Another project I have been working on this past week is one for the Conway Chamber of Commerce for their Conway 2025 plan. I was pretty excited about this project because I was at the first breakfast meeting during the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce Business Expo with Steven Trotter when the plan was shared, we were both impressed. If you’re not familiar with what the Conway 2025 plan is all about, I highly recommend checking out the website, http://conway2025.com to download the PDF or read it online.
In a nutshell, the 2025 plan for Conway is a compilation of ideas, or improvements, that were put together by various community members who met and logged countless hours thinking of ways the city of Conway could be improved. These ideas were then organized into 7 different categories.
I built the website based upon the idea that since the plan was more or less a list of goals that the entire community could get behind and support as well as interacting with one another to work toward a common goal. With this in mind I wanted to make sure that visitors to this website would be able to not only post comments to each other regarding the ideas outlined in each post, but they would also be able to use their Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, or AOL accounts. Below you will find a screenshot of the project…
Since I haven’t unveiled the project to my client yet, I can’t post a live link to it yet, but stay tuned this next week for launch announcements…
The 2011 winter season has been one for the record books for central Arkansas. This week we witnessed one of the biggest snow events we have seen in years, I personally have between 6-8 inches of snow in my backyard. Yesterday cabin fever set in and I absolutely had to get out of the house so we bundled up, grabbed the puppy and hit the streets. I carried along my camera so I could snap some shots of the winter wonderland, and I am glad I did. 
I was contacted by an old friend, Richard Neal of Morrilton, to design and develop a web presence for one of his side ventures. Richard has been in the funeral business since we were in high school and his family operation now has several funeral homes around the state. One aspect of Richard’s funeral home business that has helped him stand apart from the competition is his Rosewood Classic Coach, a custom designed hearse that is quite possibly one of the classiest vehicles I have ever seen.
