Nash Community College
Rocky Mount, NC
Full redesign
Nash Community College approached us to redesign their main website after we successfully created a ‘mini-site’ for their online school. Their existing site had a very flat information hierarchy—counting links in drop down menus, there were over 170 links on their home page! Their primary issue was “nobody can find anything” and we felt this was primarily an issue with organization. We met with them, developed a set of site goals, and re-organized the entire site. Most of the work in this project was the planning; we were very fortunate to have collaborative project leads that listened to our ideas.
The site is a responsive design with 4 views: mobile, tablet, desktop and super sized desktop. We use Susy Compass SCSS processor to manage the breakpoints and CSS.

Pine Glo Products
Rolesville, NC
Product Label Design
Pine Glo Products is a North Carolina owned and operated cleaning supplies company. Pine Glo requested product labels that would capture the customers eye and fit in well with similar items, but still be unique in their own right. In designing these labels we strived to achieve prominent shelf visibility while keeping a consistent feel to the products.
Nash Online
Rocky Mount, NC
Web Design and Development
Nash Community College needed a full redesign for its online learning programs. We provided a complete reorganization and redesign of the site making it a lot easier to navigate. In addition, the site is fully responsive and works extremely well on a multitude of devices.
Our goal was to provide prospective students an easy way to start the enrollment process. We had to balance that goal with the needs of existing students looking for learning resources. Overall we’re happy with the end result, but more importantly, students and staff seem to be too!
Go ahead and take a look, then stand on the shoulders of giants!

Sustainable Agriculture Education Association Conference
Raleigh, NC
Logo and Poster Design

Henrys Fork Anglers
Island Park, Idaho
Logo recreation
Henry’s Fork Anglers already had an existing logo. However, the version they had was not high quality and was limited in the way it was used. The original logo was a bitmap image that was not easily scalable and would not print sharply. Imp Designs recreated this logo allowing it to be used in a variety of ways. The logo is now fully scalable and is suitable for printing in multiple sizes. We also adjusted the layout to include a long version, stacked version, and a version with no text.
Rimguard Inc.
Raleigh, NC
Logo Design
Rimguard Inc. was looking for a new look for their logo. Having recently changed their company name they needed something that would stand out in a variety of spaces. Imp Designs provided a solution in a logo that is not only stunning in 4 colors, but also looks just as good in two colors or just one. Whether the logo is emblazoned across a large truck or simply used on a business card, the logo has the same impact.
NC Medical Board
Raleigh, NC
Web Design and Development
We met the executive director of the NC Medical Board while visiting our favorite watering hole… only we didn’t know it at the time. We were actually a bit skeptical when he asked for a business card — we’ve never been happier to be wrong.
Our biggest challenge with the site redesign was organization. There’s a lot of content in this site and it serves two distinctly different audiences; medical professionals and consumers. We never could have completed this project without the assistance of the board’s public affairs department who not only listened to our suggestions, but participated enthusiastically in the process.
Since the site relaunched, the board has entrusted us with two other projects and a minor interface refresh.

Autohaus Import Service
Raleigh, NC
Web Design and Development, Photography and Internet Marketing
We met Autohaus owner Doug Rogers at the Capital City Club’s Leads One group. He had a cookie cutter site that he didn’t feel was properly representing his import repair shop. Boy was he ever right! Autohaus Import Service’s waiting room is freaking amazing! Large screen TV, wireless internet, work-space, coffee… it’s nicer than my living room!
The site contains several cool features, most of which are managed via ExpressionEngine 2. The site utilizes a couple of nifty Jquery goodies; the slideshow is powered by the Cycle plugin and we leveraged the Jquery UI plugin for the several interface elements. In addition to the design and development of the site we also provided photographic services.

Homewarmth
Raleigh, NC
Web Design and Development
There’s no better compliment than a client that asks us to redesign their site a second time. When Homewarmth first started their business, they were a fireplace company that did a little insulation work. So we built a site showcasing the various products they sold in their showroom.
In the last few years, Homewarmth has closed their showroom and shifted their emphasis to home insulation services. They hired us to redesign their site to reflect this change and we were happy to oblige. The new site contains targeted call to action forms and gives staff the ability to add and edit services and their descriptions at will.

TenPlus is the leading Apple repair shop in the area and they had an old dated site that really wasn’t doing much for them. We were able to change all of that. Products are now easy to browse, details about items are clear and concise, and getting in touch with the right people has never been easier for their customers.
It was great working with the folks at TenPlus and, as customers ourselves, we highly recommend them for Apple sales and support in the Raleigh-Durham area.

One of the greatest compliments a client can give us is their trust. Ticon Properties trusted us to rebuild their website in 2006 and now they’ve trusted us to redesign their site again.

Thanks to the administrative controls built in to ExpressionEngine, the staff at the various Ticon Properties can manage their own content.

Motor Works
DeKalb, IL
Web Design, Development and Internet Marketing
Since our redesign of Autohaus Import Services website, we’ve been getting inquiries from other auto repair shops. Marty Fay, owner of Motor Works in Dekalb, Illinois had seen the Autohaus website and had phoned the owner to check us out. Apparently the beers I occasionally buy for Doug at Big Boss Brewery were well worth the cost as Doug gave us a great review.
We’re very glad he did, because the Motor Works crew has been a blast to work with. One of Marty’s niche businesses is the repair of classic cars and this site features an impressive collection of stories about classic car repairs. The classic car section is a must visit for car nerds; honestly some of these photos are breath taking (and I’m not a car nerd!).
The site is an ExpressionEngine 2 install that has a bit of jquery goodness to help things along. In addition to the site redesign, Marty has entrusted us with his search engine optimization and pay-per-click ad management.
