Bulletproof Architecture

A pretty site is great but if it is slow or doesn't render well on all platforms customers will move on to a site that works whenever and wherever they are - mobile phone, laptop, desktop or tablet. The website architecture that we incorporate into every site makes sure that your site performs just as good as it looks.

Look Good

Designed for Any Purpose – Every template design supports all major content types, including Pages, Galleries, Blogs, Commerce, Calendars, and more.

Gallery Blocks – Gallery Blocks can be added anywhere on your website and offer hundreds of presentation variations, including slideshows, sliders, grid layouts, and more. Integrated lightbox functionality allows for full-browser-sized imagery.

Modern Templates – Each template design is created with modern browsers and mobile devices in mind, and employ the latest HTML, CSS and Javascript techniques.

Display Effects – Each gallery offers multiple lightweight hover and transition effects.

 

Progressive Image Loading – We ensure images on the top of a page load first, making your website faster and more responsive to visitors.

Video in Galleries – All gallery collections allow for mixed media presentations, including video and audio content in addition to images in the same gallery.

 

Get Social

Easy Importing – Pull in content from Twitter, Foursquare, Instagram, 500px, or Flickr directly into any page, sidebar, or footer of your site.

OpenTable Blocks – Add an OpenTable block to any page, so visitors can make a reservation for your restaurant directly from your website.

Socially Connected – Link accounts from Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, Dropbox, Foursquare, Github, Instagram, Flickr, Youtube, Vimeo, Linkedin, Dribbble, Pinterest, SoundCloud, or 500px.

 

Facebook Page Integration – Connect to Facebook pages to easily push entire pages of content into the Facebook platform.

Social Links – Easily display social network profile links, letting your visitors follow you on every major network. A variety of presentation styles help keep your site design consistent.

Connect with Customers

Forms – The incredibly robust Form Block supports over 15 different data types, such as addresses, currency, emails, and text fields, making it easy to capture data from your site visitors.

Build a Mailing List – Build a mailing list on MailChimp using the Form Block integration. 

Save submitted form info to Google Docs, MailChimp or Email – Save form submissions to Google Docs, MailChimp, and/or email. Google Docs will be updated in real-time as submissions are entered.
