The successful new small winery, Pedemonte Cellars, does not have a tasting room or public tour. Virtually all of its sales are generated via the web and word of mouth. As is true of many small wineries producing superb wine, but low case volume, developing a devoted following is critical to long-term success.

The website was developed to coordinate with email blasts timed to generate orders in advance of the release of a new vintage. It is also an image building vehicle, appealing to the sophisticated wine buyer. It employs our EpiStore Shopping Cart System, and features some entertaining Flash effects.

The leader in sales and training for biofeedback professionals, Stens Biofeedback offers an enormous range of biofeedback equipment, supplies, and year-round workshop programs in cities across the United States.

The robust EpiStore Shopping Cart System manages both the sales of product and workshop enrollment and registration. We also manage the Google/Yahoo advertising programs, which have coincided with a tremendous increase in product sales and workshop publicity.

By creating a highly sophisticated and elegant website, we helped 1801First launch its new upscale Bed and Breakfast Inn in a way that perfectly matched their target market.

This state of favorable expectation stimulates reservations and the anticipation of becoming a guest.

This jungle lodge in Belize presented a number of challenges from a website development standpoint. Any lodge on the edge of the jungle must attract a unique clientele, one which is motivated by a nature-inspired vacation.

Accordingly, we worked closely with our client to identify the target customer, and design the website to enhance the sense of exploration and adventure. Through some unusual custom-developed flash animation techniques, we created a travel-related site complete with tour itineraries, travel photos, environmental information and an atmosphere immersion in the natural world.

The website for this ultra-luxury wine country hotel and spa features stunning photos and extensive Flash components.

Potential guests want to see guest rooms, and a great deal of attention has been devoted to providing excellent views of each room type. Hotels in the wine country are highly competitive, and our approach has been to provide information and rich content to great depth, for those who want to dig deeply. They are rewarded by photo galleries, ever-changing menus and spa treatment options.

Selling literally hundreds of products used for promotional purposes by its clients, Sonoma Promotional Solutions needed a new website that more closely reflected their position as one of the leaders in the promotional merchandise industry. Their customers are other businesses and organzations, meaning they are straight-forward and ready to make purchase decisions.

Accordingly, we developed a variety of tools to help customers search for product and to quickly review the many categories of products available for order. The presentation is attractive and user-friendly, not overly complicated and presents an unambiguous and easy-to-use navigation system. We also developed and manage the Google/Yahoo advertising program for this client.

An historic 1890s mansion is now an elegant inn, where each guest room reflects sophistication and elegance.

The flash segments include user controls to allow for pausing, resuming, and reversing the flow of images.

The display area is fixed and page scrolling occurs within the fixed website display area.

Government agencies are excellent at collecting and tabulating data, but not particularly good at communicating it clearly and meaningfully to others. As issues of energy and water use become more important and discussed, the Sonoma County Water Agency came to us for help in presenting their data in ways that would be more interesting and dynamic.

The site has developed into a rich and deep web environment, with fully functional semantic web features. We have had the opportunity to work with the Los Alamos National Laboratory's Earth Sciences and Environment Division and have incorporated many unique and highly advanced programming features and functions. Energy related projects by organizations and agencies across the United States are now featured, and project groups can participate with each other using social networking tools.

Catering to corporate travel planners and individuals seeking unique California wine country tours and programs, Viviani is one of the leaders in its field. The website needed to include information about the diverse programs they offer, impressive client list, testimonials, and services.

Moreover, because of the range and diversity of their offering, the website’s appearance needed an infusion of energy and liveliness, color, movement and an overall quality of sense stimulation. This was accomplished through the use of flash animation and excellent photos.

Small wineries have unique challenges; even if the wine they produce is judged to be extraordinary, establishing a distinctive and memorable image in the mind of the consumer is of equal importance.

Reviews, an image gallery and restaurants serving their wine are also featured, which further enhances their image.

With wine country tour services ranging from pre-scheduled bus tours to private chauffeur-driven stretch-limousine winery tours, California Wine Tours is the leading transportation company in the North Bay.

The website was developed to showcase their extensive offerings and provide highly detailed information so that travel planners and corporate clients can easily determine what is most appropriate, as well as providing the general public with tour schedules and reservation tools. An extensive Google/Yahoo ad campaign was implemented by us, and it has resulted in a substantial increase in web-based inquiries and bookings.

When a trip to Paris is being planned, conveying exactly how the rental apartment looks is central to instilling guest confidence. Accordingly, we developed a flash-based apartment photo display system entirely managed by the client that classifies images, adds captions and uploads them into a specific apartment’s flash sequence automatically.

Multiple views of each room and apartment can made available, and can be added to the website by the client from any internet connected computer 24 hours-a-day. Information about the Paris neighborhoods is also available and is updated frequently.
