Recent Website Launches

It was hard to select just a few websites out of the dozens we have completely recently, but here are our newsletter-only staff picks.

Tompkins County Public Library [www.TCPL.org]

TCPL In January, GORGES published a completely re-designed information website and portal for this valuable community institution. After a big effort of GORGES and TCPL staff spanning more than 6 months of time, the new, re-organized website is easy to use and easy to keep updated by library staff.

The website features separate portals for adults, teens, and kids, and is programmed to be mobile friendly, so the site works great on your phone! Try it out: tcpl.org

"Thank you both so very much for the terrific work of everyone at GORGES who helped us with the new site. Our Board was really excited about the website and the new features. We appreciate the time, the care and the energy all of you put into this project. We are thrilled with the results!"
Susan Currie  Director, Tompkins County Public Library

Graceful Gardens [GracefulGardens.com]

gg Owners Mark and Amanda Shenstone needed a way to sell their spectacular selection of garden flowers and plants online. GORGES responded with a stunningly designed website that quickly and easily guides the site visitor to purchasing trays of quality flowers.

After the site was live and selling, Amanda said:

"Your work is simply brilliant. You always understood what I was talking about or looking for. I feel very fortunate to have worked with you."
Amanda Shenstone   Owner, Graceful Gardens

Wishing Well [www.WishingWell.com]

Applied Pulsed Power

This online holistic resource is focused on promoting health and wellness, spirituality, and sustainability in the local community.

The site boasts online video libraries, communities of contributors, and facebook and twitter integration.

Some of the increasingly powerful Google tools found their way into this efforts, with a Google map integration, a live iCal feed, and synching of events to the visitors calendar if they choose.
