White Lion dances with a new client

March 7th, 2011

If you’ve ever surfed the Internet at a national park, campground or marina – you’ve probably used TengoInternet’s service. They are the largest private wireless network provider to the outdoor hospitality industry.

As the company continues to attract new business, they’ve come to White Lion to build a custom and elegant Web application that will automate and streamline much of the sales process, saving both time and money and reducing errors. Oh, and did I mention that the application must not only be intuitive for sales staff, but also simple to coordinate with their CRM?

TengoInternet currently manages high speed wired and wireless networks for more than 900 RV resorts, campgrounds, hotels and marinas in 49 states, Canada and Mexico.


Team Bonding at the HighBall

March 1st, 2011

Last week, the team here at White Lion rounded up for a friendly bowling competition at the HighBall. Bonding and spending time with co-workers outside of work is what helps keep White Lion a happy, healthy office!

The team cheered me on as I bowled for a chance to win a free HighBall pint glass. My one and only strike of the night came at the perfect time!

Looking forward to the next team outing!

White Lion welcomes a new client

February 28th, 2011

We are super excited to welcome Bury+Partners to our client roster. Bury+Partners is one of the largest and most established engineering firms home grown right here in Austin. (I’m sure you’ve seen their signs on notable developments around town like The Domain and the Mueller redevelopment.)

The firm is growing its regional, national and international presence and needed a new Web identity that closely reflected not only its rich history but also where the company is headed in the future. And despite the company’s track record and website longevity, they are largely invisible to online searches. (Not good!) So, with a goal of improving search engine ranking there’s also an opportunity to raise their industry profile through a contemporary, usability-focused website with refreshed visual identity.

Stay tuned! We’ll let you know once the site launches.

Launching has a whole new meaning

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.

A Good Laugh From My Drive On My Way To Work

February 23rd, 2011

Coming up Mopac South taking the 5th Street exit heading downtown to White Lion, I appreciate the thought El Arroyo puts into their signage.

This morning’s sign had me circle back to take a quick pic.

Cracked me up!!!

The Snow Day Remembered

February 11th, 2011

It’s hard to believe that just recently snow and ice brought most of Austin to a crawl.

Dina, our lead project manager who conveniently lives a stone’s throw from the White Lion World Headquarters, took this shot last Friday as most of us stayed hunkered down working remote.

As we mentioned in an Austin Business Journal article, the snow and ice has certainly seemed to thaw as it relates to the economy. We are really excited about the significant uptick in new custom web design and development opportunities.

As our business heats up so does the weather, as we should see temperatures in the 80s next week. So long snow and ice.

New website launch kicks off the new year

January 23rd, 2011

SCC Development Company (SCC) is an established company with a strong reputation in property development. Clients like Brinker International, Home Depot and Target rely on SCC’s services in states throughout the country.

A need for a more contemporary, usability-focused website with a refreshed visual identity was identified as a crucial element to better illustrate their experience and credibility while highlighting their existing and past projects.

The new website achieves those goals, and includes a Projects section that is completely administrable by the SCC team.
