Megan Stratford’s book release website launches.

bigshifter · September 15, 2022 ·

Megan Stratford, a published writer was in midst of releasing her latest book called “Berth.” This book of poetry was about to hit the market and she needed a website up quickly that people could go to that reflected her artistry and creativity.

MeganStratford.com Website

APPROACH

After the initial meeting with Megan, Big Shifter determined to create a website within the short proposed timeline and create a design that reflected the book’s design and the poetry found within it.

SOLUTION

Squarespace was the best solution for the scope of the project. Big Shifter set up the template and implemented branding colors, fonts, and layouts. Once the design was complete, we worked with Megan to merge the content with the design. Later on in the project, it was decided to bring the continuous line art found in the book as a design element for the website. At the last minute, for one reason or another, the domain name wasn’t available that was previously registered. We couldn’t get into the account. So we scrambled and found that megastratfor.com was available and Big Shifter quickly bought the domain for Megan and configured the website to use it. Together we worked hard and the site launched just before the release of the book.

BTW, the book is fantastic, and you can buy it here.

Sodfarm Festival grows a new website for a relaunched annual event

bigshifter · July 1, 2022 ·

The Sodfarm Festival was a staple of local events in Sheridan Wyoming for some time. The event was suspended for a few years but in 2021, a group of people came together to reboot the event for the community in 2022. The branding and graphics were already established but needed a refresh. As well, a new website was envisioned to get the word out about the music festival.

We created a website that would be a new, clean design focused on the event’s non-profit music festival fund-raising messaging.

SOLUTION

We set up a WordPress website on Big Shifter’s Hosting platform that includes nightly backups, code optimization and caching and website monitoring and reporting. We manage the content of the site as well and perform updates as needed.

The Mane Event Website Roars Back To Life With Big Shifter’s Help

bigshifter · April 1, 2022 ·

The Mane Event is a gravel bike event that acts as the main fundraiser for the Sheridan Sundowners Lions Clubโ€™s. Their previous website and branding just weren’t doing enough for the organization to get the word out about their event. Big Shifter met with the Lions Club team and we formulated a plan for a new logo, branding and accompanying website.

APPROACH

Big Shifter met the Sundowners club to talk in detail about what they wanted from their brand and the event itself. Sheridan Wyoming offers some of the best gravel roads to ride on in the United States and the Mane Event Gravel Grinder website needed to reflect this.

SOLUTION

The old site was managed on GoDaddy and was a site that was put together by the organization using their best efforts. Big Shifter proposed hosting the site on the Squarespace CMS platform which would be easier to maintain and provides some out of the box functionality they wanted. In addition Big Shifter provided a new logo and branding guide for the group that will be used for future printing and merchandise.

Tomahawk Pipeline New Website Launch

bigshifter · March 19, 2022 ·

Tomahawk Pipeline Construction was in a pickle. Their old website was not available to them, and they could not get a hold of their old design firm. In time, they were able to get their domain name transferred to them, but they were out of luck with their website and had to start over.

APPROACH

Because the old website was lost, Big Shifter started fresh with Tomahawk Pipeline staff. After a few meetings, it was determined that the site needed to be informational, conservative in its approach, and nothing flashy.

SOLUTION

Big Shifter set up a Squarespace website solution and implemented a design that reflected the desired requirements of the company. Through several meetings, Tomahawk Pipeline staff gave input and feedback to Big Shifter concerning their desired changes. Once those requirements were in place, the site was ready to launch.

Truthfully, if anyone has the right to be frustrated it is the Big Shifter team. We had lots of delays due to personal issues, but Erik was incredibly understanding and patient with us throughout the entire process. I can not imagine things going as smoothly had we worked with someone else.

Roll “N” Rite Doors Launches New Website with Big Shifter Partnership

bigshifter · October 1, 2021 ·

Roll “N” Rite Doors is a commercial and residential sales and service company in Sheridan Wyoming. They have local and regional customers and they needed a website that reflected their current message and branding. To add to the complexity, their previous web developer left town with no forwarding information thus leaving them without a website.

Website: rollnrite.com

Roll “N” Rite Website

APPROACH

After gathering requirements during a kickoff meeting. Big Shifter got to work trying to re-use much of the work that had already been accomplished by the previous website developer. Because the previous website administration area was inaccessible, Big Shifter grabbed as much content from the previously developed site before it ‘went away’ permanently.

SOLUTION

The Squarespace platform was chosen as the Content Management System (CMS) and hosting provider for the site. A new theme was created for the website and content was cleaned up. Pages were merged and many of the content areas were cleaned up to make Roll “N” Rite’s marketing messaging more clear and concise.
