How to Choose a Web Designer

How to Choose a Web DesignerPart of the excitement of being a web designer and developer is working with a client that shares the enthusiasm. To find a designer, you should carefully selecting a designer that has a strong portfolio and wants to work with you as a partner to develop a solution that meets the objectives YOU seek for YOUR company. Finding a designer isn’t always easy, especially when you are looking for one who will let the client participate in the process. Although an experienced designer will offer useful advice and suggestions, don’t let a firm dictate what you want. Decide what you would like to accomplish for your business, and then ask a designer how they can work with you to develop an innovative solution that takes advantage of the latest web technologies and design and marketing trends. Read More

Studio RTP gets a new MAC!

Ryan Given - Wednesday, February 10, 2010

New iMac for Studio RTPOkay, so I couldn't resist. My Adobe CS4 software has been running shaky (at best) on Mac OSX 10.4. I guess six years out of my ole' iMac is going to have to do it. I can't complain though, it's rare that you get that kind of life out of a computer in a production environment (or any environment for that matter, especially PC!) . Though nobody enjoys the expenses of doing business, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pumped to get the new machine! I decided on the new 27-inch iMac and I loaded her up with all of the goodies - I like to make sure I don't have to replace the machine for another 5 or 6 years! Read More

My Way Tavern, Holly Springs, North CarolinaMy wife and I had the opportunity to stop over and check out the new tavern in town, My Way Tavern. My way is located off of Main Street in the Holly Springs Historical District (next to the Town Hall, behind the Four Oaks Bank). The new tavern opened Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010. We have not yet met the owner (I'm sure he or she was running around coordinating crew!), but the staff has been handling the crowd great. My Way Tavern has been packed solid every night I've driven or walked the dog by, and Superbowl Sunday was no different. My wife and I were very impressed with how well they handled customers. Read More

Calvary Bible Church receives a new design!

Calvary Bible ChurchCalvary Bible Church - New Website DesignStudio RTP was selected to design the new website for Calvary Bible Church. Pastor Weber and his congregation were searching for a cost effective solution that would meet the current needs and future goals of the growing church. Deprived of a full time web developer and designer, Pastor Weber was looking for a content management system (CMS) that could be managed by church staff members with little HTML and CSS language experience. Using Business Catalyst as a CMS, Calvary Bible Church maintains the ability to update their website with zero web programming knowledge. Editing the new site is as easy as operating a word processor. Read More
