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.

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 Club’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.

bigshifter · November 23, 2021 ·

The Dead Swede is a gravel bike event in northern Wyoming in a small city named Sheridan. Over the years the event has become a nationally popular event with riders coming from all over the country. They asked Big Shifter to update their website to deliver a more professional and organized message to their participants.

APPROACH

Big Shifter met with John and Jordan at Black Tooth Brewery in Sheridan Wyoming to discuss what they were looking for in a new website. Discussions ranged from branding and design to their competitors and future aspirations for the event. Big Shifter put a plan in action and submitted those ideas to them and it was decided to move forward with the project.

SOLUTION

The old site was managed on GoDaddy and was a bit difficult to manage and there was very old content on the site as well which needed to be replaced. Big Shifter proposed hosting the site on the Squarespace CMS platform. We brought in fresh imagery, authored new content, and gave the website a more clear message to its users.

Big Shifter launches a new website for The Camerata Singers nonprofit organization

bigshifter · October 15, 2021 ·

Camerata Singers of Goshen Indiana is a dedicated group of vocal artists that “…is a professional choral ensemble, offering captivating programming and world-class singing to its audiences. They approached Big Shifter a few years ago to update their aging website with a new and fresh design. Their aging site was not representing their brand well and was not mobile device friendly.

Website: thecameratasingers.org

The Camerata Singers New Website

APPROACH

After gathering requirements during a kickoff meeting. Big Shifter got to work meeting with the Camerata Singers staff to flesh out the imagery and content for the site. There was an organization rename and re-branding effort in the works as well and Bigshifter led with many ideas for the site. But what we weren’t ready for was the COVID issue. The Camerata Singers 2020 season was canceled and therefore the site project was put on hold.

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 the Camerata Singer staff had input on the site branding and its content. Big Shifter held several workshop meetings with the client to teach them how to manage content, organize imagery and manage their events. We launched the site just before their Fall 2021 season and the site was a hit with the organization and its patrons.
