Bentonville Public Library Website

January 16, 2012 | By David Adair | 0 Comments

Last week we launched a new website for the Bentonville Public Library. The library is one of the major institutions and destinations here in Downtown Bentonville, and we are honored to have partnered with them on this project.

Despite all of the library’s helpful programs and beautiful facilities, their previous website was sorely lacking. Our goals for the new site were many:

• represent the quality of the library
• showcase their many services and programs
• provide a portal into their comprehensive online research options
• make the content-heavy website clearly organized and easy to navigate

Catching Up and Some Recent Work

June 30, 2011 | By David Adair | 0 Comments

I’ve been way to quiet on our blog of late, but that’s certainly not an indication that nothing has been happening in the world of Adair Creative. Quite the opposite actually…here are the highlights from the past few months.

• At the beginning of May we added Nathan Brauer to our team. Nathan is a skilled web developer, and he works for us from San Francisco, CA. Nathan spent the month May with us here in Bentonville, but he’s back with his family now and will work from San Fran going forward.
• In addition to working on many ongoing accounts, we’ve taken on several new clients, including: MerchantView, Tusk & Trotter American Brasserie, Robinson Avenue Church of Christ, ForeverRed, the Kester Group, Highline Technical Innovations, the Bentonville Running Festival, and Blessings Unlimited (a subsidiary of DaySpring). I’m excited to show off some of this new work in the coming months.
• We continue to work on a little bit of everything – print design, logo and identity development, website design, mobile development, email campaigns, web application development, search engine optimization, packaging, and more.

Here’s a look at a few of our recent projects.

Introducing WorshipVue

March 26, 2011 | By David Adair | 0 Comments

Most of our time at Adair Creative Group is spent working on projects for our clients, but I’ve always had in the back of my mind that I’d like to try our own venture someday. Through a close partnership with Praisecharts and Fervent, WorshipVue.com has given us the opportunity to do just that.

Case Study: PraiseCharts

October 18, 2010 | By David Adair | 0 Comments

On October 1, we launched the new praisecharts.com. For over 10 years, PraiseCharts has served churches around the world by providing sheet music and other resources for musicians and worship leaders.

In March of 2009, we set out to redesign and develop the PraiseCharts website. At that time, we had no idea how complex of an undertaking this redesign would be. But the challenge has led to an incredibly fulfilling project and client relationship.

There is no way I could shed light on all of the hours of meeting, planning, dreaming, designing, building, and testing, but here is a glimpse behind the design and development of the new praisecharts.com.

An Extraordinary Company

August 29, 2010 | By David Adair | 0 Comments

When I first met with InvoTek about the prospect of redesigning their website, I was overwhelmed by their passion. InvoTek is a small company that does big things in an understated way. In short, they develop technologies that help people with severe disabilities interact with the world around them. They’re not in it for money or fame. They truly care about making an impact in the lives of those they serve.

They needed a website that would better tell their story, connect with donors and caregivers, sell their products, and boost their new Be Extraordinary program. The Be Extraordinary program connects sponsors with real individuals in need of help but without the financial means to secure this type of technology.

Help For Haiti

June 04, 2010 | By David Adair | 0 Comments

For the past few years, we have had the privilege to work for Hope Force International out of Nashville, TN. Hope Force is a non-profit organization that trains, equips, and mobilizes “reservists”, or volunteers, in the case of natural or man-made disasters.

When a series of devastating earthquakes hit the island nation of Haiti in January, Hope Force was among the first to respond on the ground in Haiti.

As the organization’s response to the Haiti disaster took shape, Hope Force asked us to create a series of materials to bring a unified identity to their work in Haiti. Among these items were a logo, website graphics, e-blasts, support letters, a brochure, wristbands, and display materials.

There’s Something Happening in Downtown Bentonville

May 05, 2010 | By David Adair | 0 Comments

We are proud that Downtown Bentonville is the home to our studio. It is rich in history, has a rich business culture, and it is rich in the arts. Downtown Bentonville Inc is a non-profit organization that supports the businesses and culture of Downtown Bentonville.

We recently launched a new website for DBI. The site is built on a content management system, allowing their staff to actively maintain the content. The website is a source of information on the events occurring in Downtown Bentonville, including the popular Farmers Market and First Fridays.

Here’s a look at a couple web projects we have been working on of late.

Case Study: JBU Advance Program

January 20, 2010 | By David Adair | 0 Comments

For over 15 years, John Brown University has provided a way for working adults to finish their degree. The Advance Program has been highly successful during this time, and it has played a large role in the overall growth of the university.

We began working with the Advance Program in early 2008, and they are a great example of the type of client we love. We’ve worked with the Advance Program from the ground up to establish their organizational identity and communicate their brand through multiple mediums and materials.

DaySpring Banner Ads

December 11, 2009 | By David Adair | 0 Comments

With Christmas right around the corner, here’s a recent Christmas-themed project. DaySpring is a provider of Christian greeting cards, e-cards, and merchandise. We designed this series of online banner ads for use during the holiday season.

The ads feature Christmas gift ideas available through DaySpring, and we designed them to compliment the look-and-feel of the recently redesigned DaySpring website. The banners are a mixture of static ads and Flash-animated ads.
