Vicky Riggs has been a long time Arranging Pixels client and recently she became Green Certified by the National Association of Realtors.

This was a perfect time for Vicky to rebrand and launch her new green initiatives.  We designed a Green Logo, new Business cards, website and emailStationery.

Take a look at Vicky’s awesome new site with IDX from Wolfnet Technologies and their MapTracksSM map based property search.

Arranging Pixels presents a new Orlando Website CFLIS.com

apblog_cflis

We’re very pleased to announce the launch of the new Central Florida Insurance School’s website.  The Central Florida Insurance School has been around for a very long time.  They boast an impressive completion and test success rate because of their approach to learning.  Traditionally insurance is a pretty dry subject but the instructions at CFLIS make learning fun.  In an age when many schools are closing their doors and offering cheaper online classes, CFLIS is still offering a classroom environment where people learn best.

CFLIS provides the state required pre-licensing classes as well as continuing education classes and programs.  Visit the new CFLIS.com to learn more and start your insurance career.

Just in time for the holidays www.CentralFloridaChildrensHome.org

The launch of www.CentralFloridaChildrensHome.org could not come at a more important time.  The CFCH needs your help- in raising funds the last few weeks of 2009.  The Central Florida Childrens Home is a non-profit organization that provides a loving home to children and siblings.

Arranging Pixels has worked with the CFCH in the past on the GolfForTheChildren.org website and hopes to be able to work with them again in the future.  They are such a great organization and we’re very excited to be able to work with them to support their mission.

5 Tips for Choosing the Right Domain Name

istock_000000738710large

Nearly every day I come to work I help someone choose a domain name… to most people choosing their domain name is a daunting task, here are some tips that will help you to choose the best domain name for you and your business:

  1. Avoid using your name. When you first start out you name is not well known- sure Tom Cruise could get away with www.TomCruise.com, but until you achieve such fame stick with a more descriptive name.
  2. Keep the spelling simple. Avoid using numbers in place of words.
  3. Never trust your domain to a .net, .info, or .biz. Chances are if you customer is working from memory they will visit the .com site instead- driving traffic to a competitor or a non-existent site.
  4. Pick a domain name that describes what you do or your unique value proposition. Consider adding adjectives to the domain if your first choice is not available. For example many people want OrlandoHomes.com, but how about TopOrlandoHomes.com- this domain is just as good.
  5. Hire us! Building your online presence is one of the most important things you can do, and starting off on the wrong foot can be very expensive. Before you print your first order of business cards you should have chosen a domain name you’ll be proud of for years to come.

Simply Beautiful- SimplyFloridaRealEstate.com

Arranging Pixels is very proud to announce the launch of www.SimplyFloridaRealEstate.com a brand new real estate website for Vanessa and Jaime Barnes.  Vanessa and Jaime are REALTORS® in Celebration Florida and have helped dozens of families find their dream homes.

Vanessa began consulting with Arranging Pixels a few months ago to help find a new domain name to build a solid brand on.  While many people feel that all the good domain names are taken, Vanessa and AP took the challenge and secured SimplyFloridaRealEstate.com!

After the domain was chosen the design team worked with Vanessa to develop a new logo and other marketing materials to launch the new brand.

Once Vanessa got her new logo and business cards she could not wait to get started on the website design.  Vanessa worked hard on the content of her previous template website but she wanted a website that stood out from the rest.  That’s when our creative team got to work…

The new website was built completely from scratch and integrates some great 3rd party tools, like a WordPress blog and an IDX solution from WolfNet Technologies, LLC.   The property search function of SimplyFloridaRealEstate.com features a completely customized version of MapTracksSM map based MLS search.

We are very proud of this new site and are looking forward to seeing huge success for Vanessa and Jaime’s real estate empire!
