CULP DESIGN NEWS

July 2008
On a personal note, I volunteered to work on a Star Wars fan site called The Force.net and was selected out of over 20 people to assist with the redsign of their Fan Art Museum section. Most of the back end re-organization is complete and the new section should be live sometime in August 2008.

June 2008
It has been about a year since Culp Design has posted any news or updates. The studio has been lucky to very busy, so here is what we have been up to lately...  We have a new logo, check it out above. Special thanks to Andrew at AM Graphix for the design. Most projects have been web based, or have had parts that were web. I am still doing some identity, branding and print work, but the focus on web is noticable for sure.

Culp Design has completed over 14 new web sites this past year, here are some highlights:

• Culp Design recently completed the website redesign for the Faber Rangehoods United States office in Wayland, MA. The previous site was a few years old and was hard to update and maintain. Most of the site was made up of images of text and that was not good. Culp Design worked closely with Faber to update the design, overhaul the navigation as well as apply some SEO techniques. We also implimented a Flash-based photo gallery to showcase all the wonderful models in some spectacular kitchen settings. The redesign has been a hit and the site has averaged over 300 hits per day since its launch a few months ago. Culp Design Partner, AM Graphix, assisted with Flash programming.
  
  
• Monitouch HMI hired Culp Design to re-design their web site, which went live October 2007. They required a new site design, a navigation overhaul and quite a bit of special technology. A PHP based database system was installed to organize and maintain their database of hardware and software products, which also had the ability to be searchable by visitors to the site. Working with their sales team, a Flash-based banner system was custom made to showcase the 6 major features of their products.  We also installed an online helpdesk for tech support and a mailing list database for the sales team. Culp Design Partners, AM Graphix, assisted with the custom Flash programming, and Info Haven Productions assisted with PHP programming.
  
  
• Culp Design has completed 4 other website redesigns this past year for existing clients.  Culp Design had originally designed the first 3 of these sites about 4 years ago, and all the clients were looking for a fresh, new look as well as new technology options to enhance their sites.
  
  – Daedalus Projects: Overall custom Flash programming with a Flash-based photo gallery to showcase projects.  Flash is XML driven so client can make their own updates to written content and photos.
  – Miller Environmental, Inc.: The new design was combined with an osCommerce shopping cart.
  – Ronald Wilson Photography: The new design included a Flash-based photo gallery and an osCommerce shopping cart.
  – Higher Education Assistance Group: Culp Design was hired not only to redesign their web site but to also design a new logo.  We also added a Flash-based slide show to enhance the new site.

And here is a list of other sites and projects we have completed over the past year.

Check back soon, as Culp Design has been hired by the Dean Hall Construction, Two Guys Fossils, Peter Fletcher Certified Soil Scientist and Milton Jacobs Safety Speaker for a variety of new web site solutions.
