Swingforehope.org Launches New WordPress Website

Posted on September 24, 2014

SwingForeHope.org has officially launched!ย  The new website was suppose to launch before their tournament on June 16th of this year but the company that purchased and controlled their domain name was unresponsive until just yesterday. The lesson here is DO NOT have the web design company working on your website, or anyone else for that matter, purchase or control your domain name! Make sure you purchase it yourself. That way you always have complete control over it.

The new website was built in WordPress. It was developed using a custom designed theme. It is fully responsive, making it easy to view and read on any type of device including desktop computers, tablets and smart phones. The site allows users to make donations and pay for the golf tournament and sponsorships. All donations are directly deposited into their PayPal account through the website.

Swing Fore Hope is a non-for-profit organization based out of Edwardsville, IL with a vision to help end breast cancer. This non-for-profit has two missions. One, to raise money for breast cancer research, and two, to help support local families facing financial difficulties as a result of this horrible disease.

Below are screenshots of the home page design and a sample template page.

Please visit SwingForeHope.org to learn more about this great organization.

Custom WordPress Website Design for a St. Louis Metro East Technology and Communications Contractor

Posted on September 23, 2014

C5T Corporation is a woman and service disabled-veteran owned small business based out of Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. C5T stands for Command & Control, Communications, Computers, and Capabilities Transformation. The majority of their work is government contracted in the fields of information technology and communications with a focus on Department of Defense, military and civil aviation. Most of their staff is made up of U.S. veterans with years of defense department and civil aviation experience as military, civilian, and contractors. C5T wanted the new website to emphasize their patriotism by using red, white and blue and the American flag in the design.

The new website was developed in WordPress with a custom designed theme. The new theme is responsive, rendering beautifully on desktop computers, tablets and smart phones. It also features an easy to update home page slideshow, multiple easy to maintain widgets including a sub menu widget that automatically populates the sub-page navigation into the sidebar. This makes the site easier to scale as they plan on adding most of the new content themselves. We also updated their logo, staying true to the original, but making it more usable and easier to reproduce. In addition to the website and logo upgrade; we designed C5T a new tri-fold brochure that complements the new site.

Logo & Identity for New St. Louis Audiology Practice

Posted on September 19, 2014

Visual Lure recently completed this new logo and identity package for Advanced Audiology Associates, a new audiology practice opening soon in St. Louis, Missouri. The new logo features two types of audio waves that create the St. Louis Arch and the Mississippi River. They also create three letter A’s for Advanced Audiology Associates. We think that’s pretty clever and memorable; please like or share this post if you agree. The typeface is Centrale Sans Condensed with custom letter A’s designed to complement the logo mark.

Below you can see the new logo in both horizontal and vertical applications, underneath that are additional color variations and at the bottom is the identity package – which includes the company business card, letterhead and envelope design.

Custom Illustrated T-Shirt Design for Visual Lure

Posted on

We were recently inspired by a design we found on Pinterest of some spectacularly crafted ornate playing cards. We decided to take that inspiration and use it to design a new t-shirt for Visual Lureยฎ. The “eyeball in the palms” illustration was custom drawn by hand. It is based off our logo which reflects our tagline: Professional Eye-Catchersโ„ข. It was designed to look like an old woodcut print. Below the new design is an older shirt we had printed using the same illustration but different design.

Logo and Website Re-Design for Cleveland Photography Studio

Posted on September 4, 2014

Visual Lure recently completed a new logo and custom WordPress website for Todd Anguish Photography. Todd is a talented wedding, high school senior portrait and family photographer based out of Cleveland, Ohio. We had the pleasure of meeting Todd at Shutterfest this year, where I spoke about logos & branding and websites & search engine optimization (SEO). At the time, we had just started working on Todd’s new logo.

The new website was developed in WordPress and features a custom designed theme, masonry style portfolios and a responsive design. The responsive design makes the website render beautifully on all devices and is crucial for an overall great user experience. We also provided SEO services which helped the site rank very well right out of the gates. We are still working on it, but be on the lookout for www.toddanguishphotography.com on the first page of Google soon.

Below you can see Todd’s new logo on his business card and letterhead design, and below that are two screenshots of his new home page and wedding portfolio.
