NashvilleInteractive.com has been redesigned! If you've been to the site before, you may notice that the look is actually similar to the last version (background image mostly) but the site is much more user friendly and has expanded to better represent where NI has been in the last year and also where we're headed. Notably the design portfolio has about 6x the content and is now sortable by category. For instance website design, logo design, artist website design etc. There's much more detailed info about services offered and a Q&A style about page. So have a look around and as always, feel free to let us know what you think.

This past weekend, Nashville Interactive launched SpenshaOnline.com; the online home of inspirational musical artist Spensha Baker. The website design and development was handled completely by Nashville Interactive. I've said it before: creating an artist website design is always a fun project to work on. The creative freedom and ability to work with less "traditional" layouts allows the opportunity to stretch the creative muscles a bit.
The site was built using an Open-Source Content Management System so that the client has full control over their own online presence. Using open source software also means that there are no monthly licensing fees of any kind which often come along with bulkier proprietary systems.
Nashville Interactive recently designed, built and launched alwayssisterforeverbrothers.com. This website for the 2010 Always Sisters Forever Brothers Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, proved to be a great project to work on. The site design awarded Nashville Interactive the opportunity to use some pretty cool javaScript and front-end development techniques. The website features a scrolling "homepage" that creates a nice, cohesive experience for viewing the top-level content. Much care was taken to ensure that the browser back and forward buttons would work with this design and more importantly that deep linking to all the top level content within the scrollable sections would work across all the major web browsers.
The site utilizes WordPress as a content management system which allows the client to take full control of their website and in-turn the message they want to put in front of their audience. Empowering clients to control their website's content is good website design, and this sort of self sustainability is part of Nashville Interactive's primary mission.
If you're one of those people who loves to empower your friends and family to make their own gift decisions via gift cards, this might be the site for you. Nashville Interactive did a portion of the front-end development work on givecard.com and got the chance to work with some great people. This site allows users to give a gift card to a recipient, a portion of which goes to charity. The recipient of the card can give more to charity if they'd like and they can choose from hundreds of charities to donate to. A great site for some great causes so check it out now.
