Civano Web Design

OHED DR Congo

OHED 

Visit the Website

Project Notes:
    This is an example of a new WordPress website.  Much of the content is in a blog format to make it easier for the client personnel to make updates themselves.

The mission of OHED is to alleviate poverty, famine, diseases, illiteracy, and their related consequences in the South Kivu Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Our name derives from "Organisation Humanitaire pour L'Education et le Developpement"

 

 

 

Restoring the Stanislaus River

 

Visit the Website

Project Notes:
    The Restoring the Stanislaus River website is an example of a modern design built using a Joomla Rev4 template with responsive features.

     

    This design features a "sticky menu."  This allows the menu to remain always visible at the top of the user screen during page scrolling.

 

Healthy Play

Project Notes:
    The new Healthy Play website is an example of an upgrade of a older (very dated) website to achieve a visually appealing new look with responsive features.  Almost everything was ripe for change - navigation, content, pictures, you name it.

Images of client workshop activities are displayed via a full-screen photo gallery that helps to tell the story of what the various training options entail.  The home page especially is full of movement and visual effects that are pleasing to the eye and help to generate excitement. The tasteful use of color helps to produce a consistent theme throughout the website.

 

Hacienda la Alegría

Visit the Website

Project Notes:
    The new Hacienda la Alegría website is an example of an upgrade of a older (and broken) website to achieve a visually appealing new look with responsive features.  The concept was to showcase the visual beauty of the setting, describe the cozy "casita" with full set of amenities, and persuade the viewer to fall in love with Hacienda la Alegría. 

The website features a basic availability calendar, but due to privacy preferences, reservations are made the old fashioned way via phone and a personal touch.

Images of this lovely desert property are displayed via a full-screen photo gallery and also in other pages using a "parallax" effect that viewers will find intriguing.

Project Notes:
With careful attention paid to designing for SEO, this new website is now in a leading position in the targeted Google search results. To see this, try a Google search for “tucson commercial cabinetry”

 

Today, S & R Cabinetry has a new business focus -  the commercial cabinet marketplace.  To go along with this, we created a new responsive design website with a brand-new look. 

 

One Street Bicycle Advocacy

Project Notes:
The goal for the project was to upgrade the One Street website giving it a more contemporary look and achieve a mobile friendly ease of use.  While most aspects of the site were to be updated – layout, style, navigation, logo, and content  -  the over-all look and feel of the old website needed to be respected and considered in the upgrade process.  The design approach to meet the competing requirements was to utilize the new template from the same template supplier mirroring some aspects of the original website, but freshening the appearance and incorporating new responsive technology.


 

Cactus Cove

Visit the website

Project Notes:
Civano Web Design was given the challenge to give the existing Cactus Cove website a fresh look and improved user experience.  Virtually every aspect of the site is new – layout, style, navigation, logo, content, and photos. The property is strikingly beautiful, so to truly capture this for the website, I made two visits to the bed and breakfast, camera in hand.

Also key to the success of the new Cactus Cove website was the design-for-SEO methodology.   In a very competitive market, Cactus Cove is consistently prominent on Google search results.

Project Notes:
Civano Web Design was given the challenge to upgrade the Trails by Potter website to give a fresh look and improved user experience.  While most aspects of the site were to be updated – layout, style, navigation, logo, content, and photos -  the over-all look and feel of the old website needed to be respected and considered in the upgrade process.  The design approach to meet the competing requirements was to create a new template mirroring some aspects of the original website, but freshening the appearance and incorporating new responsive technology.

Working with Chuck from Civano Web Design has been magnificent. Chuck was able to understand what I wanted for my webpage, the look, feeling and atmosphere of the guesthouse making it inviting for visitors to the site to want to make a reservation. I was very pleased that all of this was able to be accomplished in meetings over the phone and email, though we could have met in person. The convenience and ease of the process was excellent. Chuck also was a great teacher showing me in person how to maintain and update the reservation calendar, he provided great notes and instruction in person which made for fast learning. Thanks for a beautiful finished product!

It is my pleasure to recommend using Civano Web Design to design and build your website. Chuck is personable, listens carefully, and gives thoughtful advice. He was able to take our existing website template, mid-project, and transform it to meet our needs resulting in a professional and highly functional marketing tool for our company.

He provided detailed website training for myself and my staff following website completion, allowing us to make our own updates and changes as those needs arise. Although our website experience was limited, we walked away from Chuck’s training with an understanding of how much of the website works and how to manipulate the information and graphics to keep it current and up-to-date.

Thank you Chuck for your hard work and dedication to producing a quality product, and for your great customer service.

We have had our business websites for many years. One of us has always worked on it, and tried to be creative... When we bought the Inn at Civano business we decided to have a professional site created for us. What a delightful surprise!

Chuck helped us with suggestions, usage and programs that we could use for advertising our Inn. Plus he created a Google presence for us that we have never had before!
Thank you Chuck for a wonderful experience.

Chuck is very responsive to feedback and knows how to get a website noticed.  He has a very kind and professional manner and was very easy to work with through all the stages of creating a beautiful web site.

I felt like my old website was outdated and didn’t represent the quality of services I provide. Initially, I tried two DIY websites but found them not to be as user friendly as I had hoped for. Additionally, their designs, though serviceable, felt repetitive and sterile.

Chuck created a design that reflected my consulting business and presented it in a way that was fresh, engaging and utilized his unique signature style. He was professional and quite easy to work with, open to collaboration, and made sure I got what I wanted. My website is extremely well organized, structured to mirror my services, provides a storefront for my book, and showcases my photos and videos.

The genuine communication we had throughout the whole process made me feel, not only happy with the website Chuck designed, but with all my interactions with this talented and compassionate person.

Healthy Play

Chuck Young, the owner of Civano Web Design, has been doing SEO (search engine optimization) for our website since October of 2012. Chuck is very methodical in his approach to researching the competition, adding meta data and editing content. He has given us great advice on how to better organize our content and what additional content needs to be added so that it looks great to the search engines and clients.

Due to his work on our website, our page rankings have greatly improved on all the services we offer and we have seen an increase in traffic and in the number of unique visits to our website. When a new client comes to the office we always ask how they heard of us. More and more we are getting responses such as, "I did an internet search and your website came up."  Or "I Googled "Juvederm" and your website came up.  " We know Chuck's endeavors are working! An added bonus is that his prices are very reasonable.

In closing, we give Chuck and Civano Website Design our highest recommendation. You will get results and new clients.

Chuck Young at Civano Web Design took our old platform website and updated it. He gave it a face lift with newer modern functionalities complete with drop-down menus, new pictures, and web optimization.  


As a bonus, he gave us the tools to make changes on our own and continues to give us technical support. We really appreciated his expertise with our updated site.

I needed a website fast. I had committed to a print media with web address but I had no website. Civano Web Design accepted the job and in two weeks my website was open for business!

Chuck created an easy-to-use website that showcased our portfolio of work beautifully and got it to the top of Google results so my business could be easily found by customers. He took a personal interest in helping my business succeed, acting as a marketing advisor in addition to just designing a website. I would highly recommend Civano Web Design.
