Shop Cross ecommerce website
ShopCross.com has launched! This e-commerce site uses a contemporary, user-friendly platform designed to convert visitors into buyers. The content management system is robust enough to support a 10,000+ item catalog and to integrate with third-party fulfillment tools, but simple enough that non-technical staff can maintain the catalog and the site.
We also added a smart search system, so that you're sure to find what product you're looking for — even when there are over 10,000 of them!

Piedmont Together website
This website was unveiled today at Piedmont Together's Livable Communities Summit in High Point and was built to be able to provide information regarding the project's regional plan. The site layout presents information in a way that is easy to find and digest by both general audiences but still incorporates the tools desired by planners and developers, like interactive maps. With a blog and news-oriented layout, the project's updates are efficiently presented, and audience input is valued through webform submissions.

YouTube Tips for Nonprofits and Small Businesses
YouTube’s popularity across the world has made it possible for uploaded videos to “go viral.” Remember the Kony thing? And Gangnam style? Pretty sure Justin Bieber was discovered on YouTube, too... Anyway, let’s focus on something more positive. While it is video-based, video is a medium that’s pretty versatile. Artists upload their music videos and those hoping to showcase their musical talent upload the covers. Businesses post advertisements, bored kids upload funny skits, and lonely cat women show us how being them isn’t so bad when your kittens are that adorable.
Pinterest Tips for Nonprofits and Small Businesses
Do you have cards and pictures stuck with magnets on your fridge? These are usually things that make you feel good. After all, as a kid having that test with an “A” on it stuck on the fridge for a week was an honor. And a bit of inspiration to try do as well on the next one. The refrigerator becomes a canvas for ideas. Now picture this canvas being on the internet. The best way to describe Pinterest is probably an inspiration board. It’s a way to keep all the things you like in one place.
Instagram Tips for Nonprofits and Small Businesses
I hate to use the corny line “a picture is worth a thousand words,” but it just so happens that it’s too applicable to social media for me to pass up. If a Facebook post or Tweet includes a photo, it receives significantly greater views and engagement. To the woe of writers everywhere, sometimes a picture actually does it best. In social media terms, a picture is worth a thousand followers. (Oh, the corniness kills me!) But there’s proof: Instagram.
