Partner Case Study
Roger That
Scribe Media
Scribe Media is an industry leader in self-publishing and has made it easier than ever for thought leaders to turn their ideas into a professionally published book. They already had a beautiful design that was conversion focused, and needed a website development that performed as beautifully as it was designed.
Problems We Solved
Scribe needed a CMS architecture that would support their rapid expansion, but without the over abundance of options that a page builder has, that also kept page load speed at the forefront of importance. We leveraged SCSS tricks, BEM-inspired markup and nifty Advanced Custom Fields features to keep things as lean as possible, while providing a site that grows with their business.
Interactive Extras
Subtle and elegant animations are peppered throughout the site, giving it an “app-like” feel. Using Wista for all their video embeds, we ensured there was native integration using Wistia’s API to allow for video embeds of all varieties, from backgrounds, to popup, to inline. Users will also find seamless integration between Gravity Forms and Calendly.
Scribe Book School
Scribe continues to expand and grow its client base and its offerings. Their latest effort is a completely free online course for publishing your own book.
Problems We Solved
Scribe realized they needed a custom site with and Integrated Learning Management System (LMS) that would give them total control over the user experience and design. The end result is a perfect blend of their signature design style merged with WordPress’ LearnDash platform.
Onymos
Onymos has a unique product which can assist app developers in deploying feature-rich apps with a “low code” solution called Fabric.
Problems We Solved
Onymos previously had a site that was built using an off-the-shelf WordPress “page builder”. While it got the job done, it was still limiting and clunky. We embraced the new WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) in all it’s glory and created a CMS that is contemporary, dynamic and on-brand.
Interactive Extras
Animation and interactivity wasn’t high on the list for the Onymos team, but we still added some polish with on-scroll animations and a fun(ctional) Resources Toolbar.
Hawk Partners
Hawk Partners is a nationwide Market Research company that works with major brands to devise successful marketing strategies.
Problems We Solved
Having already done a website with Roger That, they decided they were ready for round two! We moved them from an ACF “Flex Rows” deployment over to the new Block Editor and leveled up their game across the board.
Interactive Extras
Scroll animations are peppered throughout the site, along with a vertical progress bar that gives you a visual indicator of how much is left to read on a page.
KnowMeIQ
KnowMeIQ is a customer experience, unified communications, sales and marketing platform with an integrated CRM.
Interactive Extras
The homepage overview includes a “sticky” scroll that showcases the major features of the platform while simultaneously swapping the navigation out temporarily for a seamless transition through the homepage.
Center for Evidence-based Policy
The Center for Evidence-based Policy provides analyzed information to help state, federal and local policymakers shape better decisions around healthcare.
Problems We Solved
Speed and performance were the most important priorities for this highly professional site. We leaned on the Block Editor and utilized our custom framework to enable conditional asset loading on a per-block basis, meaning the only assets that are loaded are the ones that are needed. The end result: nearly perfect scores on GTMetrix + PageSpeed Insights, and load times under 400ms!
Magnataur
Being in the industry of high-tech cloud technology services and digital security, Magnataur was looking for a site that would convey the same knowledge and prowess that they bring to their clients.
Problems We Solved
The new site design was going to be more “out of the box” than most, and allowed us to lean on more contemporary web design tools and tricks to ensure the site translated in an equally impressive manner to all devices.
Interactive Extras
Smooth on-scroll animations round out an eclectic design, along with a mesmerizing animation for their Business Agility services page.
EveryCat
The Winn Feline Foundation was looking to overhaul their entire foundation’s brand. Roger That teamed up with them to start from scratch, reworking everything from their company name to logo, to copy, to design.
Problems We Solved
EveryCat had a massive library of content that needed to be imported from a proprietary content management system and organized and merged with a new architecture. We left no tool unutilized to create one of the largest WordPress content frameworks we’ve done, providing EveryCat an open-source platform that will serve the organizations for years to come.
Pareto Cyber
Pareto wanted to refresh their website to stand out from the crowd in the cybersecurity industry. Roger That created a beautiful, bold design that we transformed into a dynamic and highly flexible WordPress site that will adapt to their business’ future evolution.
Problems We Solved
Since Pareto’s business is in a rapid growth phase, they needed a platform that would be essentially limitless, but keep them on brand. We leveraged a page builder for the whole site, ensuring their website would always match up to their business growth.
Oregon MESA
Oregon MESA helps students improve test scores and achieve higher graduation rates. Their old website was not able to showcase the tremendous work they’ve been accomplishing over the years, and also needed to expand significantly to support their ongoing programs.
Problems We Solved
Like many educational institutions, Oregon MESA needed a CMS that would be fairly “open ended” to support their expanding programs, but easy enough where anybody internally could manage it. Using a custom theme and a page builder, we turned over a WordPress site that makes managing the site a breeze.
AirCFO
A startup in the bay area, AirCFO has been growing by leaps and bounds, and felt ready for the next phase in their digital property.
Problems We Solved
AirCFO’s already had a WordPress site that they were managing themselves, but it was clunky, limiting, and not reflective of their brand. We deployed a WordPress site using Flexible Content that allowed for a site that could grow, while keeping them highly focused and on-brand.
Taylor Wealth Management
Louis Taylor had been in the finance business for quite a while and was familiar with the traditional marketing approach, but he wanted to stand out from the many other wealth advisors in his industry.
Interactive Extras
Interactivity abounds on this site, and we deployed a variety of SVG based animations, with something a little different on each page, culminating in an experience that is friendly and playful, yet still highly refined and professional.
The Reser Family Foundation
Reser’s Fine Foods is a household brand for pre-made dips, side dishes and more. They love their home state of Oregon and their desire to help its communities inspired them to form the The Reser Family Foundation, which makes charitable financial contributions to education, health, arts, and the environment.
Problems We Solved
In addition to having “flexible content rows”, which allow for on the fly page creation using pre-defined and styled row types, the Reser Family Foundation also needed a Cross-Filter Grant Search, an interactive Grant Calendar and an integrated Donation Form.
Interactive Extras
Elegant rollovers, fade-in page transitions and a unique animated logo bring a polished feel to the site that engages users and creates an air of professionalism and credibility.
Vision Action Network
Vision Action Network had a site that was from the early 2000’s and was outdated in every definition, including being difficult to update and thus also having outdated information. They wanted their new site to be visually impressive and easy to update…but not break the bank.
Problems We Solved
We deployed a Flexible Content configuration that allows VAN to build pages using “rows” and opens up a whole world of creative possibilities. In fact, this site does not use page templates of any kind…every page is dynamically generated.
Interactive Extras
Fun background animations and hover treatments for various content rows are strewn throughout the site, giving it a polish and visual edge that separate it from the plethora of “off the shelf” templates that most non-profits use for their websites.
To The Point Collaborative
Coming from an off-the-shelf WordPress theme that had little to no design or branding consistency, To The Point Collaborative was overjoyed at the prospect of a custom theme that stood out amongst their competitors. Roger That delivered, as they usually do, and produced a design that is unconventional yet intuitive.
Problems We Solved
We knew once we saw the homepage design that it was going to be a challenge to make sure the experience was consistent across the wide variety of screen sizes available nowadays. We leaned on Flexbox to create a fluid formatted design that accommodated screen sizes from small phones to 30″ monitors.
Interactive Extras
The designer was excited about the prospect of adding some kind of animation or interactivity to the homepage, but had no idea what. In fact, her words were “just do something cool.” We got creative and implemented animation that detects the user’s mouse movement and alters the image as you scroll, giving the homepage an immersive effect.
FiveOaks Museum
A museum that focuses on native cultures, gender equality and the local arts of the Tualatin Valley, FiveOaks was ready to evolve online, with a website that was going to be visually compelling and unique, but could also grow effortlessly with their expanding Exhibitions and Events.
Problems We Solved
Since page builders were going to be too heavy handed, we deployed a combination of Flexible Content and Custom Templates that would allow for content management that was highly tailored to their specific needs and concerns around content management.
