy Youngs works in Santa Rosa as a contractor. He approached Siteshine with the vision of allowing buyers and sellers to come together to trade items and converse about do-it-yourself projects.

"The idea for the ExchangeBucket developed from a need I saw in the construction industry for builders and homeowners to have an outlet to sell excess materials after the completion of a job. It soon grow into an online community with forums and the ability to buy and sell tools and equipment as well," Timothy says.

On the site, members have the ability to add listings with attached photos and location metadata to aid in searches. Anyone who signs up can contact the owner of a listing to find out details or arrange a trade. There is also a discussion forum right on the site for members to share tips & tricks related to the building industry.

"Siteshine took an idea of mine that was still in the dream stage and turned it into a reality; from a few sketches on notepaper to a professional looking and working website," Timothy continues. "The process was easy and enjoyable. When there were aspects that I found confusing or beyond me, the Siteshine team explained it to me in a way that I could understand. Overall I give Siteshine a five star rating for their service and continued support."

Siteshine did the graphics & programming for ExchangeBucket. We can do it for you.

Update: in the site's recent transition from American Builders Exchange to ExchangeBucket, Siteshine helped redesign the logo and front page and transfer the content seamlessly to its new domain.

Explains Geoffrey: "The Flute Portal was conceived early in 2006 by myself and Jeff Ball to fill what we perceived as a major resource gap in the world of flute enthusiasts.  The idea of having a web site that was user interactive and feature laden was a bit of a dream at first (since neither of us knew the first thing about web design).  We were inspired by this need, but unable to do anything apart from talking about it.

"When I finally had enough motivation to want to bring this idea closer to reality, I contacted Jared [Siteshine's Creative Director].  He had the background and the vision to give solid form to these ideas and he set about doing it in a very thoughtful way."

The Flute Portal was launched towards the end of 2006. Since then, it has continued to grow rapidly. Last year, it became clear that an overhaul of the underlying infrastructure was needed to support new features such as digital music streaming and an updated profile design.

Geoffrey worked with Siteshine to build a new Flute Portal that sports a robust Music section for artists to upload their profile information, audio tracks, and discography, as well as embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo. Other features include an activity stream that pulls in recent data from the forum and blog sites we had set up a couple of years prior, PayPal-based sponsorships from users, and Google AdManager integration.

The new Portal went online at the end of 2009, and numerous artists have already added profiles and songs to the site. More features are planned for launch in later 2010. "Siteshine's experience in the larger world of corporate web design and maintenance has given them a philosophy of design that focuses on making the site elegant and easy to navigate," says Geoffrey. "This was exactly what I was looking for and our users love the way the site has evolved.  I'm really looking forward to the next phase of the construction! I appreciated the high level of professionalism that was exhibited, as well as the excellent communication at every phase of the project.  I’m counting on Siteshine to see us through our continuing development."

We're excited about this important milestone in the history of the Flute Portal. Check out the new site today, and enjoy the custom-designed music player we created just for the Portal. Then let us know how we can bring your business into the spotlight with a custom-designed Web site.
