12-01-15 Rocky Mountain Hardware takes bronze to a new level

crafted bronze hardware for the whole home. Insite worked with Tolleson to

10-06-15 Paid-membership website modernizes the way AgResource Company offers
products
For over 20 years, AgResource Company (ARC) has been the world’s
leading agricultural advisory and research firm, but the company was emailing PDF attachments to sell its
products. Insite helped ARC conceive of a paid-membership model, with information products available on the
website and mobile devices.
The responsive Wordpress theme is home to an e-commerce solution that offers different levels of membership
with
access to published research and advisories. This innovative solution—a world away from the
company’s
outdated, inefficient system—exceeded its expectations and led to a spinoff website for Agrbrasil.com, which supports ARC’s South
American market.
3-01-15 See Jane Farm seeks to disrupt the world’s oldest industry
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.
3-01-14 Clean, compelling website helps author Kristin Ohlson engage with her
audience

science, food, art, travel—or anything else that captures her interest. In conjunction with her latest

Farmers, and Foodies Are Healing the Soil to Save the Planet, Insite created a smart
visual
identity to complement Kristin’s talents.
Starting with Kristin’s author photo by Kristin Beadle, and featuring a blog and integrated social media, the new website helps the author build
relationships and create a stronger connection with her readers. The responsive design promotes Kristin’s
books and reviews, articles, news,
and upcoming talks and book signings.

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.

9-05-13 Responsive design gives Arlington Public Library a big experience on the
small screen
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.
9-01-13 New website offers an immersive experience for NanaWall’s operable glass
walls
Insite Web Publishing worked with Tolleson
Design, a creative agency based in San Francisco, to create a stunning new website for NanaWall. The California company pioneered
the
category of operable glass wall systems, used in homes, restaurants, hotels, auto showrooms and more.
The website showcases NanaWall’s beautiful products with awe-inspiring photography, videos, 3-D
renderings,
schematic downloads and thorough product documentation—and it’s an essential tool for
manufacturers’ reps to promote and sell products. The comprehensive website will appeal to everyone from
homeowners and business owners to designers and builders who are looking for a unique architectural feature.
With photography this good, it was crucial to heavily integrate with third-party tools for page sharing and
social media, including Pinterest, HOUZZ, Facebook, Twitter and Google+. The website also works seamlessly with
design wizards that walk
architects and contractors through the process of selecting and configuring the Nanawall product that’s
right for their project.
Insite continues to provide website development, support and consulting services to NanaWall.
4-01-13 Insite gives fresh update to online interior design magazine

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.
Created on the Drupal 7 platform, the new online magazine format makes it easy to manage and update editorial
content, and Mr. Irving provided content management training to staff contributors.

featuring the school’s people and programs and capturing the character of this stunning recreational area.

overlooked programs, including Art, Japanese, Theater and the Soccer Team. Rounding out the redesign are pages

website also integrates YouTube and Twitter to boost communication
among members.
8-11-12 New membership management system gives Oregon veterinary group room to grow
