Fountain Valley Living is a community magazine targeting its local community in California. This web site, built with the Drupal content management system, had to allow the client to update news as it happened and to correlate online articles with the print magazine versions.

The site also includes a banner advertising engine that allows the client to sell adspace, track impressions and clicks and provide their clients with reports. So in addition to being a beacon for news in their community, the client can bring in advertising revenue using a cost-effective solution.

The site features a gallery, classifieds, and events that the client can add and update easily. Site search allows users to quickly find what they are looking for.

The footer dynamically updates as content is added and provides links to social media pages that offer the enduser another way to connect with Fountain Valley.

This fun, energetic website design caters to middle-school aged children. The design presents a lot of information while maintaining a sense of whimsy and a bold use of color.

The site is fully integrated with the Sitefinity content management system and allows the Builders Club team to update their announcements and news as they happen.

The client wanted to call out five specific areas in the form of graphic buttons, which threatened to put too much color onto the page. We designed these graphical buttons to be white in the inactive state and allow the color to emerge when the mouse was rolled over the images.

This professional web design had to incorporate elements from an existing standards manual, such as logo size and placement, brand color palette and the white horizontal bar. Our design solution had to be flexible enough to include RSS feeds, program links, rotating banners, donation requests, and constantly updating content.

The web design shows children breaking through the borders of the page, creating a sense of freedom. The blue sky and depth of field reinforce that concept. The content is broken up into a five column grid using the “divine proportion,” giving each element a sense of purpose in its placement.

This elegant design maintains the Kiwanis brand standards, while targeting a worldwide audience. We utilized a map to show targeted countries. It was strategically manipulated to display on either side of the content area. The map remains a stationary element while all other design elements are translucent and allow the map to be seen through them as the viewer scrolls down the page.

This website was built with Sitefinity, a content management system that allows the client full flexibility in changing and updating text, photos and navigational elements throughout the website.
