New Site Launch: Repositioning Lynch Sales

20 December 07

Fusionary unveils a new online look for the Lynch Sales Company. With technical enhancements and a renewed brand image, Lynch solidifies its position as a leading sales resource for furniture retailers within the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

Working with our client’s management team, we established a new creative direction which aligns the site with their new identity, elevates their corporate presence, and strengthens the bond with customers. The contemporary new design revitalizes the face of the company while preserving the heritage and legacy that lie at the heart of Lynch’s success.

Behind the scenes, Fusionary brought the site into compliancy with current web development standards, making it more accessible to search engines and improving its scalability over time. The implementation of a new content management system also allows Lynch staff to more easily and cost-effectively manage changes to the site’s content.

The new site is already garnering positive responses from both the client and their visitors. Take a closer look at www.lynchsales.com... and give us a call if we can be of any help to you!

Project Launch: KDL.org - Go Ahead! Judge a Book by Its Cover

08 October 07

Fusionary is very pleased to announce the launch of a newly redesigned site for our client, Kent District Library (KDL). The new design makes using the site a much better experience for visitors and staff alike.

Cool new features you won’t want to miss include interactive recommended reading lists for virtual browsing with book detail summaries and catalog and purchase links. The site also includes a new blog, RSS feeds and a powerful search engine for books and site content. A fresh look and purposeful site architecture means users can quickly find answers to their questions.

In addition, Fusionary helped KDL administrative staff gain greater control over their content and reduce maintenance costs through a customized content management system.

Bryan Lewis sums up the difference: “It comes down to good design, a clean interface and a strong build. KDL’s new site is ten times the experience for end users and only requires a fraction of the time to maintain.” You can’t beat that!

Project Launch: npgoodpracticeguide.org and grantmakingschool.org

16 July 07

We’re very pleased to announce the launch of two new websites created for the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership at Grand Valley State University. Both sites were designed by Fusionary.

The first is the Nonprofit Good Practice Guide—an online encyclopedia offering extensive resources and information to people in nonprofit organizations.

The second site was done for The Grantmaking School—highlighting the education and training opportunities they provide to grantmakers throughout the country.

We worked on the sites concurrently, meeting with Grantmaking School and Guide staff to explore and define the overall objectives for each site, identifying the most effective way to meet the needs of their target audiences.

The Fusionary team led information, interaction and visual design for each of the sites, while the technical implementation was handled by GVSU and third-party resources working from our XHTML templates and stylesheets.

Launch the sites:

On this day in 1995, Fusionary Media was incorporated.

Twelve years.

That’s how long it takes for a ray of light to reach the Earth from the star Vega.

That’s how long it takes for whiskey to mature.

That’s how long it takes for a pearl to form.

Twelve years.

Happy anniversary and many thanks to all of our clients and colleagues.
