Another interesting and challenging project for our team was to design and build a website that now perfectly represents a reputable, high-end speaker company. Committed to bringing beautiful sound as well as design to every room of a home, SpeakerCraft produces a wide range of custom installation speakers and innovative sound solutions. Their line of products includes in-wall and in-ceiling hi-fidelity audio speakers.
SpeakerCraft, which is a part of the Core Brands family, brought the Project6 Design team in to update an old website. They wanted it to not only highlight the quality of their products but to make it easier for visitors to navigate and find the information they needed. Their earlier website required manual updates so many of the listings were out of date and important dealer information was difficult to find. Another big problem with the site was it was not mobile responsive so they were missing out on serving a much broader audience. Project6’s tasks included developing a customizable design system that used a Drupal CMS. By incorporating longer scrolling pages with a flexible modular system, the design allows site’s administrators to easily update and edit content. In addition the fully mobile-friendly website provides a consistent experience regardless of what device a user is on. The end result is a clean, elegant website that conveys the SpeakerCraft brand’s true nature.

The team at Project6 Design knows how to help businesses and organizations create lasting impressions and to convey their story with strong branding and customer-empowered websites. In addition we are proud of the fact that we have had the opportunity to partner with so many nonprofit organizations that are doing their part to make the world a better place. One such project was to design and build the website for the Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program (K-CEP). The philanthropic program was created to support the Kigali Amendment of the Montreal Protocol.
The Kigali amendment consists of a commitment by 197 countries from across the globe to cut their production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The agreement reduces potent greenhouse gasses used in refrigeration and air conditioning by more than 80 percent over the next 30 years. The hope is that this action will help us to avoid a projected 0.5° C global warming by the end of the century. A collaboration of 18 foundations, K-CEP’s focus is on the energy efficiency of cooling to increase and accelerate the climate and development benefits of the Kigali Amendment refrigerant phasedown. To effectively explain their mission as well as the multiple resources the program offers, they needed a website that was organized and designed to make it easy for visitors to access the information they need. Project6’s team worked with K-CEP to design and build a website from the ground up using WordPress as the CMS. The newly launched site offers easy, logical navigation regardless of what device their visitors are on. Please visit our website to learn more about Project6’s extensive graphic design services.

As one of San Francisco’s leading graphic design firms, Project6 Design has been honored once again from the prestigious Horizon Interactive Awards with two new Bronze Awards for website design excellence. The 2016 winners were just announced and highlight the year’s “best of the best” in interactive media production.
For fifteen years, the Horizon Interactive Awards have recognized, promoted and awarded the best websites / website design, interactive, videos, online advertising, print media and mobile applications. Each year the organization receives thousands of entries from all over the world, and the competition is judged by a volunteer panel of industry professionals with backgrounds in diverse multi-media, graphic design, advertising and marketing. Our last blog post focused on the Traina Foods project, which was one of our Bronze Award winners. Project6’s other Bronze Award, in the category of Advocacy / Non-Profit, was for the extensive redesign of the Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation (DRK) website. Our success on the DRK project was important as they are a global venture philanthropy firm that supports early stage, high impact social enterprises. The organization believes that with early funding and rigorous support, exceptional leaders, tackling some of society’s most complex problems, can make the world a better place. Before we began the project with DRK, their website only supported desk-tops, and was cluttered and not easy for visitors to navigate or find what they needed. Perhaps most importantly it did not persuasively or effectively communicate the foundation’s powerful mission of supporting passionate individuals who can change the world. Our tasks included designing a longer page scrolling experience across the site in order to showcase individual organizations and breaking news. Project6’s team also simplified and streamlined the architecture. By creating a unified portfolio section, visitors are now able to browse both organizations and people. In addition we developed a new community section that allows DRK’s entrepreneurs and alumni to share news, resources, and upcoming events. As with most of our projects, DRK’s new site is built on a WordPress platform and is simple for staff to update and grow.

Throughout our many years in the business, Project6 Design has been privileged to be honored by many industry awards for our outstanding work. Most recently we were recognized with two Bronze Awards for website design excellence from the Horizon Interactive Awards; one of the leading international interactive media awards competitions. The recently announced 2016 award winners highlighted the year’s “best of the best” in interactive media production.
One of our Bronze Awards was for the website design project we did for the DRK Foundation website (Advocacy / Non-Profit). The other Bronze we received was for our website design for Traina Foods (Restaurant / Food Industry). Traina Foods, which is located in the CA’s San Joaquin Valley, grows, sun dries and produces premium sun dried fruit for Industrial Ingredient and Foodservice customers around the world, had a website that needed a complete redo. Project6’s task included redesigning and developing the site from the ground up. Working closely with Traina, we were able to fully and visually communicate their brand story and promise as well as making the site scalable to their future needs. By reorganizing the site content, we made it easier and more intuitive for visitors to browse the site and to locate the products and information they were seeking. Our team enabled a secure partner login so Traina’s partners could take advantage of vital sales tools. The redesign also included a customized ecommerce shop designed to sync with their in-house inventory management tools. Furthermore, we integrated a third-party store locator tool. We encourage you to take a look at the visually pleasing and colorful Traina site that now effectively communicates the family brand as well as the high quality of their products.

The Project6 Design team was proud to be recognized for their excellence with a 2016 Gold Award for the Corporate & B2B website of the luxury home automation company, ELAN. Sponsored by the Horizon Interactive Awards, the Competition recognizes the best interactive media production work from among entries from across the globe. This year’s winners were selected from over 1,200 submissions representing 20 countries and 40 US States. This year’s winning entries showcase the industry’s best interactive media solutions including web sites, mobile applications, print media online advertising, video, and more.
Project6 Design’s recent overhaul and redesign of ELAN’s website resulted in a clean, visually appealing site that is easy-to-navigate, update and maintain. In fact the new, updated, mobile friendly website design better complements the company’s goal of simplifying and enhancing a connected home. The customizable design system utilizing Drupal as the CMS allows ELAN staff to easily edit or add content. Highlights include improved functionality making it easier for dealers to be found and products to stay up to date. In addition, a custom feed of products automatically updates the website, creating product pages on the site and populating the content on those pages. ELAN’s business model involves creating private network hubs for their customers that seamlessly combine music, TV, climate, lighting and other home systems with an easy-to-use interface that puts the user in control whether at home or away. An ELAN system allows users to see, hear, and respond to visitors while sitting on the couch, in their car or out of the country.

Among our many successful projects, the team at Project6 Design has worked with clients to help them build a brand and online presence starting from the ground up. One such project was Presido Classics, which was a newly formed startup that offers design professionals a trusted source for affordable and fair-trade, luxurious natural fiber window treatments and rugs.
Our tasks involved helping Presido Classics create a customer experience that would effectively communicate the exceptional value of the sustainable sourced luxury home textiles. We were also charged with developing a brand strategy that would easily scale as the company grew. In addition we had to build a fully customized ordering process that offered the ability to adjust costs at will. As most of our projects begin, we started by researching other similar luxury and environmentally conscious brands to get an idea of not only the products but what customers were looking for. Our team did an in-depth analysis of the desired user experience as well as created a storyboard that was used to develop a wireframe structure for maximum visual impact and to support the many needed customization options. By using Drupal commerce to build a custom ecommerce system, we gave Presidio Classics a responsive website that is as conducive to content management tasks as to search engines. Once you take a look at the finished product, we are sure you will agree that the site is not only visually appealing with its clean sans-serif logotype, neutral palette, and open page layout but it is also extremely user friendly. However the benchmark for success from Presido Classics was that we created an ecommerce site that allowed for complete pricing flexibility as well as seamless customization.

At Project6 Design we provide clients with comprehensive services that include strategy, branding, and print materials as well as website design and development. One of our recent high tech clients was Zetta, which is a company founded in 2008 by a group of Internet pioneers for the purpose of advancing innovation in the cloud and creating better data protection. Today Zetta’s client base has grown to over 1,600 customers who rely on the company’s enterprise backup & disaster recovery solutions to keep their mission-critical data safe from disaster.
Zetta turned to the experts at Project6 for help in updating a website that had grown organically over time and was communicating mixed messages in both tone and visual hierarchy. Even their brand identity, created by the original founders, was out-of-date and in need of a professional retooling. Our task began by doing a thorough analysis of Zetta’s brand personality in order to determine its true character. Working closely with Zetta, we established a new identity that reflects the company’s promise of continuous access to business-critical data and applications with a memorable “Z” logo that mimics a continuous up and down flow of data. Our team also studied the site’s information architecture and took care to ensure our new site structure would address the needs of Zetta’s target audience. We incorporated the latest web technology into their site beginning with Drupal 8 web design as well as Saas, Bootstrap, CRM integration, animated SVG icons, and Marketo. In addition we used responsive development, a parallax image display and fixed header to allow constant access to business critical CTA. All in all, the company achieved brand consistency with a new identity that included brand design, trade show booth and marketing collateral as well as a responsive, easy-to-navigate website.
