I have been quite busy here as of late working on a few new sites. First is Youth Sports Now, a Charlottesville based youth sports website focusing on all youth sports in Central Virginia. JS Design was contracted for front end design and will continue on as an online content manager.

I worked extensively on designing the site to be user friendly and have a graphic appeal to both adults and kids. The site has tons of amazing features like a “Virtual Sports Card”, message boards, video and photo galleries, as well as listings on all of the local sports organizations. The site is off to a great start and building a larger following every day.

The site will be the benchmark and testing grounds for future sites in the Youth Sports Now network as Strike One Media branches the site out into other areas.

How important is SEO you might ask? Well if you want someone to find you through a search engine and your business depends on it then it is pretty important. Think about it this way, how much time do you spend in any given day networking and meeting new potential clients? 10 minutes? 1 Hour? [...]

My mother runs a non-profit animal rescue shelter. When she first took over she showed me the website that was a part of the organization. It was, well frankly, quite awful. It had been designed in HTML by someone who had learned HTML before the advent of tables. That goes way back to the 90’s. [...]

How does image sell something? Take a look at almost every piece of advertising on the market and you will see how image sells products.
