It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything here about Lincoln Loop, so it’s time for a quick update.
In short, we’ve been hard at work. In addition to having multiple speakers at DjangoCon, and starting work on an internal project, our team also launched two big client development projects:
- GamesRadar is a high-traffic gaming review site with lots of social features
- Evite Postmark is a web application for building premium online invitations and correspondences
With these two big initiatives launched, for the first time in almost a year, our team has availability for new client work.
We’re now on the lookout for the next great project to take on. Our ideal project would be one that lets us focus on our strong points: remote development, in an agile manner, using Django and Python. We typically look for long-term engagements (more than 3 months) that ...

We recently built and launched CashOffersFast.com. It gives people an easy, no-risk way to put their home up for sale. Pre-qualified investors can then make anonymous bids on any home listed with the site.
We worked very closely with the owner of the site to convert his concept into a working web application. From the initial concept, we identified the minimal set of features necessary for the site to function, then took an iterative approach to quickly deliver those features. This allowed the owner to use our working copy for presenting the site to potential investors while we were in the middle of the development cycle.
The site is built in Django and was designed by Derek at ashwebmedia.

A few weeks ago, I released Prudential Steamboat Realty’s new site into the wild. It is my first (but not last) large site built in Django to go live. As usual, ashwebmedia did a great job on redesigning the site and building the user interface.
Prudential gave me the opportunity to scrap their existing property search and build a new one from the ground up. When I’d used local real estate searches in the past, I found them to be pretty poor from a design and user interface standpoint. I took my insight as an end-user along with Prudential’s input to create a more pleasant search experience for their visitors. The initial feedback we have received has been very positive.
In order to keep the search easy to use while still giving “power-users” access to lots of options, I used quite a bit of unobtrusive JavaScript (via ...

Just put the final touches on www.bearlodgesteamboat.com. It is a WordPress site designed by ashwebmedia, then hand-coded into a custom WordPress theme at Lincoln Loop.

The new Waterside Day Spa site is out the door. The site was built using WordPress as the backend CMS with a custom theme developed by myself and designed by the talented Derek Ashauer of ashwebmedia.
Overall, I’m very pleased with how this one turned out. The site really captures the look they were going for.
I was able to tweak the templates in WordPress to give them the sidebar menus found on many of the pages without compromising their ability to manage the content in-house. It was surprisingly simple. I’ll try to do a write-up on the technique I used here.
Some sIFR was thrown in to keep pretty headline fonts throughout the site. I also used javascript image replacement where appropriate. I’ll be posting soon on why I like javascript over some of the other image replacement techniques out there.
By using image replacement, Waterside ...

I just wrapped up development on a website for The Victoria, a high-end mixed use development in downtown Steamboat.
Derek at ashwebmedia is the designer behind the site. It is the first work we’ve done together and he really nailed the elegant look we were going for. He was great to work with and I hope to be doing more work with him in the future.
I built the site using WordPress for the backend CMS. The frontend is all standards-based semantic XHTML/CSS with a little unobtrusive JavaScript flair thrown in courtesy of jQuery.
With IE6 on its way out the door, I felt comfortable using tranparent PNGs extensively across the site. It let me to separate the background image on each page from the logo, which not only made logical sense, but has some added benefits as well. The browser can cache the logo across the ...

Red Arrow Camp came to us to give their existing website a facelift. They were looking for a new design as well as a site that was easier to update and would allow them to showcase some of the great photos they capture every summer. Their new site, designed by Whole Studios, is appealing to prospective campers while maintaining functionality for parents, alumni, and employees.
The entire site is now a dynamic database driven content management system built upon WordPress that allows them to easily change and add content as necessary. We built a custom theme to allow pages to have multiple “parents” in the frontend. The Flash slideshows were done with Slideshow Pro, again allowing for easy management and updates by the owners.

Prism Advisors came to us to refresh their existing website built out of static images providing them very little visibility in search engines. Whole Studios came up with a sharp design for the site which we implemented in our favorite blogging software turned CMS, Wordpress.
The end result is a clean site built on semantic xhtml that is primed for the search engines to crawl.

Yet another great site design by Whole Studios, implemented in Wordpress by NDS Internet. The integrated blog allows YVEA to easily post updates and news for its customers and helps them direct customers to answers to common questions.
The dynamic database-driven content management system provides easy page editing for anyone in the organization. Previously, all their web pages were static HTML, requiring all changes to go through a de-facto in house “web programmer” with a knowledge of the HTML programming language.

Another Whole Studios design implemented in Wordpress by NDS Internet. The backend IDX functionality from their existing site was modified to work inside Wordpress.
We utilized the blogging functionality built into Wordpress to help the Autrey’s keep their site fresh for returning visitors. An added bonus of having a blog is that sites with frequently updated content tend to rank higher in search engine results.
