Rick designed a new one-page site for Delta: http://singbecauseyoucare.com

The site, hosted by Palmerworks Design, is an ad for a four-day Karaoke fundraiser, “Sing Because You Care,” which raised $2655.25 for the local Wayne-Westland Corps of The Salvation Army. The event was organized and hosted by employees of Delta Air Lines and Wayne County Airport Authority.

The original art for the banner was provided by Gordie Roedeing.

The new site for the Set Medics is ready: http://911setmedics.com. We used the logo we designed, with a tagline that the guys wanted, and they worked out to be a great combo.

Good digital photos are an integral piece of the web design process. Unfortunately, it was difficult to get the crew together for some good shots to use on the site. They all work completely different shifts. Luckily, the medics had a firefighter buddy who is also a really good photographer, and they were able to coordinate schedules for a quick photo session.

The photos turned out well, and we used them as inspiration for the rest of the site development. I decided to make the navigation bar out of a film strip graphic, and coordinated the site background with the brown in the photos. Using a photo of the team that has a bit of red at the top — which matched the red in the banner — brought it all together into a cohesive look.

We also created a blog for the set medics. The next Palmerworks Design blog will discuss integrating a blog into your site, an especially important element of search engine optimization.
