Four websites in one—that was the website design requirement for GM Component Holdings, LLC, which includes three unique but synergistic business units within its Kokomo Manufacturing facilities. The website needed to include the distinct business units—the Semiconductor business, the thick Film Printing business, and the Electronics Assembly business—plus an overall site linking all three together. Each business unit needed a site with separate navigation, yet the site as a whole had to present a uniform appearance and tone throughout.

Customized solutions developed by BoxCrush included:

  • A website section for each of the business units: Semiconductor, Thick Film Printing, and Electronics Assembly.
  • Basically, four websites in one: one for each business unit and one for the overall site
  • Separate segmented access to approved personnel for each of the four website sections, as well as access for the parent company personnel.
  • Site search, customized for each business unit
  • Home page custom rotator for graphics and content

Genuity Website Development

BoxCrush, a Sitefinity Platinum Partner, collaborated with Momentum Worldwide, the global marketing agency working with Monsanto. The timeline on the project was tight, the website was large, and a lot of development customization was needed. The new site needed two major kinds of changes: a complete overhaul, with most of the Flash removed, a user-friendly CMS; and extremely specific and extensive customization.

BoxCrush implemented Momentum Worldwide’s design and customization requests, building the website in (a little less than) 40 days. Also constructed in Sitefinity, the new Genuity website features many customized solutions, including: a customized home page, an “Ask the Experts” feature, custom ad modules, news function, slider panels, customized main navigation, custom dealer locator, and testimonial integration with Google Maps.

The Genuity® Brand is the new family of trait innovations for corn, soybean, cotton and specialty crops from Monsanto. The Genuity brand is known for its breakthrough trait technology, helping farmers do what they do, even better. Genuity’s goal is to help farmers achieve maximum yield and reduce the number of natural resources required to plant, grow and harvest crops.

This custom website development involved writing over 1,500 lines of CSS code by hand (just for the main site design). Deep integration with the Sitefinity content management tool allows a flexible layout and design for each page.

Our task involved creating custom templates for the content management system, multi-language support, custom module development, integrated micro-sites and more.

We assisted Kiwanis in achieving workflow integration and helped them to reduce their overall website administration by allowing departments outside the IT team to participate in content updates, news releases and media uploads.

We fully customized this website design for Leading Edge Metals & Alloys, including a custom logo, FLASH and a custom-developed PDF request form that sends PDFs only when the user has supplied a working email address.

This masculine design includes a metallic background and use of transparency. The bold, dark background provides intense contrast with the foreground, making the typography easy to read.

Kiwanis Club Locator Development

The Kiwanis Club Locator was an interesting technological challenge. Built in ASP.NET, SQL Server and Sitefinity CMS, this tool allowed users to find their local club in one of 80 nations, including foreign zip codes and some countries too small to have zip codes.

Specify your location and search radius and this tool will show you the nearest clubs on a map and allow you to choose up to three clubs to send your contact information to. Each local club that you choose will then have the ability to contact you with more information.

This tool integrates Sitefinity with a Personify database that the client maintains. The locator currently returns results for over 7,800 clubs and dynamically pulls meeting locations, meeting time, and local website data.

This worldwide discussion module is custom-developed for Sitefinity. It allows you to vote for your favorite of three service projects. Your vote will be tallied into a graphical poll results counter. At the time you vote, you may also post a comment about why you are choosing this service project.

The discussion can happen in up to eight languages and each discussion is siloed into its own language, although the poll results are totaled from all eight languages.

This design was brought to us by the client in the form of layered Photoshop files. Our task was to produce a finished website utilizing the Sitefinity content management system.

Through this platform we integrated video and provided a tool for the client to add news updates and keep the site current.

We custom-designed social media icons for the site and made sure they were well-integrated with Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and flickr.

The SM Leadership project was brought to us by an agency that specializes in print design only. We were given layered Photoshop files that contained the finished design. Our responsibility was to convert that design into a finished website, complete with a content management system.

We coded the site into WordPress, and gave access to both the print agency and their client.
