It's always fun seeing people do what they're good at, and this video is a great opportunity to see our client North Peak Brewing Company in action. Be sure to check out their website, which is one that we designed. And, be sure to check back shortly as we will be programming a mobile site for them.

Congratulations are in order! Our very own Co-Owner and Creative Director, Andrea Snyder, was selected as part of this year's 40 Under Forty class, presented by the Grand Rapids Business Journal. This is the second time Andrea has received this prestigious honor.

The reception was held at the Goei Center and entertainment was provided by the talented Ralston Bowles. Once again the Business Journal put on a stellar event.

Here's Andrea proudly displaying her framed piece from the event. You can read the 40 Under Forty publication in its entirety here - Andrea is featured on page 17. Thank you again to GRBJ for the recognition, this is always a fantastic list to be a part of!

It's always fun to see our photos being used in mainstream media to help promote a great show. There were a few that were featured in a recent broadcast on WZZM promoting Grand Rapids Civic Theatre's Flat Stanly. If you would like to check our more of our theatre photos, view our photos site.

We recently had the opportunity to work with Mettek LLC on a website redesign. After our initial meeting we had a strategy and were ready to move forward.

• We needed to showcase their products and provide relevant content that would increase their search engine traffic, so we developed a blog.
• Mettek prints on many different surfaces so we reviewed their products to determine the best way to organize the new website, allowing users to easily find what they were looking for.
• Because they have so many specialty products and services that needed to be displayed on their home page, we created a JavaScript slider allowing us to show more products, and also increase the use of search engine friendly keywords.
• Product photography was an important part of this site because Mettek has a great list of clients and sample products that needed to be displayed.

Take a look at the screen shots, or better yet check out their website and let us know what you think.
