Creative Works
Creative Works. Patricia Rosenbauer is an artist in Manchester, VT that
needed a simple website. As is common with many small business owners, word of
mouth referrals are what have been keeping her business going over the
years. These challenging economic
times coupled with online marketing mania, however, have caused her to
reevaluate how she presents her painting and products to the world.
This website was designed to meet several goals: to showcase Patricia’s artwork, to provide an easy to use ecommerce interface by which to sell her personalized eCards, and to encapsulate her style and painting mediums with imagery. By using the Joomla Content Management System, she has the capacity to keep her site fresh and can easily add new images of her work, upload new cards to her shopping cart and update events that are taking place where she can been found in person.
Pioneer Valley Aquarium Society
Pioneer Valley Aquarium Society, Inc. is an active regional club focused on all aspects of aquatic life. The purpose of this site is to provide avid fish lovers a listing of upcoming meetings, access to the monthly newsletter and to communicate what this club is all about to those who are unfamiliar. When they approached Concept Web Design about their website, they wanted to be able to easily update the site with news and events and didn’t want to have to wait on their developer.
This site also allows PVAS a way to recognize their valuable sponsors and to seek new ones. It is designed to be somewhat interactive for members and a fun, colorful place to visit.
Bennington Area Habitat for Humanity
Bennington Area Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization
that coordinates local volunteers to build homes for those in need. This
Bennington Affiliate needed a site redesign and structure when they contacted
Concept Web Design.

It is clean, well organized and has a clear call to action throughout for visitors.
Neighbor to Neighbor
The Neighbor to Neighbor Interfaith Community Program is a small non-profit
organization in Manchester, VT. dedicated to helping the elderly, disabled and
housebound individuals to get out and enjoy the company and companionship of
others. Their role is to organize neighboring volunteers that will help
accompany these individuals.
The main focus of this site is to inform the greater community about the services that the Neighbor to Neighbor program is providing. In addition, they are seeking more volunteers and donors to keep this program viable. Although they are not in much need to make changes and updates to this site regularly, because it is developed in Joomla, they do have that option.
Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies
Northeast
Council of Aquarium Societies has
an annual convention and needs to have a site that can change as the years roll
on. Concept Web Design is on its 3rd year of supporting this site. This robust site is full of functionality and
information for visitors who want to attend this convention each year.
With the ability to register for the event, make online donations and to participate in forums and photo contests, visitors become part of the community building process. Because this site changes from year to year, the articles and information is archived on the back end so that the managers have access to the historical information and forms so they don’t have to start from scratch each time.
