OHPASCO

Lab Work – Web Work

Web studies include three examples, OHPASCO, Clapboard Video and Talented Yound. Find each example below.

First, starting with OHPASCO, a local small accounting business, based in Shaker Heights, Ohio (Cleveland,OH). The client, a close friend, was looking to establish a marketing presence online targeting family, friends and tertiary contacts. The main goal was to expand the business’s online presence across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York(Mid Atlantic Region).

Furthermore, while there was an increasing need for dedicated resources, the popularity of shared hosting, cost and cloud based professional accounting services, the focus shifted towards implementing a marketing website to provide information and gather contacts, along with a practical hosting solution.

This work was a foundational study on mobile-first or device-agnostic design. A focus was placed on adding Bootstrap-lite features implemented in a WordPress CMS environment. ‘Business on a page’ (infinite scroll) or a CMS to serve up marketing content. The goal was to provide monthly updates and a home for social media to drive traffic and encourage visitors to call or schedule an appointment to learn more.

Clapboard Video

Continuing on with the web studies, we have Clapboard Video, a local small business that specializes in digital wedding video and photography services. They offer full coverage of pre and post-wedding celebrations.

Talented Young

Lab Work – Web Work

Next, we are excited to highlight Talented Young, a local startup that aims to showcase design portfolios in a Facebook-wall like format. They use cards to display individuals’ skills, talents and contact preferences, creating a virtual portfolio for creatives, architects and more. That’s Talented Young in a nutshell.

Our main focus has been on improving the designer experience, exploring possible communication channels, identifying favorites, and presenting internal offers. The design was created as a study for a large project, an academic proposal, or an online student portfolio offered by a franchisee (school) or private institution.

Also, the owner had great international exposure and was friendly and open to an iterative design and release strategy. Lastly, an early adoption of an agile and/or scrum based development and creative plans and holistic methodology, allowing build teams and design teams to focus on practical and pragmatic use of the system while developing the most important, shippable deliverables.

Although, some of these studies or websites are no longer available online, you can find our latest design and website builds by using the portfolio tag in the search feature. Follow us on X @salleetech.

The Expanded Form

Energy, Direction and Design

XPF – The Expanded Form Band

Lab Work – XPF

XPF Band – Local VA, DC

Traditional Media • Cover Art • Artwork • Marketing

First, there was a local band in and around DC, known as The Expanded Form (XPF). The band was in search of new artwork, new artwork, heavily influenced by the post-industrial era, grunge, and emo scenes. They preferred playing at smaller venues, like small theaters and backyard shows, as opposed to stadium-sized venues. The band was based out of Northern Virginia and consisted of GWU students and more.

Creative Direction

Next, let’s talk about the creative direction. The designs are emotional, meant to embody old world traveling bands that used to tour stadiums. The idea is to simply stencil equipment white spray paint. It’s simple, easy-to-do and easy to recognize on the road. Each piece is lettered to keep track of speakers and accessories as bands moved from one venue to another. The direction was grainy, diffused, and simple. The stenciled letters had fuzziness to them, clear but not clean-edged up close. It’s a metaphor perhaps, spray painted, beat up, washed over and washed out. The second design shared has firetruck red backdrop, stage lighting, bleaching out the frame. This gives the illusion or the viewer the feeling of a first-person view, in the crowd under the lime light.

Heavily Processed, Over-processed; Energy

Lastly, we have the band actively playing, the piece is heavily shopped’ edited, pre-typography, in collage form. It’s a tri-tone creative piece developed as a poster or advertisement for showtimes and ticket sales. It mixes highlights and low light, an over-processed concept featuring white and blue (almost electric blue). Ultimately, the image was created to mimic or capture the stage energy, the raw power behind the music and cohesive sound.

Lefty Lacrosse – Design & Textures, Logo Patterns and more

Lefty Lacrosse – Design & Texture – In addition to our original post, the client was looking for something new, to rebrand the business. After a few rounds of design concepts we settled on this this, the LL reversed with the spines of the Uppercase L back-to-back. This logo not only had a strong visual presence but also proved to be useful in various applications such as on the website, online, print media and merchandise. The texture added depth to the site and helped in brand recognition and usefulness elsewhere (website, online, print media, merch etc.). Texture could be used around the site, bring depth to the site and help bring recognition to the brand.

The logo also symbolizes the ‘apex’ of the mountain, representing the highest point and elevation of the product. The shortened ‘L’ horizontal bar signifies the landscape. The ‘fire-engine’ red color is a nod to the client’s career @lefty at the University Of Massachusetts. Another success of the logo is its ability to stand alone or be used as a design element. Over time we discovered that the logo could be incorporated into textures, highlight elements, high fade/low opacity elements, background designs, and more. This versatility makes it perfect for enhancing website pages and lacrosse merchandise.

Overall, the new logo for Lefty Lacrosse successfully captures the essence of the brand and provides a strong visual identity across various platforms.

CILL – Continental Indoor Lacrosse League 2011-Present

Web • Pro/AM Box League • Hosting • CMS Content Management System • DB Database Management • Social/Traditional Media(print • Marketing • Analytics.

The highly anticipated Continental Indoor Lacrosse League virtual presence exceeded expectations with it’s online league website. The website was created to compete with other CMS (see our other CMS examples) or CMS like products like Sports Engine and Team Unify (now a subsidiary of Sports Engine). It provided live action play, game clips, in-game video, and league marketing for ownership/franchisees, media and league updates. The board aimed to deliver real-time content, (location based) information, real-time stats to attract fans to the Continental Indoor Lacrosse League.

The website also served as an archive, offering historical games, content, updates, and more for past events. This marked an important evolutionary step for the governing body and the organization as a leadership group. Introducing new franchise opportunities, teams, communication stability among league resources, management team, leadership, and inter-league play. The website was the primary source for all games, web broadcasts, and the intercontinental governing body for the league. It provided real-time player information for players, referees, and fans in both the US and Canada.

Shaker Heights CC a.k.a. SHCC

Web • Membership/Amenities Management • CMS Content Management • POS Point-Of-Sale • Membership/Payment System • Hosting • Social Marketing/Gorilla (less Traditional) Media • Marketing.

SHCC survives today and the club was looking to modernize ‘relations’ with club membership. Funding was the main issue for the membership team and the club as a whole. Strategic funds were secured and pushed toward growth, family activities, family amenities and more. Next a new point-of-sale (POS)system, which included club membership, management and amenities, was purchased.

Ultimately, the upgraded system would help manage the club upgrades, communication and social events, all in line with a broader club initiative of club growth. These enhancements were not limited to improvements but also included securing funds to improve the grounds, the pool, and the surrounding club footprint, as well as forestry improvements.

Thirdly, this redesign introduced the idea of an omni channel approach, creating one ecosystem with the goal of boosting club involvement both onsite and in the virtual space. Additional club offerings and improved golf membership experiences for the families were also part of the plan.

In conclusion, all club enhancements and membership directives focused on improving upon and enhancing the ‘old-world feel’. Careful consideration was given to finding solutions with staying power, refined improvements, and sophisticated amenities that would enhance the overall membership experience. Investments were made in the digital space, management, and logistics services across the club’s ecosystem to create a unified experience unlike any other steeped in tradition and the rich history of the club, the surrounding city and it’s people.
