Country Music Artist Amanda Nagurney Gets a New Website Design From Nashville Interactive

Chris Bradshaw — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:52:06 +0000

Nashville Interactive recently launched a fresh website redesign for country music artist Amanda Nagurney. Amanda needed a website that reflected her maturing career and that could be updated easily. The solution was a self-hosted, open-source content management system. This means that Amanda controls her own website and doesn't have to worry about being locked-in to proprietary software which often involve fairly hefty fees for hosting, ongoing maintenance and licensing. We're very proud of this one turned out. A great example of a self-managed musician website design that is flexible and allows for easy content management. Check out Amanda's new site at amandanagurney.com

Nashville Interactive is proud to present elliotroot.com for your viewing pleasure. ER is a great up and coming group with "roots" (pun semi-intended) in Kenosha Wisconsin. These guys are not your typical Nashville artists. Great music so visit the site and have a listen (and check out the design while you're there).

INBodied Living Website Design Launches

Chris Bradshaw — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:00:28 +0000

INBodied Living is a website dedicated to your well being. I could try to explain it but I thought I'd just let them do the talking. From inbodiedliving.com:

InBodied Living is a national collective of multi-disciplinary experts who have joined together to offer a range of integrative services, events, seminars and consulting engagements that help individuals, groups and organizations learn how to live and lead more consciously – or “InBodied.”

Nashville Interactive performed the website development on this project based on design comps provided by the client. The site has a ton of great information and many excellent resources with much more to come.

beBELMONT Website Design Launches

Chris Bradshaw — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:00:13 +0000

Nashville Interactive recently designed, developed and launched bebelmont.com. A website that helps students, alumni and faculty of Belmont University tell their real-world stories. The site has some really great features including ajax-based post sorting on the submissions page, a nice carousel of recent posts on the home page and a robust submission form allowing users to submit their stories, photos, videos and audio files. The website is one of the primary focal points of the beBELMONT campaign which will include TV, billboards, print and online advertising. Check it out at bebelmont.com.

2010 Recap, 2011 Goals

Chris Bradshaw — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 17:42:06 +0000

Perhaps a bit late, but in light of the great year that has just passed, we thought that a short recap and a quick run down of Nashville Interactive's goals for 2011 is in order. First of all, thanks to all the great clients that helped Nashville Interactive have a great 2010. We had the opportunity to work on over three dozen web projects including websites for Diddy, Rajon Rondo, Kenny Perry, Justin McBride and too many more to list here. The Nashville Interactive website design portfolio was beefed up quite a bit in 2010 and we hope to have the same success in 2011. While not all of the goals that were set for 2010 were met, the large percentage were (but if you meet all of your goals, you're not setting your sights high enough).

We won't bore you with all of the company goals for 2011, but we can say that they include a website redesign of NashvilleInteractive.com, growing the business (of course) and providing a much more robust offering of website design services and marketing & advertising services for our new and existing clients.

The Trifecta Week: B-ball, Fashion and Gardening

Chris Bradshaw — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 14:41:10 +0000

This week marks the launch of three websites which Nashville Interactive has played an integral role in. We were lucky enough to be involved in the development of NBA star Rajon Rondo's new website, as well as the design and development of TaiganFinds.com – a blog devoted to finding that great online boutique shopping deal – and design and development of SmartGrow.us – a site where users can purchase organic growing materials (made of human hair!).

While Nashville Interactive can't take credit for the sleek design on Rajon's new site, we're still proud to have been able to perform the build via an open-source content management system to help assist the record-breaking Star. The site has some great features for fans with more to come in the near future as well. Check it out at www.rajonrondo9.com.

Taigan Finds is a blog that features fashion news, style trends and great shopping finds at Taigan.com – an online shopping site with exclusive access to high-end boutique retailers. Nashville Interactive worked closely with the Taigan marketing department to produce TaiganFinds.com. A site that looks and feels as refined as the boutique shops which it features. The blog features some great social network integration to help aggregate content more effectively.

If you're into gardening, plants and Mother Earth, you'll want to check out SmartGrow.us. SmartGrow is a line of organic growing products made from human hair! I know, It may sound a bit icky at first but if you think about where most other traditional fertilizers come from (think cow pastures), it's really not bad at all. Plus the product is 100% all-natural and biodegradable. Nashville Interactive provided a much needed face lift to the SmartGrow site as well as a fully integrated online store to improve the buying experience. Ecommerce website design and development is almost essential these days as more and more users flock to their computers to handle their shopping needs.

So all-in-all a very busy week (and several weeks leading up to it). There's much more website design on the horizon so stay tuned by subscribing to the NI RSS feed or by signing up for email updates.

Teach Them Well – School Volunteers Website Launches

Chris Bradshaw — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 04:00:30 +0000

The children are our future. Teach them well and let them… benefit from your volunteer activities. Nashville Interactive recently designed and performed a large portion of the front-end build for the newly launched schoolvolunteers.org. The site is a tool used by volunteers and coordinators to log and track hours as well as for posting and finding new volunteer opportunities. The target demographic for this particular website design dictated that the site have a very quick load time while retaining a professional and branded look. The site uses sparse and well optimized images and relies on web-safe fonts and css backgrounds for most of the design. The target users are also almost exclusively using various versions of Internet Explorer, including our old friend IE6. This meant that backward compatibility was a must for this project. The site is a great resource for a great cause and will be a great resource for users.

One Crazy Summer (for website design)

Chris Bradshaw — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 05:26:07 +0000

The summer of 2010 will go down as one crazy summer of web design. Nashville Interactive has been very busy with some great projects that will hit the web design portfolio soon. Being busy with nice, air-conditioned office work during a very hot and humid Middle Tennessee summer isn't a bad thing at all. Since the real heat started in June, Nashville Interactive has played an integral part in over one dozen website design projects including work for music mogul Diddy, professional golfer Kenny Perry, country music artist and professional bull rider Justin McBride and Nashville School Volunteers. There's plenty more on the horizon slated for the fall so hopefully we'll be able to find some time for football and leaf raking. Stay tuned for design portfolio updates in the near future…

Golf Anyone? KennyPerry.com Launches

Chris Bradshaw — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 04:32:43 +0000

If you're into professional golf, you're no doubt aware of the excellent play (and demeanor) of Kenny Perry. Mr Perry is a 14-time winner on the PGA tour and a really down-to-earth guy. Nashville Interactive was recently contracted to perform the development of Kenny's site, and we're very proud to have been awarded this opportunity. Working with the provided design, the site was built on an open-source content management system to allow for user update-able content. The site contains tons of great info about Kenny, his interests and what he's up to so stop by kennyperry.com and see why Mr. Perry is one of the most popular golfers on tour.
