Your Website is a Fashion Statement
Posted by Matthew Haller on 11 July 2014 10:46 am

Retro housewifeWhat to wear for today? Am I trying to look casual or formal? Do I wear the blue button down or the red polo? Should I sport the blazer or leave it at home? These are all questions most of us face every day. We wake up determined to look our best. Most of us adhere to certain fashion principles because we want to attract the right kind of attention.

If you are going out on a date you dress to impress. If you are going to a business function you dress to look the part. If you went to a business function wearing tight leather pants and a leather vest you would probably not be well received, that is, unless you are Channing Tatum. You would attract a lot of attention, but not the right kind of attention.

Fashion also changes all the time. It used to be fashionable to wear powdered wigs. Fortunately, that fashion statement ended over a century ago. I do not consider myself to be an expert on fashion but I am at least able to wear the right colors together. I know that socks and sandals are considered a fashion faux pas. Most people accept these unwritten fashion norms as law. What surprises me, however, is the unwillingness of people to invest the same amount of time and energy into their website as they would their clothes or haircut.

Your website is a virtual extension of you or your business. In today’s modern world people will often visit an individual or business online before they visit them in person. Your website will often be the first thing someone sees before they physically visit your store. If you do not have a brick and mortar store than it is even more important that your website looks impeccable. People are going to make their initial judgments about you or your company based off of what they see online. Just like fashion, web design changes as well. What used to be a good looking website in 1999 is probably not a good looking website today. So, unless you want to get the awkward stares and bad snap judgments, I’d recommend keeping your website (and your closet) up-to-date.

Spark Growth’s Coding for Non-Profit Bradenton Riverwalk Website
Posted by Amanda Pasko on 03 May 2013 07:58 am

I had the opportunity May 2nd to volunteer in collaboration with area event planners, project managers, software developers and Realize Bradenton to kick off the development of the new Bradenton Riverwalk website. The new website will illustrate and explain features of the complex, provide a calendar of events, and allow the community to schedule their own events using the many amenities Riverwalk has to offer. The website is also in development using the feature rich, flexible and secure content management platform DotNetNuke (DNN).

Since Webtivity has long valued all that DNN has to offer, I was excited to provide acclimation for the other developers in the group and to answer questions throughout the day. I also had a great time planning the visual impression of the site including layout, graphics and styling. There is still much to be done but it was a great day of collaboration with great minds from the Bradenton-Sarasota area, and I can’t wait until the launch of this incredible tool for the Bradenton community!

CardioVascular Solutions Institute Launches New Website
Posted by Troy Newport on 11 April 2013 08:19 am

Dr. Gino J. Sedillo, M.D. has led an interesting and storied life.  He wasn’t born a cardiologist after all.  In fact, his first job in a hospital was buffing floors.  Within two years he moved up to orderly, emptying bedpans and making beds.  He met a cardiologist at that hospital who became his inspiration, and he began his quest to become a doctor too.  Having trained at the Texas Heart Institute and completing residency at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Dr. Sedillo moved to Bradenton Florida in 1995.  Soon he was performing over 1000 procedures a year, and attracting national attention in his field.  Soon he was teaching procedures to cardiologists and surgeons all over the country.  In 2011 he founded the CardioVascular Solutions Institute, with offices in Sarasota and Bradenton. 

Dr. Sedillo built beautiful offices just as impressive as his background and career but his website did not adequately convey his skill and expertise.  His team hired Webtivity to develop a website that is just as warm and inviting as his offices, and as comforting as his smile.  Being a new practice, he also needed to be found.  So in conjunction with his new website he partnered with Webtivity on an SEO campaign to help him begin gaining the online exposure he needs to grow his practice.
