Kiess Pipes is the creative outlet of Dr. Robert Kiess, who lives in Vermont. Bob carves beautiful pipes.
Bob hired Red Clover Design to register and host his domain as well as design a site to display and sell his hand-carved pipes. Bob had a basic PayPal account from using eBay, so we upgraded his account and added simple "buy now" transactions to the site. Bob loves traveling to pipe carving conferences around the country, but now Bob can sell his pipes from the comfort of his mountain home.
Land & Lamb
Land & Land's mission is to nurture Navajo-Churro sheep, to promote their survival and continuance as one of the oldest and hardiest breeds in North America. Land & Lamb sells breeding stock, fleece, roving, yarn and handmade clothing by Land & Lamb's Marian White, and her friends.
Marian's site was a bit dark and dated, and she wanted to add e-commerce. Red Clover Design freshened up the site with soft, bright tones, and re-organized Marian's photos and content. Since Marian already had a PayPal account, adding a basic shopping-cart was simple, and something she was already confident using.
The Friends original website was what is referred to as a "brochure site" meaning that it only conveyed basic information. The site had a brief biography of Justin Smith Morrill, a small map and directions to the homestead, and short blurb on the organization. Red Clover Design expanded on this information, and added a number of features, including:
Contact form — This helped protect the group from spammers.
Rotating banner — Displayed quotes from famous people and showed photos from the beautiful grounds.
Interactive Google map — Assists visitors to the area in finding lodging, food and other points of interest.
Announcement list — Allows the group to communicate with interested people via email.
The Friends of the Morrill Homestead website is also hosted by Red Clover Design.
Scully Sound
Scully Sound is a local small business that specializes in live audio recording. Sarah Scully, the proprietor, wanted a website that would allow her to add audio clips and updates after each show she recorded.
The solution, in this case, was to use a popular free blogging tool called WordPress. WordPress has a WYSIWYG interface that is similiar to many word processing tools such as Microsoft Word™. Sarah was familiar with other blogging software and this solution met her needs.
Red Clover Design installed the WordPress application, set up the database to run the application and created the graphic look for the site.
Scully Sound is also hosted by Red Clover Design.
(Unofficial) Town of Tunbridge, Vermont
When Red Clover Design was hired for this project the (unofficial) website of the town of Tunbridge already had a skeleton framework. Red Clover Design gathered the content for the site from a variety of sources and rebuilt the site in order to serve the community.
Red Clover Design created a number of features to help the community including
Individual sections for town government,
Pages for various town organizations (library, church, schools, etc),
A photo gallery for citizens to share photos from town events,
A message board so members of the community could communicate with one another,
An electronic email announcement list to share town, and area, events.
Red Clover Design maintained the site for a period of time before handing it over to the owner of the domain.
Urban Institute
The Urban Institute site was not exactly a client of Red Clover Design, but Rick Scully built and managed the prestigious organization's many websites for nearly a decade. When Rick arrived in 1996, the Urban Institute web site was a small brochure site. By the time he left, in 2005, the site contained hundreds of free publications for public download; included an online e-commerce site to sell the books produced by the Urban Institute Press; contained many sub-sites for the various public policy centers that make up the Urban Institute; and reached thousands via e-mail lists.
Terrapin Gardens
Terrapin Gardens is the online home of Rick and Sarah Scully. It is part weblog (aka, blog), part journal. Rick and Sarah use the site to keep in touch with friends and family and to share their photography via the free online photo service, Flickr.
Terrapin Gardens runs on a free CMS called pmachine that is similiar to the aforementioned WordPress.
Recipe Repository
The Recipe Repository is a multi-user blog that allows its members to share recipes with one another. Like Scully Sound, it is built on WordPress in order to make its maintenance easier for its users who have varying levels of technical expertise.
