In April we were honored to have as Trillium’s first official client Clear Mountain Solar Store in Claremont, NH. Clear Mountain Solar hired Trillium Digital to promote its renewable energy and sustainable living products on the Web. We put together a very complex WordPress site, which includes video feeds, an large image gallery, blogs, and many pages of information.We had a tight deadline to meet, and had to launch the site in less than one month to coincide with a large home show the store was participating in.   Visit the site.

Husband and wife artist team David Rubel and Diane Cothern contacted us last spring asking for a multi-purpose site to promote their portrait, mural and decorative screen painting business. It was a challenge to find a way to incorporate all three diverse arms of their business into one cohesive site, but we think it turned out just great! This is a WordPress site with a large dynamic image gallery. David and Diane are having a blast being able to edit their pages themselves, as well as add new images, captions, and descriptions to the gallery.

Just in time for back-to-school, we also revamped the Weathersfield School site, upgrading the software and updating the template to make the site even easier for the school employees to maintain. This site is now 100% maintained by school staff!

Trillium Digital Internet Design & Strategy had a great month of May. We were fortunate to land three great new clients in one month. The Mountain Goat, Cook in the Kitchen and Acrylic Designs Incorporated all signed us to redesign their existing websites and ramp up their SEO/SEM efforts. All three share Trillium’s commitment to locally owned and operated business that support sustainability and healthy lifestyles.

We are nearing launch of the new  Acrylic Designs Incorporated (ADI),  a leading Point-of-Purchase (P-O-P) store display manufacturer located in Springfield, Vermont with an innovative recycling program for its American-made products that keeps plastics out of the waste stream. Trillium’s website redesign will help ADI’s sales force share it’s growth in new markets and keep customers abreast of the news and trends in P-O-P and of in-store marketing. Launch is planned for early September.

Coming in October:

Barleywine will launch the newest revision of Vermont Watercolor Society, one of the oldest clients in our portfolio. This Joomla site will incorporate the existing member database with its extensive member gallery pages with a document download area, member forum, dynamic event calendar, and many new features that will enable the Society’s Board of Directors to keep the site maintained themselves.

The Mountain Goat is a premier hiking camping and adventure equipment store located in Manchester, Vermont just minutes from the Appalachian Trail. They have been a favorite of hikers for years because of their top of the line boots and gear. In addition to giving their website an updated look and feel, Trillium will help The Mountain Goat raise visibility of their Custom Footbeds and Orthotics.

Cook in the Kitchen is a Vermont-based company offering an amazing assortment of all-natural gourmet pancake, scone, soup mixes, and gift baskets to its thousands of devoted fans. Trillium will help Cook in the Kitchen build an effective website that raises its wholesale and retail profile and supports a successful e-business.

On February 22, 2009, a press release proudly announced the launch of their new website (www.trilliumdigital.com) and that they are now accepting new clients.

“Trillium Digital is dedicated to helping small to medium-sized companies achieve their online and ecommerce goals by being a fully involved, long-term partner,” explains Reid Greenberg, Trillium’s Head of Client Marketing and Ecommerce expert.

After 12 years designing websites solo for her company Barleywine Graphics, Chief Designer Melissa Snyder is “thrilled”, she says, “to have new partners who can take my work to a higher level for my clients”.

Barleywine clients have no need to worry, though. Barleywine Graphics will remain an active web design company and will continue to provide the same high level of customer service as before.

First Universalist Society

This was one of my very first clients, and the original site had not been touched, design-wise, since about 2000! I have to say that it stood the test of time pretty well, but it was definitely time for a big change! We converted the entire site to Joomla!, which will enable the people at the Church to help with the updates. We implemented an events calendar and many other improvements, and I think they’re going to be very happy with the results.

Whippletree Yarn Shop

Another big project this summer was a brand new e-commerce site for a yarn shop in Woodstock, Vermont. Built with Zen Cart, this site will ultimately have hundreds of items, but for now,  Whippletree Yarns is easing slowly into the waters of e-commerce, and will actually begin taking orders later in the fall. In the meantime, be sure to check out their great selection of yarns, patterns, and accessories.

Wayside Youth

Also this summer was a new venture for me, as the Joomla consultant working with another design house down in Massachusetts. Milk Row Studios of Worcester, MA,  approached me last spring to help with the total redesign of the Wayside Youth site, migrating this enormous site over to Joomla! After months of meetings and the usual design changes, we are expecting to launch the new face for this very worthy cause in late September. Earlier in the summer I also collaborated with Milk Row on another project, The Encompass Education website.

Finally, closest to our hearts here in Weathersfield, is the simplest site I’ve had to to put together in ages; the

New Green Home Solutions

launch for the new book, New Green Home Solutions, by David Bonta and Stephen Snyder. It’s just a little Wordpress site with e-commerce enabled, but David is another client who goes way back with us – not only have we been friends for many years, I also have been working with his website since he opened his Solar Store empire back in 2001. And his co-author is no less than my husband Steve Snyder, a PR and marketing guru who I’ve been lucky enough to work with for the past few years, ever since he left Dartmouth to venture out on his own.

New Green Home Solutions

Steve is an important part of our team here at Barleywine Graphics, as main copywriter and head of all our PR and marketing campaigns for our clients.

We are all so proud to be a part of this green movement, and this book is going to be an important part of teaching people how easy it is to use renewable energy in their own lives, whether they want to start small, by changing their light bulbs, or go full steam ahead and install solar panels and wind turbines. It’s an absolutely gorgeous book, and I’m thrilled to be able to help them promote it. Congratulations, guys!!

So what are you waiting for? Head on over to New Green Home Solutions for your very own autographed copy!
