SWG Wins W3 Web Creativity Award

We won an award for our work on Conservation In Practice's site, which has since undergone a redesign. As with many design and web awards, there is a long lead time between entering them and receiving notice. Our portfolio section has a sample of the home page we originally designed.

Three Sites Launch with SuperWebCMS Software in September

Super WebGroup (SWG) recently redesigned and developed websites for Pope Resources headquarted in Poulsbo and Gig Harbor Guide, in GigHarbor, using their SuperWebCMS software. Also, SWG rebuilt Teragren’s website using SuperWebCMS so that Teragren can now make all of their content updates in-house.

Pope Resources is a publicly traded Master Limited Partnership listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the ticker symbol POPEZ. Pope Resources has a heritage as a land and timber owner in the Pacific Northwest that goes back for over 150 years. Today, their assets include 115,000 acres of productive timberland and nearly 3,000 acres of development property, most of which is within a 50-mile radius of Seattle.

Pope Resources site features flashmaps of their property so that visitors can quickly and easily locate property for sale.

Gig Harbor is Washington's MaritimeVillage. Originating from two-miles of walkable harbor front, GigHarbor is the first destination on the KitsapPeninsula after crossing the TacomaNarrowsBridge. This vibrant community is notable for its maritime heritage, marinas, parks, shops, galleries, restaurants, gardens and much more.
Gig Harbor Guide's site features an interactive calendar that is maintained in-house as well as a live weather feed and links to Tacoma Narrows Bridge live webcam.

Teragren manufactures and sells fine bamboo flooring, panels and veneer. They are headquarted on BainbridgeIsland and have been a client of SWG’s for more than five years. SWG helped them transition out of an approximately 100-page static HTML website that was cumbersome and costly to update into a database-driven site using SuperWebCMS that makes updating content in-house fast and easy.

Teragren's site features a retailer locator search, gallery of their installations and distributor information.

All three sites were developed using Super Web Group’s SuperWebCMS, which allows clients to completely maintain their sites in-house – from content and search engine optimization to creating and updating dropdown navigational menus. And, all sites using SuperWebCMS are fully searchable, have dynamically updated sitemaps and resize web pages dynamically for easy printing.

Instant Press Releases

Finally, I was getting through my languishing email, including one from Marketing Sherpa on the Top 10 Best Blogs & Podcasts of 2006, and found a gem I had to share right away. Instant press releases.

Every now and then clients and friends have asked me how to write a press release and I send off some material downloaded from the Seattle Times that has samples of how a press release should look. However, Duct Tape Marketing blog has an Instant Press Release online that's even easier to use. It organizes your information and presto puts it in the correct format.

Check it out! Now all you'll need is an email list to send it to - check out PRwire for distribution.
