Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

When respected bankruptcy attorney, Clint W. Smith, from the well known firm of Udall, Shumway & Lyons contacted ce3media about a redesign, much thought went into the planning of this new and improved web site. While a large amount of the content had already been written and was in use with their existing site, the challenge was to not only give this content a fresh new look, but to improve upon the function in every way. As a debt relief agency, Mr. Smith and his team specialize in assisting people in filing for bankruptcy relief. Our goal was to create an aesthetically pleasing, yet user friendly information center. Some of the features include a download center, where the necessary forms can be printed to get started on a bankruptcy case, an introduction video, easy to navigate and easy to understand explanations of many legal terms, FAQ page, contact form, and blog that allows constant new information on bankruptcy related topics to be added. 

We are not only pleased with the redesign project, but also very proud to do our part in helping people get a fresh start after financial hardship.

Over the Gill?

Monday, January 11th, 2010

gillCould it be, that a favorite font of mine could be going out of style?

I noticed Gill Sans on sale at the end of '09 at bargain basement clearance prices on a couple of popular download sites. Is this the style forecast for 2010 that will devastate me? Oh the disappointment that would bring! I so adore Gill Sans and I am not ready to give it up. You are The Little Black Dress of fonts, my beloved Gill. With a change of accessories on the page, you can be sophisticated and serious or cute and trendy. After looking at some of the popular new fonts that have recently been released, I am no less attached to my good ole Gill, (and can't help but notice how similar a lot of these "new" ones are to my old favorite too). Oh, I'm probably just being paranoid. Gill Sans is still a strong font choice for the brochure I'm working on, and will not come across like a 1996 "Friends" haircut in the translation to CMYK.
