The team at See Jane Farm sees farming differently. Why feed just two people per acre when you could feed 700—without pesticides? It’s a bold idea that borrows from technology, science, and other industries to slash water use and shorten the distance that produce travels.

The website is equally bold and unexpected, opening on a red background with white text. The single “long-scroll” page design flows into full-width photos of spinach and kale, and the responsive Wordpress theme ensures the site is equally appealing on any device.

Insite redesigned the website for Ogawa Fisher Architects, a firm that designs residential spaces in San Francisco, California, and Portland, Oregon. Their practice focuses on personal design, inside and out. Featuring stunning photography, the website reflects OFA’s aesthetic: clean, simple spaces that transcend style.

Responsive for mobile, the website showcases outstanding projects and allows visitors to view projects by type (e.g., bath, kitchen, natural light). Featured projects offer in-depth details and image galleries that bring the work to life. A news blog covers a variety of topics: inspiration, collaborations, materials and more.

Insite continues to work with OFA on the firm’s newsletter and social media strategy.

Arlington Public Library received a grant from the Texas State Library to update and optimize its website for use on mobile devices. The responsive design from Insite Web Publishing leverages the current desktop design to present a full website experience for targeted mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets.

While some organizations create separate, mobile-only versions of their website—with reduced content and limited functionality—our approach to responsive design is to enable the full website experience, including all content and functionality. Insite examined and identified the library’s popular page design layouts and content types, and then studied various mobile responsive breakpoints. Next, we created dynamic, responsive layouts to accommodate the content.

One significant challenge was deciding on how best to implement large-scale information architecture and navigation that was just as intuitive on a small screen. In the end, Arlington Public Library’s responsive design website is an accessible and pleasant mobile experience that reflects the library’s brand.

Insite Web Publishing worked with Wisconsin ad agency Bader Rutter to redesign Impact Magazine, the online publication from OfficeMax Workplace Interiors. What began as a print magazine several years ago is now a relevant online resource for architects and interior design professionals.

The award-winning Impact includes regular features such as Workstation Life and topical, in-depth interviews with the design professionals who create productive and stimulating workspaces. Part of the clean, fresh look is a tag cloud covering a variety of popular topics, such as productivity, collaboration, corporate culture, flexible workspace, LEED and office design.

Columbia Gorge Community College recently unveiled its new home page—referred to by the college as its “third campus”—marking the halfway point of Insite Web Publishing’s two-year contract.

While CGCC is well known for its renewable energy programs, the new home page also highlights an array of often overlooked programs, including Art, Japanese, Theater and the Soccer Team. Rounding out the redesign are pages for About, Academics, Admissions, A-Z Index, Business Office, Calendar, Contact, Directories, Financial Aid and News.

The Oregon Veterinary Medical Association’s conference attendees can now register for events online.

Along with event registration, the flexible e-commerce tool can generate reports and will also be able to process classified ad payments.

In an emergency, time is critical. The Oregon Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (ORWARN), part of a nationwide effort launched after Hurricane Katrina, lets utilities join together to post equipment and teams that can be mobilized during an emergency, without requiring an official disaster declaration.

The website also integrates YouTube and Twitter to boost communication among members.

I just returned from a three-week trip in Mexico and Belize. There I explored ancient Mayan ruins, swam with sharks and stingrays, watched a bullfight, and learned that high-school Spanish, while sufficient to get by, often leads to amusing misunderstandings.
