Web designers in Portland

With the ever-increasing proliferation of smartphones and tablets in the consumer marketplace, it is more important than ever to tailor your web site design to reach as many mediums as possible. For our own website, we wanted to design a website that was visually appealing and user-friendly across multiple screen sizes. With the use of responsive design and cusotmized framework powered by Windows Azure, we were able to create a clean and responsive website that our users can access on any device to get the information they need.

To create a new website, Taylor-Dunn did what most companies would do. They interviewed a number of providers, then contracted with an established firm to design and host their public-facing website, including E-commerce and dealer login components. Unfortunately, after the initial site was built and went live, the web design firm became increasingly unresponsive, and unable to produce timely updates or bug fixes. Looking for some assistance, Taylor-Dunn contacted CSG Pro and asked us to provide them with some options. Over the course of several months, we worked with Taylor-Dunn to understand the depth and workings of the sites. Our first step was to migrate the sites to a new and more stable host, which we followed by updating and improving the code for better performance. By being able to step into a confusing situation, and salvage the existing work that had been done, we were able to give Taylor-Dunn a stable and functional presence on the web and to save them thousands of dollars in the process.

Johnstone Supply is the top cooperative wholesale distributor of HVACR products in the country with 370 independently-owned stores and over $1.3 billion in sales. As a Cooperative, effective communications are important to Johnstone Supply. Work had previously been done to create the company’s main communication platform using SharePoint. It was time for a fresh look and an improvement in the search experience. Johnstone came to us for help in building a system that would achieve that. We evaluated their current intranet site, identified the challenges and concluded we needed to build a new site that would: • Make it easy to find relevant documents and intranet content with minimum effort • Improve the document publishing process • Organize and categorize links to make more user-friendly • Consolidate content make the design more attractive and consistent To solve the challenges, we designed and built a heavily customized SharePoint intranet application. To make documents easier to find, we tagged them with metadata including the category and archive date. We also built the new system, known as JEN, with homepage links in the header and the footer that were relevant and easy to see. These links led to all other content, so that JEN could be the portal to access all information. In addition, staff members were now able to search for documents right on the home page. The project was completed in December of 2011. The new design and navigation has made it significantly easier to find information and documents quickly, and has enhanced communications for the organization.

Born from the simple desire to keep up with golf buddies while on the road, VIE is a social competition engine that allows sports fans and pro athletes to compete together virtually using real-life stats and scores, and raise funds for charities. As a venture-backed startup with no engineering team, VIE needed a partner with the mental prowess to turn their vision into a product, and the technical depth to take that product to market — COPIOUS was the perfect fit.

Consumers in the Amazon era research purchases more than ever before & making peer reviews no longer a nicety, but a necessity for conversion. The Asics Sound Body Alliance goes a step further by giving opinion leaders special pricing and early access to performance footwear, apparel, and accessories. Asics knew by encouraging key influencers — fitness trainers — to try out the latest Asics gear, they will be more likely to recommend it to their clients. As veterans of ecommerce and advocates for user experience, COPIOUS was just the team for the job. Our challenge: create a branded private sales experience for this influential group of users.

Birchbox changes the product sampling game by building ongoing relationships with likely buyers, then incentivizing the feedback loop. For a $10 a month, subscribers get 4-6 deluxe-sized samples of designer beauty products. They can review these products to earn points worth dollars off the full-size items, and Birchbox merchandises this valuable data back to the brands. Attracted to our knack for creating richly-branded, flawlessly-functioning ecommerce sites, Birchbox asked us to bring their concept to life. With an ideal launch opportunity looming near, we had less than nine weeks to work makeover magic. Read full case study here: http://www.copio.us/work/#/view-project/birchbox

Few things fulfill us more than facing a truly unique challenge head on, and crafting the right fit solution. NW Natural, the largest natural gas provider in Oregon and southwest Washington, had just such a challenge. They weren’t looking to drive sales. Instead, what NW Natural was really interested in was improving customer service. And they needed a partner with a deep understanding of user behavior to help them do it. If customers had a fast and easy way to find information online, they would feel more equipped to manage their gas account, and well cared for as a customer. Better self-service would also mean higher customer satisfaction — a metric that’s particularly important in the highly-regulated natural gas industry.
