SCRI International, Inc.

sms web development’s latest offering is the re-design of the SCRI, International website. We designed and built our client’s new site utilizing the WordPress platform. The site’s owner wanted the capability to update his own content, which he is now able to do via WordPress’ CMS (content management system). He also produces a monthly online newsletter which can now be broadcast as a blog post, again with the help of WordPress’ blogging functionality. He previously had to duplicate his efforts by placing his newsletter on his old website and then recreate it for email distribution. Now he can create his newsletter blog post once, and have his clients receive it via email by subscribing to the site’s RSS feed.

The Power Of Pleasure

Engage Love

Keith Braselton, coach and author, enlisted SMS Web Development to partner in creating the web presence for his new venture – Engage Love. The primary efforts we focused on in this first phase, were creating a website that not only promotes Engage Love, but also his new book – Engage Love—A New Healing Paradigm. We designed and produced the site utilizing the WordPress platform and performed extensive theme customization, per Mr. Braselton’s needs. In addition to highlighting the book, we integrated e-commerce functionality allowing users to purchase either the e-book or the physical book.

We worked with Mailchimp to create a subscription form to capture email addresses and also designed and produced email newsletter templates containing links for promotional downloads. We will also create blog to newsletter functionality via RSS feed.

We designed and produced cover art for both the e-book and physical book, including all pre-press functions.

For the last part of Phase One, we created Engage Love’s Social Media presence for Facebook and Twitter containing graphics that are consistent with the Engage Love brand.

McGraw-Hill OLC

As more students study with computers, McGraw-Hill, one of the leading textbook publishers, has developed the “Online Learning Center” to accompany many of its textbooks. In collaboration with their “New Media” department, we are regularly enlisted to produce “Online Learning Centers” to accompany their textbooks.

The OLC Website follows the textbook chapter by chapter. As students study, they can refer to the OLC Website for learning objectives, a chapter summary, a Java-based graphing tool, an interactive glossary, and more. Before taking an exam, students can utilize interactive exercises and self-grading quizzes.

A secure “Instructor Center” stores essential course materials to save prep time before class. Also contained are “The Instructor’s Manual” and assorted presentation materials.
