Whirlpool Bath Retailer Website Redesign

Whirlpoolbath.net offers hundreds of bath models from a dozen or so manufacturers. The entire sales effort is online. Their original website suffered from a lack of organization, making it impossible for a visitor to find anything.

Sparks Arts' new design features consistent, user-friendly site navigation, a sitewide search function, and products organized in several ways - by manufacturer, by style and by size - making it easier for customers to find what they want.

Window Service Website Redesign

The original website for Palo Verde Glass and Screen Service in Tucson, AZ was created by the local yellow pages company. The site featured very little information and the client was too busy to figure out how to update it. On top of that, their monthly fee to keep this ineffective website was 10 times what it should be.

The client was not interested in maintaining the website himself, so Sparks Arts designed a custom CSS-based look that focuses on product and service descriptions, a portfolio of work, warranties, meet the staff, interactive Google map for directions to the shop, and (most importantly) lead generation via an online form to request an appointment for a free estimate.

Real Estate Website Redesign

The old website was created on a generic real estate hosting service using a bland template. The real estate agent was looking for a more custom design.

For the new Bear Valley Springs Realty website we designed the look from scratch using a database-driven system that can be easily updated by the client. Our new website includes up-to-date interest rate averages, local weather forecasts, interactive Google maps for each listing, and custom contact forms. 

Retail Store Website Redesign

Picture Perfect & Stamps of Approval is a scrapbooking store that also offers classes. Their old website was a barter arrangement created in FrontPage, so the client had little control over the site. All updates and revisions relied on the original designer, and it was currently 3 months out of date!

For our redesign, Sparks Arts set up a Content Management System using Joomla!, a free-to-use database software that allows easy updating by non-technical users. A commercial Joomla! template was customized with the client's existing logo and color scheme. The result is a modern web site featuring cutting edge Web 2.0 design. An interactive events calendar was added for additional functionality.

E-Commerce Website Redesign

CST Sales relies completely on catalog and online sales. However, their old website had no e-commerce capabilities.

With thousands of products, a robust shopping cart and e-commerce system was necessary. After extensive research into the available options, ShopSite Pro was selected. ShopSite Pro allows for custom-designed web pages that integrate with the product database and sales check-out. Product additions and updates are easily handled by non-techical users, so the client doesn't have to pay the web designer to make changes. The CST Sales website is now completely maintained by the client.

Shortly after launch, CST Sales received this e-mail:

Awesome, awesome, awesome work on the site!!! I see you guys have a whole new professional look and are adding pictures to the products! Keep it up! Great move!

College Health Department Website Redesign

The original website for University of California, Riverside Campus Health Center was designed by programmers with no design training. Although functional, the site lacked visual appeal.

Sparks Arts was brought in to create an updated look for the website that could plug in to their existing site set-up.

Publisher Website Redesign

The old Ape Pen Publishing website was created using the Yahoo Store site builder. There were numerous technical problems, with content overlapping and poor organization creating visitor confusion.

Our new design followed the client's general vision to create a unique and compelling presence online.

Updated Logo Redesign

Coastal Netting wanted to modernize their logo while still keeping a similar style. The new eye-catching logo stands out prominently in all their ads and marketing materials and has even been embossed on leather briefcases.

Business Card Redesign

Our new business card layout matched Mirabella's existing storefront sign design for a consistent branding image. A new portrait and more colorful design topped off the design for more eye appeal.
