Huckabee
Client Firm: The Balcom Agency
2009.04
The Huckabee website is built in Dialogs, with one of the more complex configurations we've set up. On the page level there are multiple options for how content sections display, including columnized or not columnized, callout boxes, inserted images (using tokens for placement), and the calling of more complex database-driven content.
The background images use javascript to resize to fit the viewport width, and are chosen at random for each page. The portfolios and case studies, as well as other areas, are also managed with Dialogs, with their own specialized layouts to accomidate their unique content.

City of Fate
Client Firm: Mode Design Studio
2009.03
The website for the City of Fate, Texas, was rebuilt using Dialogs so that the client can manage content themselves easily. An official city website needs to be able to keep contact information on various city departments up to date, as well as maintain news items and official city documents including agendas and minutes for official meetings. Additionally, there are special accessibility issues for official governmental websites.Disciplines: jQuery, Javascript, XHTML, CSS, CMS Integration
Dog Training Club of Dallas County
2009.03
A complete site rebuild for the Dog Training Club of Dallas County. The previous site design was many years old, and the club wanted to be able to better compete against large corporate chains which also offer training classes. We rebuilt the site from scratch, using WordPress for content management. Information about classes and upcoming events is now much easier to access. We were also able to provide a secure area of the site for DTCDC members, which allows them access to members-only information and documents.
The custom WordPress theme has tailor-made dynamic navigation, and the site makes use of a number of WP plugins to manage events, expiration dates, restricted file access, a Flickr gallery, and other details.

Clinicians who use and sell Rhonda Allison products can log in to browse and purchase available products, as well as access special content, videos and downloadable materials. The existing product catalog was integrated into Dialogs.

Client Firm: Kaleidoscope

Tony Lama
Client Firm: The Balcom Agency
2009.01
Another great site designed by the Balcom Agency, and built in Dialogs. The new Tony Lama website features custom backgrounds assigned to each page, with a lot of elements that overlap other elements. The site has a static-sized content area, so a javascript scrolling solution is used to accomidate longer sections of content. On some pages, the content scrolls "under" design elements that overlap from the backgrounds. Additionally, each page/section of the site has its own unique layout for actual content.
The site makes use of the client's existing product database, which was integrated into Dialogs.

Norman Regional Health System
Client Firm: The Balcom Agency
2008.10
The lovely new Norman Regional website encompasses a large amount of content and information for patients and the general public. Powered by Dialogs, this site includes information about Norman Regional, news, volunteer information, blogs, videos, information about doctors, and details about service locations.
The Services section pulls data incorporated from an existing database, which was imported into Dialogs, and displays it in combination with other data entered regarding locations, doctors and services. Promotional blocks displayed on the site are organized through Dialogs to appear in specified context. All of the data within the site is tightly integrated to work in different areas in different ways.
