Skaneateles Design worked closely with Dr. Robert Kiltz, a succesful IVF doctor in CNY, to launch a community wellness website. There are many contributors writing blog posts to the site on a daily basis. MindBodySmile is based on the WordPress framework version 2.5.1. This version is a breeze to use, if you are currently operating your website on the WordPress framework I strongly urge you to upgrade to 2.5.1.

If you have any interest in the mind-body-spirit connection, wellness and connecting with others then you should DEFINITELY check out MindBodySmile.com by Dr. Rob. It’s a great place to be

With the hope of looking less commercial, and more elegant, I’ve changed the look of Skaneateles Design hopefully for the last time in a long time!

More content will be coming shortly, including examples of still media and film content, illustrating how this media can be embedded into your site.

Unless you’re already looking at it, visit the website here.

Skaneateles Design has launched the new Aurora of Central New York website. The website is based upon the WordPress content management framework, and has both standard (default) and accessible themes. Aurora of CNY promotes independence and opportunity for the hearing and visually impaired in CNY.

Join SkaneatelesTalk to gain exposure:

In recent weeks we have been working on major changes and additions to our local community website SkaneatelesTalk.com. The Wiki project was merged with the blog to take advantage of the incoming traffic and great search engine ranking that SkaneatelesTalk is enjoying. Now the business listing in the Wiki directory will gain even more exposure.

After this merge was finalized we changed the look and navigation of SkaneatelesTalk a little for ease of use. The home page is more of a portal for the website than just a running list of blog entries. Over this past week-end we implemented a public blog section so that now any Skaneateles resident or Skaneateles based business can go in and create their own blog right on our SkaneatelesTalk website. The purpose of this change is to share our search engine ranking and website traffic with our local community. Now you can add your content to SkaneatelesTalk and get more exposure.

The final enhancement that was completed yesterday is a discussion forum. We were looking at several different options for this enhancement and then were lucky enough to find a WordPress discussion forum plug-in. It’s a nice clean forum and very simple to use. It also utilizes the tags that are used by the WordPress system which is great for sharing information with the entire Web community.

If you are a local Skaneateles resident or business owner then go to SkaneatelesTalk NOW and sign up for a blog and start posting articles. It’s free and it will increase your exposure on the Internet.

Mix102.5 launches

Skaneateles Designed launched the Mix 102.5 radio station website in February. Galaxy Communications owns this Utica Radio Station. The program manager, Ted Bradford, gave us some direction on the look he was interested in. Once the design was agreed upon, we then needed to come up with a scripting program that retrieved United Stations daily content and uploaded it to the home page of Mix 102.5. Ted also wanted the Utica weather displayed on the home page and needed flash programming for advertisements that change periodically. The site was completed and Ted is now able to change ads and most content all by himself.

This site is another WordPress based website that Skaneateles Design implemented for a customer who needed the ability to change their content often.
