Visit Patrick D. West Law Firm

Patrick D. West

Patrick D. West Law Firm is a Dallas/Fort Worth metro area law firm that specializes in bankruptcy and tax litigation for small businesses and individuals. The firm recently came to us to have a complete renovation of their site as well as hosting on Halfslide’s dedicated servers.  Their previous site had a dated layout and wanted to take advantage of new design techniquest that could improve their search engine rankings.  We delivered a new layout to their site as well as optimized content completed by our project managing partner, Renee Harrington.

The new site incorporates a wordpress blog so that the firm can frequently post interesting articles and how-tos on bankruptcy related topics.  Halfslide created a custom template to incorporate the blog into the new site so that navigation between the blog and the rest of the site would be seamless.  See for yourself the new look of Patrick D. West Law Firm here.

Visit Storage Strategy Now

Storage Strategies Now

I recently finished a site for Storage Strategies Now, an industry analyst firm that provides reports and commentary on the technology market.  Storage Strategies Now is located here in Austin, Texas and was founded in 2007 by a well-known storage observer, Deni Connor.

There’s not much to the site itself other than the fact that it was created using php and it uses Adobe’s Contribute technology to allow the client to make updates to the site themselves. I basically put together the layout and used php includes to include small pages of content that the client can update.  This gives the added benefit of allowing the client to update the content on the site without having to worry about disturbing the general layout.  Very cool technology.

Hataday – New Hat Every Day

September 5th, 2007

I recently finished work on hataday.com for a client at JustSports.net. The site functions similarly to Shirtaday in that a new item is put up for sale every single day and only a limited number are available. It’s all based on the woot.com business model. The only difference with this site is that there is no price decline with each item that is purchased. This makes sense as the hats are all pre-ordered so there is no cost decline as with t-shirts.

The site was my first interaction with authorize.net. Overall, I would say that they have a strong product offering. Their developer integration documentation is very rich and their example code covers just about everything you will need to do a full integration. I wasn’t pleased with all the hoops you have to jump through to get started with them though. For example, in order to get a developer account, you have to basically send them an email and they will get back to you in a day or two. With paypal and google, all you do is create an account through their websites and you are off and running. Much simpler and allows you to do everything you need to do without getting help from their support teams.

There weren’t too many suprises with this site and it looks to be a really good front-end for justsports.net. Let’s hope they can get some traffic flowing to the site through all of the deal of the day sites so that they can be successful.
