Our web team has partnered with several companies to aid in design and development. Here are a few:
Drupal - Drupal is an open source content management platform that we use as a content management system. It offers a high degree of flexibility, scalability and security.
Site Management Console (or SMC) - We use the content management system provided by SMC. It is search engine optimization friendly, and has core features that range from simple to complex including an article editor, photo gallery options and ecommerce ability.
iStockphoto - Buy photos for your site from iStockphoto. They are the internet’s original member-generate image and design community. With over 4 million photographs, videos, audio tracks and flash files, you are sure to find what you need on iStockphoto.
http://www.getlatlon.com/ - We use this site to grab latitude and longitude for google mapping when the client doesn't use geocoding. We also refer our clients to this site so they can enter this data into their content management system.
http://bluegrassltd.com/pms_color_chart.asp - Colors on the web are tricky. Every monitor displays colors slightly different. We send this chart to our clients so that they can choose a specific color they would like to use. This way, we make sure we get the color right for them.
http://www.photosize.com/ - We send our clients who don't have photoshop or any other software to resize photos to this website. It's easy to use, just upload your photo and enter the photo width in pixels.
http://pixenate.com/ - This site is also great for clients who don't have any image editing software. You can crop images to any aspect ratio very easily, and you can choose which portion of the image to crop out. It also has options to adjust brightness, improve color, fix red eye, change to black & white, rotate, and more.
A List Apart Magazine - explores the design, development, and meaning of web content, with a special focus on web standards and best practices.
http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ - If you're a real geek, this site is invaluable for drafting and testing RegEx code for data normalization or to use within your own programming.
