Inclement Weather / Holiday Schedule

Hi everyone. I wanted to take a moment to update you on our office status during the inclement weather we’ve been having here in the Northwest lately. Workshed’s policy is typically to follow the school closures in Camas. When we close due to inclement weather, we generally telecommute and are available to answer questions via e-mail.

Additionally, Workshed will be CLOSED during the following dates:

  • Wednesday, December 24 – Friday, December 26
  • Thursday, January 1

Happy holidays to everyone!

Join us for our First Friday Launch Party!

On Friday, December 5, Workshed will be celebrating the launch of a new web site for our clients at Jonesy’s Auto Restoration. The new Jonesy’s site allows them to share their work with the world, communicate with their clients via private project blogs, invoice and receive payment for their customer work online and manage their web site content all through a custom-built CMS based on our Pegboard platform.

Everyone’s welcome to attend. You can find out more about Jonesy’s, about the work we do and you can enjoy some live music from local indie act, Hellokopter. Did we mention the free snacks and drinks?

The event starts at 5:30 and goes until 8 p.m.

See you there!

New Product: SimpleSites

New Product: SimpleSites

simplesites.jpgIt’s no secret that people are holding onto their money right now. Things are downright scary out there. Whether businesses are doing well or not, they are being cautious about spending money, with good reason. But they still need to market and have a web presence. When times are tough, the businesses that can still keep their name out there are the ones who will survive.

Recognizing a shifting market in a down economy, Workshed has decided to work with businesses and make a great, custom-designed web site, complete with content management tools and a blog, all the more accessible—all without breaking the bank.

Enter SimpleSites, our entry-level web presence solution. We design the site tailored to your business brand and style, we build out your pages, perform a basic search engine optimization and submission, then turn it loose for you to enter your content and go to town. We even provide a solid and affordable hosting platform for a reasonable monthly fee.

So, you may ask, why should you get a SimpleSite when you can get a template site for really cheap?

Simple: This isn’t a template site. It’s a custom design, done by an award winning creative agency that knows the web and how to design and build web sites. We’ve been able to streamline our process to make this product offering at a sigificantly reduced cost compared to a completely custom web site solution. Best of all, it’s built on a platform that is already search engine friendly right out of the box. Oh, and did I mention you can update your content at any time using an intuitive, web-based content management tool? We also probably didn’t mention that, depending on schedule and client turnaround times, we can complete your SimpleSite in as fast as one week.

Contact us for pricing information. We have some lovely, flexible payment plans at your disposal.

Fool the economy—stay in the minds of your customers by keeping it simple.

Just Launched: Zookbinders.com

Workshed is proud to announce the launch of another new web site, this time for Zookbinders, a manufacturer of quality, hand-made photo albums for professional photographers. We programmed the site build out and programming on behalf of our Seattle agency partners, SDM Marketing and PBR Design, who did an amazing job on the marketing direction, graphic design, creative direction and content.

The site makes use of several current technologies, such as AJAX, Javascript/jQuery, PHP, MySQL and Flash. The site also makes use of our own content management tool, Pegboard, so the client can keep their content up-to-date without the need for a web developer.

We’ll have refreshments and representatives from Lacamas Community Credit Union will be on-hand as well. We look forward to seeing you there!
