Award Winning Site Cuts the Cake

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

White Lion’s teamwork with Rawle Murdy has produced another award winning site: www.ka-bar.com — a leading manufacturer of high quality military, hunting, sporting, all-purpose utility, and outdoor survival knives. Previous engagements with Rawle Murdy include the Cabin Bluff website, as well as plans for mobile versions of some other sites.

Rawle Murdy’s outstanding reputation is backed by several awards from the American Advertising Federation and South Carolina Public Relations Society of America. Their work has been recognized by PRWeek, Communication Arts, the American Marketing Association and the Public Relations Society of America.

As the design and marketing house, Rawle Murdy provided White Lion with the blueprints to build the new site for KA-BAR. The agency leaned on White Lion for its deep bench of programming talent and expertise in building custom, conversion-focused ecommerce. The site features full ecommerce functionality with back-end tools for managing products and content throughout the site.

KA-BAR was a Communication Arts webpick in January. The award is for KA-BAR’s outstanding example of Web design selected on a combination of superior aesthetics, technical expertise, functionality and overall site experience.

Since recently launching the site, KA-BAR has enjoyed their highest sales month on record in November.

The End of 2011 Draws Near…

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

…but before it does, we want to announce some new website launches.

First up is Live Oak-Gottesman (www.liveoak.com).  The design is simply stellar, and the site is really easy for visitors to quickly find properties in the portfolio or available spaces.  And as intuitive and cool the Available Space section is for users on the front business end of the website, it’s equally as easy-to-use for their team when updating content using the content management tools.

Second up is Heritage Title of Austin (www.heritagetitleofaustin.com).  The site features a sleek new design with a highly intuitive navigation organizing a bunch of information.  And be sure to check out the newly designed Residential Calculators.  We love taking something like a calculator form and making it attractive and very easy to use.

So bring on 2012 already.  The White Lion team is ready to hit the ground running with some great new websites.

New website for Austin real estate firm, Live Oak Gottesman, has launched

Friday, November 18th, 2011

Live Oak Gottesman is an Austin-based commercial real estate firm who owns and manages assets exceeding seven million square feet across all sub-markets and property types.  They chose White Lion to redesign their website to better represent their fresh, modern presence in the commercial real estate world.

The result is a clean, new interface that allows users to easily browse Live Oak’s vast portfolio, quickly search for available space, and find who to contact for information in just a few clicks.

Not only did White Lion create a great experience for Live Oak’s clients, the expert back-end developers created smart, easy tools to enable the Live Oak team to manage their property database.  What used to be a multi-step, time consuming process has been culled down to an easy, one stop content management system.

Live Oak Gottesman launched their new site on November 15, and their clients couldn’t be happier.

The newly designed Bury+Partners website goes live this week!

Friday, October 7th, 2011

Bury+Partners is a nationally recognized leader in engineering design, land planning and landscape architecture. This year they asked White Lion to help redesign their website to better showcase their broad range of experience and vast project portfolio.

The Goal: To show visitors who Bury+Partners is, what they stand for, and what they do.

The Result: A beautiful website that seamlessly showcases the services Bury has to offer, the markets they serve, and information on over 200 projects.

With such a large number of projects and so many services and markets to link them to, White Lion was challenged to build a custom content management tool to allow the Bury team to easily manage such a vast amount of information. And to do so without the need to know any programming whatsoever.

The resulting interface allows anyone from their team to manage over 900 pieces of content in a simple, easy-to-use system.

Bury+Partners launched their new website on October 3 and the community feedback has been outstanding!

A new website for the West Austin Youth Association

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

The West Austin Youth Association has been providing 30 fun sport activities to over 5,000 kids for more than 30 years!  Each year their organization grows and fills up more teams!

This year White Lion and WAYA teamed up to create a user-friendly interface that allows online registration for all programs, camps, events, and membership.  Members can log in and filter their kids’ current activities and what they are eligible for as well.  It’s a quick way for parents to fill up their kids’ schedules with fun in no time at all!

The site boasts over 11 different forms, 17 content management sections and 50 plus pages.  With such a large site, White Lion’s development team made it easy for members and non-members alike to find what they are looking for with mega DHTML menus and a chunky footer.  We also provide a program and camp filter tool that lets parents easily find the qualified activity for their children.

WAYA unveiled their new site on Monday July 18th, and has increased their membership by twenty families in just the first few days!

Where the Livin’ is Easy

Friday, July 8th, 2011

This is White Lion’s second partnership with Tarantino Properties.

This time we’ve develop a new site for NewForest Estates Senior Living.  The main objective of this project was to make the site warm and friendly…some things the old site fell short on.

We designed a look and feel for the site that really focused on the community and the activities and services they have to offer.

The new site we designed for NewForest…

And here’s what they had previously…

Helping a global site feel neighborly

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Toppan Photomasks Inc. knows what is important to their clients and prospects and wanted a site to reflect their advanced technology, attention to detail and amazing customer service.

White Lion designed and developed a site where a user gets a warm first impression, and then seconds after navigating the site, understand Toppan to be a premier photomask company.

Showcasing Toppan’s many global sales and manufacturing centers, White Lion built an administrable location section that uses a global map with pin points for each of their locations. When a user drills into the map, they can access a detail page with related staff photos, history timeline, and information on what is manufactured at that location. It provides a clean and fun way to really get to know each location and the people that work there.

And for those that aren’t as technically savvy with photomask terminology, dynamic glossary tool tips that have the intelligence to associate with synonyms and acronyms can be found within the content for fast answers to your questions.

White Lion is proud of this site that uses state of the art technology to make a global company feel neighborly!

New Site Launch for Dallas/Ft. Worth Law Firm

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Check out the new site we’ve recently launched for Rogers, LLP. Rogers, LLP is a commercial litigation law firm providing hands-on service and personal attention for businesses and landowners in Parker, Tarrant and surrounding counties.

The old website just fell short in projecting the the right image for the firm. The new White Lion-designed site features a clean layout with great imagery, a concise overview of the firm, and attorney call-outs to draw visitors deeper into the site.

Here’s the site we designed for them…

Launching has a whole new meaning

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Our long standing client of over 8 years, Halton Hall & Associates, wanted a new look to highlight their aviation insurance differentiators. Our team went to work!

Depicting a broad range of airplanes and helicopters in an engaging home page slideshow and throughout the site, our team created a visually enticing and streamlined experience. Our team of expert designers also established a new logo to help set the groundwork for their branding.

When Halton Hall was ready to launch they weren’t just talking about their clients launching their aircraft, we helped them launch a brand new beautiful, content rich, and engaging website.
