Upgraded Website For A Simple Ecommerce Solution
Sample 1: MollyOCards

Molly Fedarko had over 100 greeting cards and invitations on her original website but needed a simple ecommerce solution for her small Maine business. Her requirements were straight forward: keep the original color scheme, incorporate her new logo, install a shopping cart feature, and of course, have the ability to add new products on her own.

Flying Change Webs & Graphics owns a license to several ecommerce solutions for Wordpress, and customizing the Market Theme was the perfect solution for mollyOcards. Molly's new website offers the self-maintenance interface she needed while allowing her to expand her business with a professional online shopping experience for her customers.

Upgraded Website For A Simple Ecommerce Solution
Sample 2: Ricetta's Brick Oven Ristorante

Working with Colleen Seymour of Seymour Designs, Ricetta's had already updated their point of sale advertising materials for restaurant in Falmouth, Maine. However, their website was tired - pages were long, navigation was inconsistent, and the old website that once worked well for them was no longer filling their needs.

Thanks to Colleen's many years of experience in graphic design and knowledge of Ricetta's marketing goals, she was able to provide the mock-ups and images needed to build a stylish new website for Ricetta's. The new web design maintains the branding established in the promotional materials seen throughout Ricetta's. Menus were broken down so they could be found quickly by a visitor, monthly specials are highlighted, customers can purchase gift certificates and sauces online, and important information can be found easily on every page.

Redesigned For technology Upgrade and easy content management
Sample 3: American Women's Club of London

The American Women's Club of London (AWC London) knew of the services provided by Flying Change Webs & Graphics because of our affiliation with FAWCO (the Federation of American Women's Clubs Overseas). Having already benefited from the customer service we offer, AWC London came to us looking to bring their outdated website to the 21st century with an easy-to-use CMS platform.

We chose Wordpress for AWC London because of it's reputation for being user-friendly and the ability for us to work with the Genesis platform to give it the 100% customization we needed. With loads of information for new expatriates moving to London, an activities calendar, and a password-protected member area, AWC London got everything they needed PLUS a beautiful design!

Updated Website Designed With Consistency In Mind
Sample 4: A. H. Grover, Inc.

Local Maine excavating company, A. H. Grover, Inc. knew they needed something more than a homegrown website to reflect the professional site work they accomplish. The most problematic area of their original website was the inconsistent navigation - making it difficult to move from page to page within their site. Some pages lacked a link to the navigation all together. This would become my #1 priority in the redesign: consistent navigation.

My instructions were to make sure their signature red (like their red trucks) and logo were prominently displayed and to create a user-friendly photo gallery to show progress of an entire project. Upon leaving the A. H. Grover, Inc. offices in North Yarmouth, Maine, I snapped a photo of their wood sign and replaced the small wooden sign with their logo to create their custom banner. By adding their signature red to a standard horizontal navigation bar, the site becomes anything but standard. Creating the projects page gives visitors a place to quickly scan several completed projects and with one click of the mouse, they can take a closer look at any of the projects.

New Web Design For A Unique Look and Easy Navigation
Sample 5: Fitch's Corner

Fitch's Corner is known as one of the "best events to attend" in Area 1 of the USEA  because they pay attention to every detail of the event. The organizers provide a unique experience for competitors and spectators at the horse trials. Their original website provided all the necessary information, but they didn't feel the website visitor got the feel of the beautiful grounds, the unique event, and the overall experience of Fitch's Corner Horse Trials and Events.

We started with the beautiful photographs made available to us by Brian Wilcox of Connecticut Photo. The most difficult part was to choose just a few from the many gorgeous options we had. By highlighting what the organizers felt were the most important aspects of Fitch's Corner, we created a beautiful and welcoming home page, featuring the fantastic photographs provided by Brian Wilcox of Connecticut Photo. This home page draws website visitors into the rest of the site, which broadens the navigation structure both horizontal throughout the site and vertical within each of the four primary categories.

WEBSITE Redesigned For a Better Client Experience
Sample 6: Equine Veterinary Service

Equine Veterinary Service wanted a complete overhaul to match the beautiful new design of their business cards and logo and to provide a better experience for their clients. The most important aspect for Dr. Judd and Equine Veterinary Service was to actively and easily promote client education on their website.Their original site was out of date, difficult to navigate, and the colors didn't portray their new image.

Working with LVT Vicki Coffin, we updated all pages and organized them into categories so clients can easily find important information about the practice, the the veterinarians, vaccination schedules, how to handle an emergency, and even follow along with Dr. Judd on an acupuncture or dental session.

WEBSITE Redesigned for a More Appealing Look
Sample 7: Finest Kind Caterers

After seeing the new look of Toddy Brook Golf Course and Anderson Landscaping, Finest Kind Caterers owner Virginia Anderson called Flying Change Webs & Graphics to redesign her website, too.

The original website didn't show the unique nature of Finest Kind's Lobster Bakes and Catering Services. The navigation wasn't shown on the first screen, leaving visitors feeling stranded. The subsequent web pages were text pages which forced the visitor back to the home page to go anywhere else on the website. With their new website design, there is no question that "A New England Adventure Awaits You" with Finest Kind Caterers.
