Our blog has been pretty quiet for the last month due to the fact that we’ve been pretty busy. It all came together last week as we saw the launch of four different client sites. Here’s a brief rundown of what we’ve been working on:

Columbus College of Art & Design

www.ccad.edu
We spent the last several months working with CCAD to completely re-orchestrate their website. Starting with web strategy and new architecture, designing the concept and the user experience, and finishing with web standards programming, we delivered the complete package. Our developers even got their hands dirty with a custom designed, AJAX-driven calendar integrated with the Google Calendar Data API.

CATCO

www.catco.org
CATCO is place to go for live theatre in Columbus. We worked closely with the people at CATCO to provide the online destination for information their organization and shows they put on each season. After many hours executing strategy & IA, concept design, UXD, and web standards programming we launched their new site. We had so much fun working on the project we even volunteered to help them promote the new site at Gallery Hop last weekend.

CallCopy

www.callcopy.com
Call recoding software specialist CallCopy came to us looking for a sleek redesign of their website as well as some guidance on navigation and architecture. After the first week of having the new site live we’ve heard reports that the new site has already yielded an increased conversion rate.

The Ohio State University Medical Center: CITIH

citih.osumc.edu
The Ohio State University Medical Center came to us looking for design and development of a microsite for its Center for IT Innovations in Healthcare (CITIH). This one had a tight timeline but we rolled it out in time for them to start accepting registrants for their summit Leveraging Federal Stimulus Funding for Healthcare IT Innovation.

Oh yeah, these are also the first four clients running the new version of the dynamIt Content Management System (dCMS). We launched that in July too.

Dynamit was honored as one of the “Best Places to Work” in 2010 & 2011 by Columbus Business First newspaper and Interactive Agency of the Year. Times are even better in 2012 and we’re hiring a Web/Graphic Designer for our aggressively growing team.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting edge projects for well-known brands in a dynamic, entrepreneurial and highly creative environment. Please email resumes/cover letters and portfolio information (documents or links to online examples) to Gary Moneysmith via gmoney@dynamit.us.

A web/graphic designer on the Dynamit team will:

• Be well versed with Adobe Creative Suite: Strong knowledge of Photoshop, experience with Illustrator and InDesign.

• Have experience in user experience design (UXD) designing application and system interfaces. This experience is crucial for this position.

• Have a Strong Portfolio: We’d like to see much more web work than print.
• Be eager to learn, with a passion for design & the web. The designer should have a strong internal drive for industry knowledge and be committed to furthering the craft.
